Ž.Užkuraitis, who founded the Gaudiya Vaisnava religious community, explains that the idea of ”sovereigns” originated in Vedic philosophy.
It affirms that man is free and that his only superior is God. Based on Vedic philosophy, the founder of a religious community began to explain that members of the community need a document indicating that they are people.
As a result, the community he founded began distributing documents called the Sovereign Certificate and Human Passport.
Those who wish to receive them must transfer € 65 per adult and € 14 for each minor to whom these cards will be issued to the account of the Gaudiya Vaisnava Religious Community.
The law does not apply
According to Ž.Užkuraitis, the laws are valid only for citizens, and the “sovereign” certificates issued by him are intended for individuals.
According to the founder of the religious community, after acquiring these certificates, they no longer become “citizens” and “individuals”, but rather “persons”.
This means that they are not subject to the laws of the country, only the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and optionally the Constitution of Lithuania, if applicable.

And citizens and people are subject to laws, obligations and responsibilities.
Despite anarchist views, Ž.Užkuraitis submitted an application to the Ministry of Justice in October 2019 to establish a religious community.
Although it does not have legal personality, it is registered as a legal entity in the Registration Center “Gaudiya Vaisnava Religious Community” and since October 2019 it has also registered the status of beneficiary.
The statutes submitted to the Registry Center and the Ministry of Justice state that “the community is governed by the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania and the Law on Religious Communities and Associations of the Republic of Lithuania. , and other legal acts ”.
Dahlia “paragraph”
Another document distributed by the founder of a religious community is the Human Passport.
According to Ž.Užkuraitis, it is necessary that “a person is the owner of his own legal boat”.
Such a passport would allow “free navigation between states”, but it is necessary to inform the embassies of the world about the existence of “legal ships”.
According to Ž.Užkuraitis, 471 people joined the initiative and bought the documents distributed by him. All have been included in a list that organizers say they have sent to 131 embassies around the world.
According to Ž.Užkuraitis, the name of the passport comes from the word “passport”. People are valued by the law of the sea.
According to him, one of the meanings of the word “pass” means to move goods, and here the word “port” means port. This means that all passport holders have assets in ports and that these “assets” must be vaccinated and otherwise regulated to avoid damage.
The law applies to everyone
According to Indrė Isokaitė-Valužė, Associate Professor at Vilnius University (VU) Law School, Doctor of Law, even religious communities should not distance themselves from reality or declare that the laws of the country do not apply to them.
“There seems to be no shortage of diverse movements and groups of people, both in the international context and at the national level. We just have to be close to reality and realize that things like citizenship, passport, travel documents are a state competence that is related to the exercise of state sovereignty. Therefore, it is definitely not up to private groups to share such “documents,” “explained the legal specialist.
“There is a common logic to say that some kind of card or paper, whatever it is, would allow you to travel or break the law,” he said.
According to I.Isokaitė-Valužė, it is impossible that the certificates distributed by D.Užkuraitis can be released from the obligation to comply with the laws of the country.
“All associations, movements and political parties operating in Lithuania are subject to laws regulating their activities. There is no such possibility: proclaim yourself outside the law. Even more so in the Penal Code that even ignorance of the law does not exempt him from responsibility. There is no such possibility of ignoring the law of the country where we live ”, commented the lawyer.
Letters to the Presidency and the SSD
Ž.Užkuraitis does not lack ingenuity to motivate you to acquire the documents it offers. An active opponent of vaccines declares that the “sovereign” will have the right to refuse the supposedly mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 and will not be able to perform the test.
The Gaudiya Vaisnava community sent their approach to vaccination in official letters to the Office of the President, the Government, the ministries and even the Department of Homeland Security (SSD).
The Public Administration Law providesthat even the ministries and state institutions that have received the strangest letters must respond to the interested parties within the prescribed period of 20 working days.
It is true that Ž.Užkuraitis tends to address the SSD’s response that the department is informed about the attitude of the Gaudi Vaisnava community towards vaccination.
Valio. Their sovereign cards are VSD-enabled. Do you feel the weight? ”The founder of the community rejoiced in the social network Facebook.

VSD representative Egle Samoškaitė 15 minutes confirmed that the SSD had not enabled any “sovereign” card in that letter.
“Not at all. As you can see, the letter indicates that the information provided in the applicant’s application has been consulted,” reads the comment sent by the representative.
Fool the followers
Saulius Domarkas, Public Relations Representative of the Lithuanian Krishna Consciousness Community 15 minutes confirmed that the Gaudiya Vaisnava Religious Community does indeed spread the ideas of Krishna, but it has nothing to do with the Krishna consciousness communities registered in Lithuania.
“Žilvinas Užkuraitis was a member of the Kėdainiai Krishna Community of Consciousness, but he came out of it strongly and founded his own community,” said a representative of the Krishna Consciousness Society about the beginning of Ž.Užkuraitis’ pastoral activity.
Photo by Erik Ovcharenko / 15min / People who are familiar with the values cherished by the religious community of Krishna consciousness often call Eastern Krishna Christians because both Christianity and communal philosophy promote love of God and neighbor.
According to S. Domarkas, “Gaudiya Vaisnavas” is a generic name that unites many Krishna communities, and none of them is registered with such a resounding name.
“In this case, D.Užkuraitis is deceiving the Krishna community. People who belong to the Krišnosa consciousness community think it is their common name and do not know that it is a separate religious community that they do not really belong to.” lamented the interlocutor.
According to him, the “sovereigns” have nothing to do with Krishna’s teachings, but this does not prevent D. Užkuraitis from trusting the scriptures when sending letters to the ministries.
“I read the text that D.Užkuraitis sent to the Ministry of Justice. There a scripture was quoted that does exist, only that its applicability in current life is limited. It states that” all but the Brahmins and Vaisnavas submit to the authority of the king. “D.Užkuraitis refers to this text several thousand years ago, demanding that the laws of the state not apply to a group of people who belong to his community. It is clearly funny,” explained Domarkas.
“K bendšnosa consciousness admits of no such thing. We support the constitutional order, the laws of the state. If we do not agree with something, we fight it by legal means, but not with such statements, “added the community representative.
15 minutes He managed to get in touch with Ž.Užkuraitis, but stated that he would not speak to the editorial staff and that he wished for bankruptcy and the court.
