I think first they would have to explain to us what do they mean by "ISKCON"

Are his followers ISKCON members or former ISKCON members or how is this to

be understood?

Sorry I could not follow what you are trying to say by this.

I also dont want to be part of a sect or a splinter group therefore I see

things moore universal or from the point of view of "Unity in diversity".

Is not that what Prabhupada also wanted?

Did he really sad or indicated such a thing? I,m just curious.

 

> How one can possibly call this a "cooperation"?

 

If that where really his intentions than of course there would be no

question of "cooperation" from his part.
