It is amazing that devotees (whom I can only regard as neophytes) after so many years of us engaging in this battle to keep ISKCON property in ISKCON hands:
1) Seek to misrepresent this fight as one of merely monetary interest.
2) Are attached to represent this fight as an example of ISKCON's pettiness.
Kuruksetra was fought as a matter of principle. The court has unknowingly (they are not Vaisnavas) taken a step towards recognizing the false rtvik hoax, thus recognizing in law an alternative to the pure guru/disciple relationship of parampara.
If the court were comprised of self realized souls I do not think they would have been so foolish.
