Better to explain the facts, rather then attempt to > philosophically shoot the messenger. In need of facts? Here are a few, from HH Narayana Maharaja: ------- About the quality of the ISCKON: > Some people are saying: > "Oh Narayana Maharaja is in a different line from Srila Bhaktivedanta > Svami Maharaja" but actually it is not Narayana Maharaja who is in a > different line, it is those who say he is. > THAT IS WHY 99% OF SANNYASIS ARE FALLEN AND ALL THE SINCERE VAISHNAVAS > HAVE LEFT. About Srila Prabhupada as not the Founder-Acarya of ISCKON, but simply one of the prominent acaryas in the line. > Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the founder of ISKCON. Swamiji, AC Bhaktivedanta > Swami Maharaja is one of the prominent acaryas in this line only. He is > not founder, he's one of the prominent acarays, who spread all these > things [over] whole world, in a very short time. About Srila Prabupada as less qualified than all other acaryas of the time who have not come to the West: > He was one hand, one hand, he > was one hand, and that hand was so long that it traveled [over the] whole > world, that long hand. But for this you should not minimize all other > acaryas who have not come here, but more qualified they were. Like parama > pujyapada Sridhara Maharaja, Gosvami Maharaja, my Guru Maharaja, to whom > this Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja used to make, used to honor like > siksa-guru. About ISCKON as a dry field, bad association; about all ISCKON sannyasis falling now down: > We are feeling, and all are feeling nowadays, lacking of high-class of > association, whole field is dry, no good association, and that is why so > many renounced order, sannyasis, and all others, they fell down, and all > are now falling down. About ISCKON gurus being possesive over their disciples, not ready to share with the high-class preachers the taste of their property: > Nowadays it is very painful that all are quarreling, and they don't want > that high-class of Vaisnavas should preach. They think that, "Our > disciples are our property." And that is why they want they only they > should taste the property, not that they should help their devotees that > they should advance in Krsna consciousness. More about "them", as those who will be the destroyers of the whole thing (unless they change): > We are all, we should be assembled in one > group in Caitanya Mahaprabhu's family, helping each other. And then > preaching [over] whole world in one line. Then we can be any success, > otherwise they will all ruin. About ISCKON leaders giving more honor to the Bombay cinemas prostitutes than to sadhus: > Now I see that, I don't want to tell but even I am bound to tell. Now > ISKCON leaders, they give so much honor to prostitutes from Bombay > cinemas, they give so much honor to mayavadis, or to smarta, but not > proper respect to high-class of devotees. --------------- All these facts from just a single lecture, basically.
