PISMO GBC-JEV SLOVENSKIM BHAKTAM - Prahladananda Svami in Bir Krišna Gosvami o situaciji v Novem Joga Pithu in slovenskem ISKCON-u.
prosim, sprejmite najine pozdrave in blagoslove Gospoda Krišne. Vsa slava Šrila Prabhupadi!
Upava, da to pismo prejmete zdravi ter zadovoljni v zavesti Krišne.
Nekaj bhakt naju je prosilo, naj podava svoj pogled na trenutno stanje slovenske jatre. Rada bi ovrgla razne govorice ter podala navodila v zvezi s tem.
Kot GBC-ja nadaljujeva s skupnim delom v službi Šrila Prabhupadovega poslanstva. Že petdeset let sva prijatelja. Čeprav imava včasih različne poglede, na prvem mestu ostaja najino prijateljstvu ter skupno poslanstvo služenju Šrila Prabhupadu in Gospodu Krišni.
Že več let opazujeva, da sta tempelj Novi Yoga Pith in slovenska jatra stabilna ter da se lepo razvijata. Za slovensko jatro so značilni mnogo dosežki. Med drugim se ji pridružuje mnogo novih bhakt, ki služijo in napredujejo v duhovnem življenju. Tu so tudi redni nedeljski programi in festivali. Lepo potekajo tudi drugi pomembni programi kot so izobraževanje, redni harinami, deljenje knjig, čaščenje Božanstev ter kongregacijske sange.
Seveda bi lahko marsikaj še dodatno izboljšali ter tako okrepili stabilnost ter povezanost skupnosti in jo še bolj uskladili z željami Šrila Prabhupade in Gospoda Čajtanje Mahaprabhuja. Izboljšali bi lahko na primer transparentnost financ ter sestavo in uporabo nekaterih delov statuta. Ampak ISKCON Slovenija je kljub temu ena najboljše vodenih skupnosti v Evropi.
Vsakršne pristne skrbi in težave moramo reševati v pozitivni luči sodelovanja ob upoštevanju ISKCON-ovega sistema avtoritete in vajšnavske etikete.
Izvedela sva, da je nekaj bhakt, ki so kritični do sedanjega vodstva Noveg Joga Pitha, svoje zamisli in skrbi izrazilo celo preko družbenih omrežjih. Verjameva, da so nekateri njihovi predlogi in skrbi morda na mestu, vendar bi morali biti predstavljeni preko pravilnih kanalov ter v duhu sodelovanja in na konstruktiven način.
Dear Slovenian devotees,
ISKCON is managed according to the authority structure established by Srila Prabhupada. Thus in making decisions, intelligent and Krishna conscious suggestions by thoughtful and cooperative devotees are welcomed.
There is a great future for New Joga Pitha Temple and ISKCON Slovenia. There are many senior and mature devotees and many new ones who can contribute their knowledge, wisdom and experience to the development of the yatra. The central point is to serve and please Srila Prabhupada.
Dear devotees, in conclusion, try to please and cooperate with your authorities and amongst each other. Although there might be some differences amongst us, we are all servants in Srila Prabhupada’s and Krishna's family. We should not fight amongst ourselves. Srila Prabhupada said that our movement can be destroyed only from within, so let us not harm but take good care of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON.
It is our privilege and duty to help the suffering people of Slovenia by distributing Lord Krishna’s transcendental message and also to provide them with a warm, welcoming and inspiring devotee association.
Hare Krishna!

Izvedela sva, da je nekaj bhakt, ki so kritični do sedanjega vodstva Noveg Joga Pitha, svoje zamisli in skrbi izrazilo celo preko družbenih omrežjih. Verjameva, da so nekateri njihovi predlogi in skrbi morda na mestu, vendar bi morali biti predstavljeni preko pravilnih kanalov ter v duhu sodelovanja in na konstruktiven način.
Razreševanje organizacijskih in medosebnih težav mora potekati skladno z učenji in zgledom Šrila Prabhupade. Izogibati se moramo deljenju na skupine, uničenim odnosom, žalitvam Vajšnavam in vsemu, kar škoduje duhovni rasti skupnosti bhakt.
Vsem bhaktam polagava na srce, naj podprejo naše poslanstvo z resno sadhano, vključevanjem v tempeljske službe, služenjem bhaktam ter deljenjem zavesti Krišne. Potrebno se je izogibati vsem vrstam neprimernega kritiziranja in opravljanja.
Pred štirimi leti smo vzpostavili Sango vodij ISKCON-a Slovenije (SVIS). Pooblastila sva tudi sedanji Svet Novega Joga Pitha. Tako SVIS kot Svet NJP imata najino polno podporo. To leto se sedanjemu Svetu NJP izteče mandat. Do takrat vse bhakte v skupnosti pozivava, naj sodelujejo s sedanjimi člani Sveta ter jih podpirajo. Šele po izteku trenutnega mandata lahko pride do sprememb v vodstvu. Takrat lahko primerni bhakte predlagajo nove člane Sveta. Prahladananda Svami bo nato na podlagi sedanjega statuta in ISKCON-ovega zakonika v imenu lokalnih GBC-jev sprejel dokončne odločitve.
ISKCON-ovo vodstvo je osnovano na strukturi avtoritete, ki jo je podal Šrila Prabhupada. Pri sprejemanju odločitev so dobrodošli razumni in Krišne zavestni predlogi s strani bhakt, ki so razmišljujoči in želijo sodelovati.
Tempelj New Yoga Pitha in ISKCON Slovenije v prihodnosti čakajo velike stvari. Premoreta namreč mnogo naprednih in zrelih bhakt, pa tudi novincev, ki lahko s svojim znanjem, modrostjo in izkušnjami pomagajo pri razvoju jatre. Osrednja poanta je služiti in zadovoljiti Šrila Prabhupado.
Dragi bhakte, za zaključek bi vas rada pozvala, da poskušate zadovoljiti in sodelovati tako z nadrejenimi kot eden z drugim. Čeprav morda obstajajo nekatere razlike med nami, smo vsi služabniki Šrila Prabhupadove in Krišnove družine. Ni prav, da se borimo med sabo. Šrila Prabhupada je dejal, da naše gibanje lahko uničijo samo notranja trenja. Poskrbimo torej, da ne bomo škodovali Šrila Prabhupadovemu ISKCON-u in lepo skrbimo zanj.
Naš privilegij in dolžnost je, da z deljenjem duhovnega sporočila Gospoda Krišne pomagamo trpečim prebivalcem Slovenije in da jim priskrbimo toplo, prijetno in navdihujočo družbo bhakt.
Hare Krišna!

OPOMBA: V mesecu Juniju je naš GBC Prahladananda Svami začel z osebnimi razgovori z manjšimi skupinami bhakt, z namenom prisluhniti smiselnim in dobronamernim predlogom glede razvoja in vodenja skupnosti, ter da bi se tudi osebno srečeval in spoznaval z bhaktami. Vsi zaniteresirani bhakte nam lahko pišete na svs.nyp@gmail.com. Več o tem v prihodnjem tednu.

Dear Slovenian devotees,
Please accept our greetings and the blessings of Lord Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
We hope that this letter finds you healthy and happy in Krishna Consciousness. Some devotees have requested that we explain our vision of the current situation of Slovenian Yatra. We would like to dispel any rumors, and give our guidance about these topics.
First we as GBCs continue to work cooperatively in service to Srila Prabhupada’s mission. We have been friends for fifty years. Although we sometimes have some differences of opinions, those are secondary to our friendship and common mission to serve Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna.
We have seen over the years that the New Yoga Pitha Temple and the Slovenian Yatra are stable and have been developing nicely. There are many accomplishments that characterize the Slovenian yatra such as new devotees joining, serving and progressing in spiritual life. There are also regular Sunday programs and festivals. Other important programs such as educational programs, regular harinams and book distribution, Deity worship and congregational sangas are all going on nicely.
Of course many things could be further improved to make the community more stable, united and aligned according to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s desires. Areas of improvement could include more transparency of financial reporting and upgrading and implementation of parts of the Statutes. But nevertheless, looking from a broader perspective, ISKCON Slovenia is one of the better managed communities in Europe.
Following the ISKCON authority system and Vaishnava etiquette, whatever genuine concerns and issues there are, should be worked out in a positive and cooperative manner.
We have been informed that some devotees critical of the present NYP leadership, have expressed some of their ideas and concerns even on social media. We appreciate that some of their suggestions and concerns might be valid, but they should be presented through the proper channels in a cooperative and constructive way.
Resolving organizational and interpersonal issues should be done according to Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and example. We should avoid polarization, broken relationships, offenses to Vaishnavas and anything detrimental to the devotee community's spiritual growth.
We strongly advise all the devotees to try to positively support the mission by seriously practicing their sadhana, engaging in services in the temple and devotee community and reaching out to people to share Krishna Consciousness. All inappropriate criticism and rumors should be avoided.
Four years ago, we established the ISKCON Slovenia Leadership Sanga (SVIS). We also authorized the current New Yoga Pitha Council. Both have our full support. This year the NYP Council will end its mandate. Until then we urge the devotee community to cooperate with and support the present NYP Council members. After that changes could be made in the leadership. Eligible devotees can make recommendations for new Council members. Prahladananda Swami, according to the present Statutes and ISKCON Law, on behalf of the local GBCs, will make the decisions.
