Dear Stuart and all other Devotees, Please understand that my current Facebook Pages, including my Jhansi League of Devotees Facebook Page do NOT represent what the revived League of Devotees will be. The League of Devotees will NOT be associated with the sectarian missions or extraneous goals or devotional service of any other organizations, institutions or missions, no matter how praise-worthy. Once I launch the consecrated, official League of Devotees Facebook Page, it will not even be affiliated with any of my other ministries. The current Jhansi League of Devotees Facebook Page is only my working page to familiarize others with the history of the League of Devotees Mission, and to start to create a community of Devotees who may ultimately want to take-up the Non-Sectarian Mission of the League. I have been formally anointed by Dr. Acharya Prabhakar Mishra and Dr. Rup Lal Batra to carry the Global League Mission in their names and the names of their Acharyas, Srila Prabhupada and Mahatma Gandhi. Dr. Mishra and Dr. Lal Batra were best Friends and close personal Disciples of Srila Prabhupada and Mahatma Gandhi. Most ISKCON-related Gaudiya Vaishnavas have been mis-led to disrespect Mahatma Gandhi, who was actually a great Vaishnava Acharya who taught his disciples, including Srila Prabhupada (in his youth) basically the same Sadhana that Srila Prabhupada ended-up teaching us, his own Disciples. Dr. Mishra and Dr. Lal Batra both personally kept these same standards and practices as the ideal of their life-long INTER-BHAKTI NON-SECTARIAN MISSIONS. In our long collaboration, trying to understand Gods desired Dharmic formula for His Global Non-Sectarian Hari Nama Sankirtan Movement, as we saw history unfolding, we realized more and more why certain campaigns never worked as desired and why others spontaneously succeeded. As an historian of World religions and civilizations, I specialized in the study of both the continuity of religious and other traditions of exclusivistic initiation and in the inclusivism of religious and other (political, tribal, linguistic etc.) alliances, leagues or federations. I also studied far-reaching and AGE DEFINING social movements. In the religious field CHARISMATIC HOLY NAME MOVEMENTS throughout history were the most astonishingly powerful up-lifters of all humanity. What ignited these Holy Name Movements? What kept spreading their inspirational heat and light, and, what finally put their fire out? Dr. Mishra and Dr. Lal Batra lived-through the Era of Gandhis LONG and quite successful Satyagraha Sankirtan Movement, the Missionary activity of the Gaudiya Math, the years of the original Jhansi League of Devotees Mission and their own efforts under the flag of their Universal Sanatana Dharma Foundation. They watched as ISKCON went from a Charismatic non-sectarian Mission, a real social MOVEMENT to being a hyper SECTARIAN and estranged branch of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. They experienced the impossibility of properly establishing the League under British-related business law in India, and told me about how the Communist and Muslim related politics of India was completely hostile to Vaishnavism. Thus they were adamant that Srila Prabhupada was right concerning the Global necessity to establish the League in America, which Srila Prabhupada saw as the one place where such a Global headquarters might be able to flourish without such Communist and Muslim influenced interference. Still when we tried to set-up our first efforts to re-found the League here, they saw the failure of our own efforts, due to the same British-related mundane BUSINESS LAW here, as in Colonial British India. Thus our previous efforts to re-organize the League of Devotees with its World Headquarters here in the USA also failed, but we did not stop trying. Now I have understood what must be done to free the CHARISMAtic spiritual force of Sri Sri Gaura-Nitais NON-SECTARIAN HARI NAMA SANKIRTAN MOVEMENT from the shackles of both sectarianism and institutionalization. For decades I have been studying the relevant law, social order, schism dynamics, diffusion of innovations and applied theology and I have observed what works and what does not work. I have seen what ennobles and empowers people and what debases and weakens them. All of this, with the Heavenly Help of my Gurus has led me to the decisions that I have now made. So, I ask you all, my Dear Friends, to please be patient with me as I struggle to express and implement these conclusive decisions. The Re-Incarnate League will be a completely non-institutional free association that is transcendental-to any other organization on Earth and inclusive-of every soul willing to embrace its Non-Sectarian Sattvic Ideals and simple activities. Actually you cannot imagine what it will be from this description, so please do not make assumptions and just wait for the Official League Facebook Page to manifest. When it does it will be extremely simple, short and sweet, with no SECTARIAN DOGMA and no hard and fast rules for calling on the All-Loving and All-Lovable Lord of All, and Our Holy Mother! Hare Krishna! Hare Rama!
