In response to “A Reply to Rupanuga’s Article” by RAMESVARA DASA, published on Mar 23, 2013 — NEW YORK, USA by Sampradaya Sun —
If Rameswara was ever a BBT Trustee, then when I was in litigation with ISKCON / BBT International, Inc. (the bogus BBT that illegally converted the assets of Prabhupasda’s trust into their “For profit” corporation BBT International, Inc.), why when they attempted to bring Rameswara for testimony as an expert witness, claiming he had credentials as a legally appointed BBT for-life Trustee by Srila Prabhupada, he (Rameswara) could produce no legally acceptable BBT document supporting his claim as a legal BBT Trustee? And none have been produced since that time, about 15 years to date.
The court found that he had no standing, no position as a BBT Trustee legally appointed by the trust, filed by Srila Prabhupada, or added since the original filing. Rameswara was subsequently DISMISSED BY THE COURT and excluded from testifying in that case.

Ramesvara operated BBT as ISKCON dba “BBT”, meaning BBT was a registered fictitious business name for ISKCON. If that’s not a shell, then what is? We also have to thank Ramesvara for publishing the first revised Bhagavad-gita As It Is, while he boycotted Hansadutta’s reprinting of the 1972 MacMillan edition. And not only was Ramesvara not a BBT trustee, he also proved not to be so “lily white”. He knows better than anyone that he was never guru material. So what does he have to say about Srila Prabhupada’s instructions with regard to initiating? I’m referring to the July 9th, 1977 directive. Or does Ramesvara harbor an ambition to get back into the ISKCON guru club?

Here is one of many examples: Srila Prabhupada wrote a letter to me dated May 26, 1976. In the last paragraph His Divine Grace wrote: “I am sending a copy of this letter to Jayatirtha and Bhagavan to discuss this matter. Since you are all BBT Trustees, you can discuss and come up with some idea how this can be done. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami”
I suppose this was just Prabhupada giving us “honorary titles”?
I beg to remain your aspiring servant,
