These include chanting the name of Krishna, singing songs of worship, ritually venerating images of the divine, performing acts of devotional service to those images, and preaching about Krishna and Krishna Consciousness. That is liberation. It is really a mercy to get spiritual master as pure devotee like srila prabhupada. ISKCON is now another dead branch which is not capable of producing any fruits and flowers. “It is imperative that a serious person accept a bona fide spiritual master in terms of the sastric injunctions. I read the article and I am with you on this issue. Both are bogus now. A neophyte Vaisnava or a Vaisnava situated on the intermediate platform can also accept disciples, but such disciples must be on the same platform, and it should be understood that they cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life under his insufficient guidance. He explains in great detail the simple and beautiful philosophy of Krishna consciousness. Read all of his other books and get to know him better. You have Srila Prabhupada. The speaker of this sacred text is Lord Krishna, who is revered as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So says The Lord Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. But of course none of these ‘Guru Sastra Research’ committees can ever come up with anything that justifies what the ISKCON gurus are doing. But he does not mean strictly following Prabhupada unfortunately. I mean the Hritiviks,who are claiming them self as a Guru or there are some true people still present there? Even when Srila Prabhupada was physically on the planet his society was even then riddled with rascals and envious people only now we have those same rascals in positions of power. dandavat Pranam please accept my humble obesciences Ultimately, God sees what’s in our hearts. Thank you very much for sharing the current things which are happening in the ISKCON, I feel my self fortunate because I met with the community which is independent form the ISKCON and truly following the Srilla Prabhupad’s message.My question islike, are all the gurus currently in ISKCON are fraud? Like I have already said, I should not have to explain such simple things. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. However, it was not translated by Srila Prabhupada. Over the years, to my great dismay, I have seen ISKCON systematically reject, misinterpret and now, with the book changes,  change the teachings of Srila Prabhupada to suit their own ends. In the 80’s I often visited the local ISKCON center, and had no idea of what had transpired amoung the “leadership”. This is not real Vaishnavism but a type of spiritual poison. In this condition the soul can experience only the sat and cit aspects of liberation, no ananda and no vigraha, no real bliss and no spiritual form. I appreciate the clarity and passion u bring now maybe u could supplement it with some choices and direction for the fledgling devotee’s such as me? A genuine devotee does not cowtow to mundane governing bodies like the GBC, which have at least deviated from the acaryas by concocting this “guru by GBC” impediment. So everyone can see that Srila Prabhupada is a real Vaisnava Acaraya, because he is self-effulgent. And actually that is one of the qualities of a real Vaisnava Acarya, he is self-effulgent…, So anyone, even a conditioned soul, [except a totally envious blind person] can see the bona fide self effulgent Vaisnava Acaraya…. How could He not? The example is given of a green bird flying into a green tree. the rescuer has to be liberated…, And of course, if you have been reading Srila Prabhupada’s books, you will know that one can not become a devotee until he is liberated. A genuine guru has absolutely no need to obtain the approval of a group of conditioned souls like the GBC. It is not material in any way. After seeing happen over and over across countless expressions of the divine I’ve come to peace with it; it seems that this is a natural result of some sort. And all of us eternal souls have a common father, Sri Krishna, the Supreme Soul of souls and the Lord within all of ours hearts. The current ISKCON guru tattva is simply that anyone in ISKCON can become a guru provided he or she has some aspiring disciples and that none of the GBC members object to him or her becoming a guru. The same thing also happened in the Gaudiya Matha after Srila Bhaktsiddhanta, Srila Prabhupada’s spiritual master, disappeared. Because it is insane. One must learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Here in my place almost everyone are entrapped in a uber materialistic world view. How can a street-sweeper teach you law? There are no qualifications required at all. Madhya 8.128]. They are all misleading their followers regardless of how well they can parrot the ABCs of the philosophy. Naturally I am happy to have killed my guru in the proces because somehow or other I have received some spontaneous attachment also for him since naturally he is part and parcel of Sri Krishna, of course. Could you give quotation for the following article” Guru cannot be a conditioned soul. And the worst hell is awaiting those engaged in the “guru business.” You can read all about it in Sri Isopanisad. Shaastras clearly define the parameters of a genuine guru. These are the worst people in society, the bogus gurus engaged in the guru business, and they will go to the worst hellish planet on the completion of their guru business with their bogus disciples. It is completely useless to accept a conditioned soul as your spiritual master. His own hands and legs are completely bound up and tied up. manyate tamasavrta Actually this ‘liberation’ of the mayavadis and impersonalists is not permanent. Hare Krishna founder A.C. Bhaktvedanta Swami formulated a specific bhakti yoga system drawn heavily from the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, but formulated for Westerners to understand. Of course Srila Prabhupada is not saying anything on his own strength. That’s it. And Krsna says, “One who understand Me rightly, he becomes immediately free.” Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti [Bg. ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna consciousness, also known as the “Hare Krishna movement,” was founded by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his followers in 1966 in New York. The Vedic literature of India advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. The ritviks are, as I have written, also lying trying to present their interpretation of Srila Prabhupada’s teachings, which is also an incorrect interpretation. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is the spiritual institution founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in July 1966 as a continuation of the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya.ISKCON was personally directed by its Founder-Acarya Srila Prabhupada until his departure on November 14, 1977. So naturally we find ISKCON also reject the very basic and fundamental teachings of Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita: “Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. This is the basic fundamental philosophy that underlies the whole concept of Krishna consciousness. For Hare Krishna devotees, human nature is rooted in the immaterial self, the spiritual being that only temporarily inhabits the physical body. ji Real gurus don’t lie about such a thing. Who is such a fool that they can not understand this???? He means getting out of bed before 4:00 in the morning and practicing some austerities and not eating too much and following the regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds a day. I would like to say that ISKCON is pure as it is Srila Prabhupada’s body yet there are those within its ranks that choose to cheat those sincere souls who actually want to serve Lord Sri Krishna. What we all have to do is really surrender to Srila Prabhupada and really read his books and really follow all of his instructions, which is really not a very easy thing to do. We sit in the heart, the seat of all energies of the body. I love your articles but sometimes I need some clearing up. Both days they reduced the timing of lecture and organised dance programme 1st day there was a drama played by children in the temple itself. Hari Krsna to all.My observation of what happens when the person in possession of real knowledge passes on is that his teachings and instructions are quickly compromised by envious and jealous people. They are the worst elements in society and they create the greatest danger and devastation in people’s spiritual lives. So one has to first become at least a Madhyama-adhikari by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada. ISKCON explains this concept anthropomorphically as the devotee living forever in the realm of Krishna, engaging in eternal service to and pastimes with the Lord. Therefore it is safe to presume, unless there is evidence to the contrary, that anyone posing as a spiritual master is a bogus cheater. Your email address will not be published. Someone who does not understand this basic teaching of Krishna consciousness cannot be guru and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta makes this clear in one of his articles about sahajiya: siddhanta-alasa jana anartha to’ chade na Because one who has understood Krsna in truth, he is liberated person. He can see what is happening, and will correct everything in due course of time. For example, the Mundaka Upanishad (3.1.9) explains that the living being is the soul, and that: “The soul is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. I started seriously reading Srila Prabhupada's books in Australia 1985 and by 1986 Srila Prabhupada had convinced me "Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead" and "we should surrender to Krishna." I joined the Hare Krishnas in Perth, Western Australia in 1986. This is such a perfect and logical philosophy, it is the truth, the absolute truth: A man bound by the hands and feet cannot free himself–he must be helped by a person who is unbound. 4.9]. But the only person who can supply the seed, the bhakti-lata-bija, is the pure devotee who has the full-grown plant of bhakti in his heart that is actually flowering and producing the fruits and the seeds. After reading your article ISKON from absolute truth to insanity.It is very unfortunate that movement started by our Guru Sri Prabhupada is not moving right direction. Prabhupada has given us everything in his books and reaffirmed that in his classes and letters and conversations and films and videos. So I got this very long email of which many things I do not understand. More than 1,800 Hours of NEW PRABHUPADA AUDIO! Of course ultimately these rejections of the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and the introduction of concocted new ideas by the GBC are all centered around the main ISKCON deviation, and that is the ISKCON guru tattva… Actually there is no ISKCON guru philosophy that can be supported by any sastric evidence. It is because in this impersonal liberation there is no ability to perform any actions, therefor one can not serve Krishna in this ‘liberated’ condition. This is another idea that will only be accepted by sudras. Just see how dishonest ISKCON is!!! The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth. Not happy for me, but that the will of the divine is apparently done. Last week they have organized Srimadh Baghvat Katha, (about Sri Krishna’s past times etc), one Swamiji from Vrindavan was delivering lecture. But this ‘strict following’ does not prove anything. Someone who is not liberated does not have the capacity to help you become liberated. He has no permanent relationship with the disciple. The actual true state of liberation is to go back home, back to Godhead, to be serving Krishna in Goloka Vrindavan, the spiritual world. Therefore a disciple should be careful to accept an uttama-adhikari as a spiritual master.”. Is this enough or are they never going to able to return to the spirtiual world because their ‘guru’ fell down or was not qualified? On the other hand, in corporate “ISKCON” one is not considered a so-called guru unless they have been officially approved by the governing body. Guru is easy if you are a pure devotee but impossible otherwise… Because people want to be guided how to become a pure devotee. That is the relation between spiritual master and disciple. Some Hare Krishna scholars have called this position "nondualistic dualism," since it distinguishes God and humanity as separate beings (dualism), but does so in a way that they share essential characteristics (non-dualistic). This is another argument the ISKCON gurus put. So ISKCON ignore, reject, misinterpret and twist everything Prabhupada says about the guru to try and ‘prove’ that conditioned souls can become gurus. In light of the downfall of ISKCON is there anyone qualified, interested and able to put this information into a book? Even if they do happen to come in contact with a bona fide guru, because of being cheated by a bogus guru before, generally they will not be able to surrender. No conditioned soul can determine if someone else is a conditioned soul or a liberated soul. Guru must be liberated. You can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. So this is not satisfying in the long-run because we are all eternally spiritual persons and we need to have some activities and we need to associate with others. Was a delight to read. He is no fool. This is the example of all the acaryas. That understanding which considers irreligion to be religion and religion to be irreligion, under the spell of illusion and darkness, and strives always in the wrong direction, O Partha, is in the mode of ignorance. So if a “guru” is not liberated he is a cheater. ISKCON was founded in 1966 in New York City by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.Its core beliefs are based on the Hindu scriptures, particularly the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavata Purana, and the … This is just plain and simple.

Vaishnavism means 'worship of Vishnu', and Gauḍa refers to the area where this particular branch of Vaishnavism originated, in the Gauda region of West Bengal. ISKCON's system of belief and practice is based on the Bhagavad-gita, "The Song of God," which, according to tradition, is 5,000 years old. Bhakti Vikasa Swami, who presents himself as a strict follower, is lobbying the GBC to add ‘strict following’ to their currently nonexistent list of qualifications ISKCON gurus need to have. Somehow us very fallen totally conditioned souls KNEW Srila Prabhupada was without question…so can you give scripture support saying we cannot know?

They have to teach according to the current edicts of the GBC, not according to what Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita or the knowledge Srila Prabhupada has given us. Their idea is everything goes as long as the gurus don’t get caught. The body is only a temporary vehicle for the eternal soul. Because of the doctrine of transmigration, human beings have lived innumerable previous lives, and will continue to do so in the future. Finally, the rasa system culminates in the shringara rasa, the relationship of intimate erotic love. Conditioned Souls Writing Vaisnava Literature?

We are a non-profitable charitable organization meant for the spiritual and ethical welfare of everyone who is seeking the path of righteousness. imho Just try to develop some taste for the relationship with Sri Krishna and thereby get rid more and more of the lower taste for temporary sense gratification. I have firm faith that those who want or deserve to be cheated will be, but I also understand that any devotee of Krsna does not want to see anyone fall into the ISKCON “trap”. The faults we see in others will one day come back to us. You can opt out of these offers at any time. Please forgive me if you feel bad. One who knows in truth how Krsna is appearing, how Krsna is disappearing, he is learned. Let Iskcon do what they do. From there we experience the world through the wired machinery of the body’s senses, as well as through the more subtle energies of mind, intelligence, and ego. And the ‘liberated’ impersonalist has no activities and no ability to associate with anyone else… So ultimately he becomes bored with this so-called liberation and like the green bird flying out of the green tree he leaves the brahmajoti and again takes a material body in the material world so he can have some activities and associate with some people…, So this ‘liberation’ of the mayavadis and impersonalists is not really liberation, it is not permanent, and it is like Hell for the devotees, devotees will never accept this type of ‘liberation.’, There is great transcendental pleasure, ananda, in serving Krishna, but the impersonalists have no knowledge of this transcendental pleasure…, Please accept my humble obeisance. 4.9].”  (710216LE.GOR), This is our siddhanta, our philosophy, “Guru cannot be a conditioned soul.

A ISKCON guru is a person who is permitted to initiate disciples into the International Society for Krishna Consciousness system. The guru himself is in illusion. Due to time and circumstances since GBC do not accept performing the sacrifice by a ritvik and the disciple is Srila Prabhupadas….I see no reason that the the remainder intelligent disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are able and qualified can develop an organized structure where some do act as ritvik since Srila Prabhupada said we can add more ritviks…there is no reason to stop it on the basis that initiation is there anyways (which is absolutely true).
