INCORPORATION OF ISKCON

By Mukunda Goswami

ISKCON (the International Society for Krishna Consciousness) was incorporated in New York City, in the State of New York in the US, on 13 July 1966, around 53 years ago. This first incorporation of ISKCON was executed at Srila Prabhupada’s behest – then known to his followers only as ‘Swamiji’ and to others as A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

The lawyer under whose aegis the fledgling movement was officially instituted was Mr Steven Goldsmith, an attendee at Srila Prabhupada’s Second Avenue lectures. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect Mr Goldsmith’s legal fees were low or non-existent.

One early (for me) morning in July of 1966, I was awakened and asked to sign papers pertaining to the incorporation of ISKCON. As a US citizen and resident, my signature appeared to be necessary.

Revatinandan Das

By Kunkuma Devi Dasi:
It’s with a heavy heart and blessings from his family that I want to tell everyone that last night December 16 at 11:45pm Hawaii time His Grace Revatinandan ( former Swami) passed away in Honolulu after a short illness which was diagnosed as lymph cancer. He was my partner for 5 years about 6 years after having been married to his first wife Pushpanjali Dasi and having a child Nila Chala Chandra das. He was first cousin to Vishnujana Swami who brought him to ISKCON in 1968. He has been living as a recluse alone many years on the south part of the island of Hawaii. His first wife was in touch with him and helped him through the last days. They were reluctant to send him to hospital but had no choice. His son Nila was on a telemedicine tv as he passed. So he was not alone. When Srila Prabhupada awarded him sannyas Prabhupada said, “ if you don’t succeed as sannyas then find yourself a good wife.”
As per the request from the family of Revatinandan das who passed on December 16 in Honolulu, they asked for this quote in his memory  “He reasons ill who tells that Vaisnavas die When thou art living still in sound! The Vaisnavas die to live, and living try To spread the holy name around!” (Bhaktivinode Thakur)
