Faithful followers of the BBT have adopted March 14th as “BBT Only Day” in recognition of a significant instruction Srila Prabhupada issued to all temples and members of the Society on March 14th 1974 in the following letter: Letter is actually above.
Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Now let us analyse this letter and BBT ONLY DAY.
We could not agree more that it should be BBT Only Everyday. These people promoting themselves as faithful followers and directors of BBT are not even close to that position.
First paragraph: BBTI has already destroyed or extinguished, (in their own words) the BBT in both Bombay and LA. They do not follow anything that Prabhupada instructed regarding BBT.
Second paragraph, case in point: Prabhupada formed BBT, not BBTI. And where are the exclusive rights that Prabhupada invested in BBT. They are stolen by BBTI.
What are those exclusive rights? “Printing of all literature containing my teachings, writings and lectures. What do we get from BBTI. Revised books by Jaiadvaita and Dravida and New Bhagavatams and many other books by numerous conditioned souls.
50% is not being given by BBTI. Ask for their accounts worldwide and see how far you get.
Third paragraph:KBI was authorised, but BBTI is breaking that agreement of cooperation and court order and only want to wipe them out.
I have also tried to offer my services to BBTI and pay a royalty to print Prabupada’s original books, and also to offer anything I print to support the Bhaktivedanta Archives with 50% of the profits going to the Archives and 50% to reprint more books for the same purpose with nothing for myself. They rejected my offer.How much are these directors of BBTI taking for themselves? Ask for their accounts and see how far you get.
Fourth paragraph: BBTI is printing independently and have already ruined the BBT.
Fifth paragraph: So let us do the needful and bring back Prabhupada’s original BBT and books and make it BBT Only Day, every day.
Your servant,
Jitarati das
Faithful followers of Srila Prabhupada
Obeisance
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
What can we do to bring back Prabhupada’s original BBT and books and make it BBT again?
1) Expose BBTI and their directors, salaries and travel expenses including 5 star hotels/restaurants, demanding to see their accounting books, expose those that changed his books and BBT.
2) Start a Class action case against BBTI in California breaking KBI agreements to print Original books & using the INDIA printing of 5000 sets of Srimad Bhagavatams by KBI representative that is now held hostage as case in point. This will help us gather 1000 supporters/devotees after which we can vote in a team of devotees for collecting $100.00 each from our supporters to start the court case a.s.a.p.
3) Time for action to gather support with social media and web sites/blogs, getting signatures for signing petitions especially in USA and INDIA with other countries joining in.
Sincerely,
A humble book distributor of original books of Srila Prabhupada.
