This is true, I was speaking on relationships and social issues. Even a video went viral on Facebook. But I felt how much ever you speak end of the day I will never be happy. Infact a devotee who manages my website told me why dont you speak about Krishna. And I agreed and I am working on myself. And you cannot correct anything in this world without Krishna Consiousness, I thought let me improve my consiousness and speak of Krishna.

Prahlad Maharaj: "Because of their uncontrolled senses, persons too addicted to materialistic life make progress toward hellish conditions and repeatedly chew that which has already been chewed. Their inclinations toward Krsna are never aroused, either by the instructions of others, by their own efforts, or by a combination of both. Persons who are strongly entrapped by the consciousness of enjoying material life, and who have therefore accepted as their leader or guru a similar blind man attached to external sense objects, cannot understand that the goal of life is to return home, back to Godhead, and engage in the service of Lord Visnu. As blind men guided by another blind man miss the right path and fall into a ditch, materially attached men led by another materially attached man are bound by the ropes of fruitive labor, which are made of very strong cords, and they continue again and again in materialistic life, suffering the threefold miseries."

*"Satyam, truthfulness, means that facts should be presented as they are, for the benefit of others. Facts should not be misrepresented. According to social conventions, it is said that one can speak the truth only when it is palatable to others. But that is not truthfulness. The truth should be spoken in a straightforward way, so that others will understand actually what the facts are. If a man is a thief and if people are warned that he is a thief, that is truth. Although sometimes the truth is unpalatable, one should not refrain from speaking it. Truthfulness demands that the facts be presented as they are for the benefit of others. That is the definition of truth."* ~ BG 10.14 (Purport)

Very true, whenever I see iskcon preachers I always thought that they are just usual motivational speakers and not spiritual person .. they don't talk about shri krishna but talk in a general lucid manner which I think can be talked by anybody and so no need of calling somebody from iskcon...Even baba ramdev and arya samaj people have more clarity of thought regarding shri krishn and don't talk indirectly... They straight away give words and lesson of krishna ji instead of caring whether listener will feel good or not...

Sometimes, I also felt "PROUD" that I had controlled ny senses, but even that feeling of "Being proud" is also wrong thing. We are not always in Krishna consciousness, as we think we are.

Hare Krishna Prabhu! It is really impressive video. I send my humble obeisances to your elevated service. I would like to share my opinion regarding critics. I heard many people among my friends devotees who said that we should not criticize due to circumstances or that Krishna is merciful to anyone. But we have to be aware when should give critics and positive feedback is the way to improve ourselves. I have seen many people don't want to accept critics, when you are really wrong especially in spiritual life. Because as you said we cannot compromise, especially when it comes to following instructions of the spiritual master and scriptures. I am not at that platform like devotees in ISKM, but still I can see and feel who is good and bad association. Please allow me to give recent example here in your you tube channel with my spiritual life. I believe that everyone should be taught in Krishna consciousness in a proper manner and when you don't have support from senior vaishnavas it is so difficult to develop. I am a witness of so many deviations on the ashram where I go with my mother who is almost 6 years devotee and we always compare between what you do(devotees in ISKM) and what we do. Many changes in dates of celebrations, not serving prasadam in the right way and disobeying of Praphupad instructions, even wrong param para system. I am sorry to share this facts here and yes I am not on the platform like you or other vaishnava to do critics. I need to speak out and try to solve the problem. I heard recently phrase that in western world let say cannot have this kind of program like in ashrams in Far east, because people going to work and we have to adjust to reality, which means to compromise the spiritual life. So why we choose to follow Bhakti yoga, if we do so many changes according to our material life style. The same we have to use the knowledge and all activities directed in service of Krishna, according to instructions. I am really sorry that I have to share facts from my spiritual life and my purpose is not to blame or to glorify someone. We cannot accept everything which is contradiction of this written in BG and SB, otherwise this is blind following and it can destroy our mentality. I don't even want to blame Gaur Gopal Das, he is may be a good person, but his service I think is different and doesn't have relation with Bhakti and Krishna . So, yes we need critics if we want to become better and to do it in proper way, but not to tolerate the mistakes of the other, mostly the human stupidity. Thank you so much for the video and confident speech. I send my humble obeisances to Sundar Gopal Prabhu and all devotes in ISKM.

But we move on taking what is good because this happens with every organization that has grown so big.

[@subaladas7758]

Hare Kṛṣṇa prabhu, GGD is only the tip of the problem. The main problem lies with ISKCON gurus who disobeyed the orders of Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada did not appoint any Diksha (Initiating) guru for Iskcon. He came up with a system where he chose 11 of his disciples to give initiations on his behalf after his physical departure. Technically this is called Ritvik priest. However these disciples wanted to be guru and they wanted power, following and worship. Prabhupada's letters and will were hidden from the public by these people after he attained samadhi and they went on to exploit the innocent devotees. What happened next was many of these Gurus fell down from their position due to money, women, murder, child molestation and many criminal activities that even normal people do not commit. This is all in the internet with evidences.Anyone who questioned them were kicked out of Iskcon in the 1980s, at least 5000 devotees who had surrendered their lives to serve Prabhupada left. Currently more than 90 plus Gurus came from this devious voting system. They are not pure devotees and due to their disobedience at least 50 over gurus have officially fallen down from their position to lust. Just last Nov 2020 a Guru from South Africa resigned from his position to marry his disciple. Sastra says a Maha Bhagavata can never fall down to maya."When one has attained the topmost position of maha-bhagavata, he is to be accepted as a guru and worshiped exactly like Hari, the Personality of Godhead. Only such a person is eligible to occupy the post of a guru.” (Sri Caitanya-caritamtra, Madhya-lila, 24.330, purport)So if Iskcon Gurus are falling down they are definitely not on the Maha Bhagavata platform and if we take their guidance we will also not attain Lord Krishna. Fast forward to 1997 these hidden documents were exposed and our temple President H.G Sundar Gopal prabhu who is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada from 1976 made a bold stand against these Gurus requesting an answer but we were excommunicated from Iskcon. Under H.G Sundar Gopal prabhu's guidance we started ISKM to reestablish Srila Prabhupada as the sole Diksha Guru of Iskcon and we are trying our best world wide to help devotees come out of this mess created by these fake Gurus who have done a great disservice to the mission of Srila Prabhupada. Please watch the videos below to find out the truth. Ritvik A Bonafied System: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF7JgY2AZ7qfirM What is Iskm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIbdZol4Yq2BpMk And to come to your question on who to follow, just follow Prabhupada and the devotees who are repeating his messages and directing you towards him. In ISKM we give initiations based on this. You can still take initiations from Prabhupada despite him not being physical present. All these are covered in our video above Ritvik A bonafied system please go through this and you will be very clear.

But, there are other, or many, non-KC devotees, who speak on many things about life, but they will never tell you that you are not this body, that human life if very short, and that the purpose of human life is to prepare the soul for the time of death. This is from BG 2.13. Non-KC devotees will never tell you that. And how can you know who is non-KC devotee? It is one who is not afraid to live, but is afraid to die. All non-KC devotees are afraid to die. And GG seems also to be afraid to die, because he never speaks that, "You are not this body." This is the test of KC devotee.

Jai shree Krishna, I understand your thoughts n worry. 100% commitment and surrounder to lord is the key to all our human problems. I totally agree with you. As numerous living n non living being which exist in this cosmos, humans have the ability to connect to the creator of this cosmos. This ability can be manifested by 100% surrender to lord. With this manifestion humans can connect to the next dimensions. ( 14 lokas ). I get frequent dreams from my childhood , n in dreams I get to see the feature, I once asked lord why I am getting these dreams n he said in 14th century people lost faith in lord Krishna so I have shown to the world that lord Krishna is the super god by manifesting his picture on entire visible sky for people to start believing. BTW all this was in a dream. My recommendation to you is to forget about what someone has to say or doing focus your 100% time on dissolving in lords thoughts n you have bigger cause to attend to. Jai shree krishna.

This guy is clearly a radical. Even though I don't agree with everything that Gaur Gopal Das has to say he is really good at having a sensible conversation with newbies which may result into them following the next steps. However as a newbie if I ever came across this guy, I am pretty sure the conversation will result into a conflict. This guy comes from a position of winning the argument whereas GGD comes from a position of winning over the audience so that they can generate an inclination towards Krishna. Tbh, I don't really care who is right or wrong in here. The whole system of ISKCON seems messed up to me. Especially the system of Gurus in ISKCON. Their students don't coordinate with each other just because their gurus are different. There are also instances of blaspheming each other's gurus. Nowadays ISKCON seems more like a cult. I would rather serve Krishna as my God and accept Hanuman as my Guru. It is a much better option than engaging with any of these radicals from a once prestigious organization heading towards abyss.

[@asianstories4578]

I'm sorry u feel this way but i totally understand the sentiments given the image of in-fighting within the system. But I just want to let you know that this person is not from Iskcon as you know it today but follows the rtvik system which does NOT believe in any living guru and constantly seeks to criticise the current day ISKCON and calls itself ISKCON misleading many. I started out from a rtvik temple too(same one that the speaker is from) but left because I loved the philosophy and Krsna consciousness but they could not stop blaspheming every single thing. They were also anti-ISKCON. Thank goodness I found a more sustainable,loving and truthful place of worship, ISKCON which Prabhupad originally created(tattva vit would disagree lol). I'm just clarifying so you don't get the wrong idea of in-fighting when actually the rtviks such as tattva-vit the speaker, follows an entirely different system which is not ISKCON.

Hare Krishna prji, My humble obeisances. Its completely true indirect preaching is very dangerous. I like ur daring attitude. Its necessary seniors doesnt takes care of these things. HH Bhakti Vikas swami also preaches very directly. I like his lectures. But u said that Prabhupada wanted all the future devotees to be his desciples, but also SP asked his desciples to become spiritual master. Plz take the both ref and reconcile and then shoot a vedio. When SP desciples dont accept desciples how Parampara runs, we can see all other bonafide sampradayas also. Rithvik some time SP ordered his desciples to give initiation and also advised his desciples to become spiritual masters.

Here is a story for you - There was a diciple of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who was sincerely trying to follow the path of devotion. When he saw that during Kirtan all other disciples are shedding tears, while he can't, he became very sad. So from next day he started bringing chilly powder along with him and would put some of it in his eyes, during Kirtan, and that would bring tears in his eyes. The other disciple saw this, and considering it to be a deceitful behaviour, complained to Mahaprabhuji. Mahaprabhuji called the first disciple who was doing so and asked him, in front of the second disciple, if what the other one said is true. The first disciple said, "Yes, that is true. I do so, because, as instructed by you, other disciples shed the tears during kirtan. But my heart is so hard, that even after trying hard, I am not able to develop the sentiments for Krishna, and thus shed tears. However, due to this I would be disrespecting you, my Guru, as I am not following your instructions. That's why I use this chilly powder to shed tears, so that at least I would be able to somehow follow your instructions". Mahaprabhuji embraced this first disciple, and scolded the other disciple saying - who told you to keep a watch on other disciples. Do you come here for doing kirtan, or keep a watch on others. The message is, unless one realizes God himself, he cannot make out what level of devotee the other person is. Unknowingly, the person might make a grave offence by trying to find faults in a fellow devotee, and thus risk his own position. What you see is your perspective. There could be some other perspective, which you might not be thinking of. Eg. People who have no interest at all in devotion, might not listen to you if you talk about Krishna, but by telling them what they can relate to, you might be able to get their attention and then as they associate with you more and more, they might gradually get into devotion.

Don't try to judge him simply because of his way of speaking. Don't compare him with Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Let him do his own job, he is serving Krishna through his own way, millions are being inspired by him. Srila Prabhupada's position was different. You could have personally spoke to him, but no you didn't.....He is atleast not a Hippocrate that's why he accepted his mistake.....

[@alexandrearaujo9201]

Hare krishna prabhu. While I do not doubt your good intentions with these video I am also reminded that, as Iskcon members, we are followers of Srila Prabhupada. Despite seeing that many of his Godbrothers were not following Srila Bhaktisiddhanta's instructions, he was 100% focused on spreading his guru's mission. My humble sugestion is that instead of making videos pointing the possible faults of others, create videos about the unlimited qualities of Krishna and his pure devotees. At the end of the day, the process is individual and only Krishna knows the level of advancement of each person. Prabhupada once said to devotees that if they do not agree with the way things are done, they should do them better and teach others by example. Your humble servant, VKD

[@1SuperMind]

Most of Srila Prabhupada's preaching was about the faults of materialistic so-called civilization and the rebellious jivas who do not want to return back home back to Godhead. The unlimited qualities of Krishna and his pure devotees are already there in Srila Prabhupada and his books.

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

I think that GGD is a disgrace to our parampara, because he is obscuring the essence of spiritual life, acting as an entertainer and providing "worldly wisdom". He is just denying Srila Prabhupada who (for example) said the following: "(...) Our process is to show Krsna consciousness as it is, not as others want to see it. (...) It is not that we should change to accommodate the public, but that we should change the public to accommodate us.... These books are the best advertising, they are better than advertising. If we simply present Krsna consciousness in a serious and attractive way, without need to resort to fashionable slogans or tricks, that is sufficient. Our unique asset is our purity. No one anywhere can match it. That will be noticed eventually and appreciated, as long as we do not diminish or neglect the highest standard of purity in performing our routine work, not that we require to display or announce ourselves in very clever ways to get attention. No, our pure standard is enough. Let us stand on that basis." (Letter to Yogesvara, Bombay 28/12/1971) "(...) these things should be stopped. Simply perform our kirtan. If we divert our attention in this way, the whole thing will gradually deteriorate. He is going far away. All these things are nonsense inventions. Such inventing spirit will ruin our this movement. People may come to see, some will become devotees, but such devotees will not stay because they are attracted by some show and not by the real thing or spiritual life according to the standard of Lord Chaitanya. (...) Gradually the Krishna Consciousness idea will evaporate: another change, another change, every day another change. Stop all this. Simply have kirtan, nothing else. Don't manufacture ideas." (Letter to Sudama, Vrndavana 05/11/1972 ) "(...) We are Hari Kirtana men, that's all. We can attract people by some gorgeous show, but inside there must be strict purity and seriousness, otherwise, we shall be attracted by the gorgeous show only. There are two energies always working simultaneously, and Maya means when we diminish the spiritual energy, then automatically we become attracted to the external dress of Maya."

I like the castless and varnaless modern Hinduism or perhaps the ancient Hinduism. Whats your view on it. Some people say non vedic Hinduism is real Hinduism as it does not have caste or varna elements. Please provide your view on this.

The abuse of the actual merit-based varṇāśrama system designed by Kṛṣṇa is often quoted as the caste system that we know. It is a twisted version of the original system set up by Kṛṣṇa. In Bhagavad-gītā 4.13, Kṛṣṇa says He had designed the varṇāśrama system for the scientific organization of human society. This birth-based caste system is a nonsense that is going on India, and it certainly doesn't make any sense. You may refer to Bhagavad-gītā 18.42, 18.43, 18.44 for the qualities by which the varṇas are classified. You can access the Bhagavad-gītā online at prabhupada.io/books/bg
