Mumbai Rowdy's Attack On #ISKCON | Srila Prabhupada | Animation Film | HG Maha Vishnu Dasa

Mr. Mahadevia phoned Bal Thackeray, a staunch Hindu and the founder and leader of the Shiv Sena, one of Bombay’s most powerful political parties, and told him what was happening. If he did not intervene, Mr. Mahadevia told him, the temple would be destroyed and he would get a bad name.

Bal Thackeray phoned the municipal commissioner, informed him of what was taking place, and told him to stop the demolition. The municipal commissioner, being part of the clique that had conspired against the temple, objected, but Bal Thackeray warned him, “Just remember who this city belongs to.”

“Okay, Balasaheb, okay,” the commissioner said, and he called the local ward, which had dispatched the attackers, and told them to halt the demolition.

The ward officer himself came running, reached the site just as the workers were getting ready to dismantle the Deity chamber, and ordered them to stop. They had already completely destroyed the darshanmandapa (viewing area) and had removed the first few pieces of the roof covering the Deities.
