Sects / "the International society of consciousness of Krishna"

Management of Rosselhoznadzora across the Tomsk region has written out to harekrishnas the instruction to eliminate illegal building nearby village Kandinka, and local people continue to protest against their ashrama

As we knew, Management of Federal Agency of veterinary and fytosanitory supervision across the Tomsk region (Upravlenie Rosselhoznadzora) has written out on December, 19th the instruction "about elimination of infringements of rules and norms" to Country noncommercial partnership "Kandinsky" - so the Tomsk society of consciousness of Krishna has decided to register the religious settlement crafty. In the decision it is said that members ДНП "Kandinsky" on the earths of agricultural purpose the area of 4,3 hectares "deliberately in current legislation infringement autocratically were capital structures" are erected. It was offered to krishnaitam-summer residents to eliminate the specified infringements till June, 01st, 2009.

It is meanwhile already collected and directed to Office of Public Prosecutor of the Tomsk region and to the governor of the Tomsk region more than five hundred signatures of local residents against building кришнаитского religious settlement, and petition proceeds. Thus the indignation is stated by inhabitants already all district Zarechnogo where such large settlements, as Kaftanchikovo, Black Small river, Kurlek etc. enter besides Kandinki and Kaltaja

That is absolutely unanimous unwillingness of inhabitants to see on the earth кришнаитское religious settlement in which they absolutely fairly see the future missionary centre of the destructive sect absolutely alien and антагонистически adjusted to local traditional culture takes place.

So, in our disposal there is an Internet mailing made still in June, 2007 the head of Tomsk consciousness of Krishna by Enverom Izmaylov in which he invited all кришнаитов Russia, to take part in share land buying and settlement building under village Kandinka. And it is valid, about 1/3 participants who have got a share in specified country noncommercial partnership, are not inhabitants of the Tomsk region. Whether strange to build a summer residence at us, for example, to inhabitants of the Irkutsk region? Whether дороговаты there will be trips and cost of the grown up potato and cucumbers?!

In this mailing in particular to be told:

"The Tomsk community вайшнавов begins building of own settlement in 18 km from Tomsk, in a place under the name of Kandinka, near to picturesque lake in the size of 4,5 km …. Here some of the purposes, which devoted put before themselves, creating the settlement:

1. To create conditions for high-grade dialogue in spiritual atmosphere.

2. To provide possibility of an earning of means of subsistence and business dealing, depending thus to a lesser degree on economic system карми, focused on operation. Thus that betrayed which not are ready to it will have a possibility to go in a city for work. Students can go for study.

3. REPEATEDLY to STRENGTHEN the SERMON to the SOCIETY, having social alternative and a real example of application of spiritual knowledge in practice. Now the sermon is ineffective, as people do not understand, how they will live with this knowledge in a materialistic environment.

4. To strengthen family foundations and to protect children from corrupting influence of Cali-jugi, to give the chance to children to grow in happy atmosphere of a community and to become high-grade persons ".

That is, under own plans кришнаитов, religious settlement essentially closed for external influence with expressed commercial and прозелитической an orientation and that guards – with the planned isolated education of children is created. That Enver Izmaylov perceives the sect as unique светоч "spirituality" on the Tomsk earth pays attention also.

In this letter Mr. Izmaylov has not dropped a word that all it is the social project intended for maintenance by habitation "needy" кришнаитов. But so he now crafty tries to move to pity the public in the justification of illegality of building поседения about Kandinki. And why "the social settlement" for "needy" кришнаитов to which "have no place to live", is registered as country partnership?

Also on one of sites Tomsk кришнаиты were praised by the plans this summer: "… Tomsk betrayed again are full of enthusiasm and plan to spend Kuli Melu-2010 in an under construction community near Tomsk". "Kuli of a chalk" who does not know, is international youth кришнаитский festival on which sectarians from all the CIS … gather

We know, the inhabitants who have written the letter with the protest against building of religious settlement of the Tomsk society of consciousness of Krishna, are deeply revolted by the answer of the chief of Department of culture of the Tomsk region of Andrey Kuzichkina. In it instead of support of the people to which is obliged to serve, it to please "the marginal destructive foreign sect which have appeared in the USA", began to intimidate and threaten with criminal punishment to authors of the letter ostensibly "for kindling of religious hatred". So, the official has written: "I Warn you that we will ask the public prosecutor of the Tomsk region to study attentively the test of the letter for the purpose of revealing of the moments of kindling social and religious break a set, and also to promote a non-admission of occurrence of similar letters".

According to inhabitants of Kandinki, "Andrey Kuzichkin has lost adequate understanding and an event, and the antinational actions, and there is a sense to raise the question before the governor about its professional suitability. This madness when" people's power ", instead of understanding and support threatens the people with punishment!".
