This seems more an asharam problem, someone posing as a sanyassi yet acting

like an irresponsible grhasta.

 

Unfortunately, there were also many persons of substandard behaviour even in

the glory days of Vedic Culture. Welcome to the material world.

 

Still, ISKCON should take great pains not to establish this sort of behaviour

as the standard -- it makes a mockery of our sincere efforts and encourages

those who have nothing positive to offer philosophically speaking.
