A very cosy relationship

The attached report is just one of the many reasons why the ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Manor management want it's congregation to sign their CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT.
As per the said document, Buckland Project Ltd is the company that manages Buckland Hall.
One can view the activities at Buckland Hall at www.bucklandhall.co.uk.
It is quite clear that those involved sell alcohol.
If you are not convinced... look for the bar on the floor plan… or the celebratory wine list.
Buckland Hall is known for the seminars conducted there by ISKCON Gurus… (at a price, that is.)
Let us retrace our steps to the directors and shareholders of the Buckland Project Ltd.
Those familiar with names and faces around ISKCON's Bhaktivedanta Manor may no doubt recognise a few.
Included in the list are a number of Bhaktivedanta Manor patrons… what to speak of initiated devotees.
The foremost name to jump off the list is that of Buckland Project Ltd Director and Company Secretary....
William John Martin Fleming
aka Akhundadhi das... former Temple President of Bhaktivedanta Manor.
Akhundadhi das is now a consultant to Bhaktivedanta Manor.
According to Bhaktivedanta Manor manager Sitarama das, Akhundadhi das is a member of the "Bhaktivedanta Manor visionary team".
Akundadhi das also recently went mountaineering up the Kilimanjaro with the present Bhaktivedanta Manor Temple President, Sruti dharma das, and financial director Prana bhandu das.
We have also been told that for the last 3 years, Akhundadhi das has been the boss of Gauri das.
We can note that while Akhundadhi das was the Bhaktivedanta Manor Temple President,
Sruti dharma das, Prana bhandu das, Sitarama das and Gauri das, then Gudakesa das... all worked under him.
Another Buckland Hall director is involved in the I Foundation… (Google them at leisure).
These are the same Bhaktivedanta Manor people involved in promoting the Hindu school.
While we could write about the other various individuals concerned, we leave it up to our readers to spot who is who.
I counted at least 4 initiated devotees, what to speak of Bhaktivedanta Manor patrons… or both.
So... what's next?
