My appeal to Shri Narendra Modi Ji and to all of you

श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी और सभी से मेरा अपील। धन्यवाद!

Namaste to everyone!

I would like to tell you all about the situation happening here. I know that people who follow me on my various social sites are more or less informed about it. I would like to gain your moral support in the light of recent events. As you know, I have been living in Moscow, Russia with my family for the greater portion of my life. I have always tried my best to communicate to people about India and its culture, and have given a lot of love to the people and received love and respect back from them. For 25 years we lived a peaceful life, our work saw progress, and more people, not only from Russia but from other European countries as well, started to learn about Sanatana Dharma and follow its values.

But for the past two years I am being disturbed by a person with radical views called A.L Dvorkin. He has a history of troubling various other religious groups as well. He is the same person who burned our holy book Gita a couple of years ago, and many people in India might have heard about this in the news. After the governments of both countries had a conversation, and President Putin interfered himself, the situation cooled off a little bit. In reality, A.L. Dvorkin still hasn't stopped with his misdeeds, insulting me and my religion constantly.

As more Russian disciples began to come to me, they would discuss this matter with me, so I thought about requesting Dvorkin and co. to stop with their activities, since we consider Krishna an avatar, and he is deeply revered in our country. I protested, and because of that he went after me. He started to pour dirt on me on the blog writing under various nicknames, so I filed a case against his blog in the court. But the court closed this case after issuing a verdict according to which they have the freedom to express their opinion. He employs various methods to disturb me. He sent a car once with a journalist and some of his radical associates to my center situated out of Moscow. This prompted us to file a petition, and those of you who follow me on Facebook or twitter might know about this. My family and I have been tolerating his threats these past two years, but that does not deter us from our fight.

I have been brought up to follow the right path and to never be afraid of anyone; my faith and my family have taught me this. We have been fighting against this man these past two years. He still hasn't found any evidence against me. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India, and the Embassy of India in Moscow know about this. I think that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi knows about this as well, since we had passed the copy of the petition to him, but couldn't meet him personally because of his busy routine. If we had met that time, I would have surely told him about this issue in more detail.

I don't have any inclination toward radical views when it comes to religion, that's not in my nature. People from different faiths come to me. I must say, that during this time of struggle for us, the Muslim community and our Muslim brothers and sisters have shown their support for us in this cause. Moreover, a good portion of followers of Orthodox Christianity have also lent their support. But there are many radical groups, who surely have some power behind them, that think that my stay in Russia is somehow not good for the Orthodox Church. That is the main reason behind this lowly religious politics.

My birthplace is India, and India is the root of my faith as well. The Santana dharma spread to the rest of the world from there, and I am a part of it. Therefore, I ask for support from the followers of Santana Dharma and other faiths who believe in religious harmony and brotherhood. I also ask the official bodies of India, whether it be the Prime Minister and his cabinet, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pay attention to this issue and work on removing the content of the blog defaming Hinduism that is being spread by A.L. Dvorkin. This would reap good results for sure, since he has been searching for any type of evidence against me from various people for the past two years. Now he is using his connections to disturb me through governmental structures.

For example, two days earlier he had sent, what we presume was the police, to our center out of Moscow and our home where my family lives in Moscow for some checking. After the verification they said they were sorry for disturbing us, because they didn't find any questionable materials, so they asked us to come to their office to write an explanatory statement. Since my lawyer wasn't with me at the time I went with some of my disciples. You will be surprised to know, that when we were sitting in the office a man barged into the room and started saying that Russia is an orthodox country, there is no place for any other religion here, and that our faith will not be tolerated. I have these words recorded. So these types of things have been happening recently.

I have great faith in God, and this faith has given me the strength to fight these elements alone in a country where Christianity is the most widespread religion, and Hinduism is a minority. Indians are in a very less number in Russia. Even then, my faith in God and the love that I have received from people have allowed me to continue my work throughout this time. But I need the support from the people of my birthplace as well. You have always supported me on my social sites, be it twitter or Facebook, and I hope that you will be with me on this journey in the future as well, because it will give me the strength to keep fighting for the good cause. Santana dharma is something that many people here like and show an interest in, and there are more people supporting us than the opposite. Therefore, the actions of a group of people will not sever the ties of friendship that these two countries have historically shared. They will surely remain friendly nations in the future, and I will try my best to contribute for this.

But A.L. Dvorkin, who throws insult after insult on Krishna, our Gods and Goddesses, tries to defame Hinduism by calling it a sect and a terrible religion, is not someone who I am willing to tolerate. I am ready to fight for my cause, and the powers who stand behind him no matter what they are. I am not going to return to India in fear of him or because of him disturbing me. India is my home, it is my birthplace and I am always happy to visit it. I need your support for this, and this is my appeal to you. I've lived here a long time, and this period is proving to be quite hard for us. I especially appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, because the only solution to this problem is when Narendra Modi Ji will directly contact President Putin on this issue, because both of them know about this situation. Ministry of Foreign Affairs alone is not enough to solve this case, because there are some powerful elements behind A.L. Dvorkin, who are following their own agenda.

I had made a video appeal to President Putin yesterday asking him to pay attention to this issue, and requested him to work on removing this blog, because it is the main source which Dvorkin uses to spread the lies in different directions. As long as this content is allowed to exist, his misdeeds will never come to a halt. I would also like to take this moment to express my gratitude to the Ambassador of India to Moscow, the Consular, and Gen. V.K. Singh, who is someone I can always count on to call and gain support. I think that Shrimati Sushma Swaraj is aware about this case as well, and I hope that all of them together will work something out on a governmental level, since they know a lot more about it. This will definitely help in solving this problem, and I will be very grateful to them. It will be very good to know, that even those who represent Hinduism abroad get the help from the government of their country.

We'll have to work together to strengthen Santana Dharma not only in India, but in the rest of the world as well. Thank you for listening, and I will keep informing you about the development of this case in the future. Thank you once again! Namaskar!
