Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Actually there is no confusion. There is only one ISKCON founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I joined this movement in 1971 and was initiated by His Divine Grace the same year. He personally instructed me how I was to serve his mission. I am strictly following his orders without any deviation for the last 34 years. He established the GBC (Governing Body Commission) to manage the society and engaged them in managing the society even when he was present. He personally ordered me to follow the directions of the GBC. Therefore by following the GBC I am following his order and following him. It is a simple logic. Anyone who claims to be ISKCON but refuses to follow the GBC is deviating from Srila Prabhupada's instructions and is therefore not actually part of ISKCON, in spite of their many sophisticated claims to the contrary.

I have met few people who have given me 2 different opinions about iskcon philosophy. I do not know whom to ask for clarification. Luckily, I found your website on the internet and d to your online course. Hope you will be able to answer my question. Few people say that Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Founder of iskcon) is the only leader and spiritual master of iskcon. But there are others who talk about GBC etc (which i dint understand) and that they are the spiritual masters of iskcon. Who is correct? Are you a part of the GBC group or the other group? Thank you, Deepak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
