The Reality of Madhu Pandit Dasa & ISKCON Bangalore, Exposing ISKCON Mumbai Lies Varada Krishna Dasa

A recent YouTube video titled "Why I Left ISKCON Bangalore" repeated the same allegations against Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa that have been made, and rejected, for over two decades. This is ISKCON Bangalore's reply, with the documents. On 16 May 2025, the Supreme Court of India ruled in favour of Śrīla Prabhupāda's ISKCON group (ISKCON Bangalore), ending a 25-year legal battle with ISKCON Mumbai. Yet the same accusations continue. In this video we answer them, and look at the 1979–2025 record of how those who asked to follow Śrīla Prabhupāda's 9 July 1977 order have been treated. If Madhu Pandit Dasa were "after property", why, after winning in the Supreme Court, did he offer to hand over the temples? See his peace proposal for yourself.
