Read the letter of appointment by Srila Prabhupada where He states Nobody is qualified to take initiates, the devotees can initiate ONLY on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. This is so wrong.

[@Techumsa]

There is only 1 guru in Iskcon, His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, everyone else are servants of the Acarya. In Srila Prabhupada's presence, that was not the case. The GBC is always changing the system to stay in power. Women are now the majority in Iskcon. Only an Uttama Adhikari is qualified to deliver a person due to their qualification, are there any Uttama Adhikaris in the society?

hare krishna in three words: trinad api sunicena

Right, male Hare Krishna leaders actually destroyed Prabhupada's mission in the West so it only can get better now. The end of the slump seemed to have been reached.

[@Techumsa]

The mission hasn't been destroyed at all, it's still going on, as long as these devotees are acting as if they are Uttama Adhikaris then they will fall because they aren't qualified.

@@Techumsa For educated circles Western Vaishnavism crashed. "Ideological conflict over the behavior of Prabhupada's successors and the basis of organizational authority caused large numbers of devotees to abandon ISKCON's communities in North America, western Europe, and other locations worldwide. Because, in most cases, those disaffiliating remained committed to their Krishna conscious beliefs, many sought alternative sources of authority to Prabhupada's successors. While some joined related Krishna-based religious organizations, others stood their ground and pushed to change ISKCON's system of religious authority."

The Gaudia Vaisnava culture is multi faceted now and have many ideas of how to worship and follow KC ideals, I know some have a minimum of 4 rounds even though 64 rounds was the original requirement otherwise we aren't even concidered human beings) daily, some still smoke bang and chant Gayatri and some have illicit sex whilst thinking themselves vaisnavas, yep, a sorry state of affairs indeed.

@@Techumsa This happened because nobody is going out anymore to full-time distribute Prabhupada's books. When going out full-time there is no way to deviate because you immediately cannot distribute many books anymore. The modern Vaishnavas simply want to have a nice living condition at a nice location. Bas. Preaching complete. However, they are captured by the modes of the material energy. Bhaktisiddhanta's disciples also chanted 64 rounds, but still were fighting at court for forty years over the properties of their spairiual master. So the solution is to go out and preach. Best preaching is to distribute books.
