Giriraj Swami did not approve actions in Vrindavan
By Vipramukhya Swami

In an article on CHAKRA “What really happened in Vrindavan?” Mahaman dasa, temple president of ISKCON Vrindavan, was quoted as saying, “There are many members of the resident community as well as visiting devotees including former President Deena Bandhu Prabhu, Daivisakti mataji, Giriraj Maharaj, Radha Govinda Maharaj and others who support our view and action.” Now, however, Giriraj Swami denies that he was consulted by Mahaman.

“I happened to be in Vrindavan for a few days during the middle of the controversy,” Giriraj Maharaja told CHAKRA. “Practically I had nothing to do with it, and I am surprised Mahaman had quoted my name as approving of his actions. I only learned of the incident from the messages on COM after I left India.”

Giriraj Maharaj says he is very sorry for what happened in Vrindavan.

“Of course I want the ladies to have proper darshan of the Deities, and I would like the devotees to work together in the way Srila Prabhupada wanted.”

He has given us permission to post his statements on CHAKRA for clarification.
