This is a letter i got through Radhadesh forumDear Maharajas and Prabhus,Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!We beg you to pray for the ISKCON Sri Sri Gaurasundara-Nitaicand Temple inVladimir (Russia). Worship in this Temple has been carried out for the last 17years. But recently city officials (Management of municipal property) demandedthat we vacate the temple building by September 1, 2009. (See Russian versionof Municipal Housing Board notification here:http://www.vtsnet.ru/iskcon/mrooskv-otkaz.jpg and herehttp://www.vtsnet.ru/iskcon/pdj-otkaz.jpg).In our official reply (see Russian version herehttp://www.vtsnet.ru/iskcon/mrooskv-otvet.jpg and herehttp://www.vtsnet.ru/iskcon/pdj-ovet.jpg) we ask the Municipal Housing Board tocancel this decision and explain that ISKCON Vladimir and Food for LifeVladimir are important educational and charity organizations. Besides, ISKCONTemple in Vladimir has international significance, being regularly visited byHindus from other Russian towns and cities.We keep hope that this problem can still be solved favorably. Gopal KrishnaGoswami, who has done so much for organization of this temple, has written tous, that “we should not give up so easily”. So far we beg you to pray thatISKCON Vladimir and Food for Life Vladimir remain in their present location:56/25 Nikolo-Galeiskaya Street, Vladimir, Russia. Hopefully, everything will beruled out at this point. If not, more vigorous support will be required. Weshall inform of the latest developments on the site www.vtsnet.ru/iskcon/Your servant,Sacipati das (ISKCON Vladimir Chairman)* Please direct the message to the interested. You may also post it in yourcenter board. This is another opportunity to prove that we are INTERNATIONAL.
