Should the GBC resign? A good question.

that wouldn't be fair. If the authority really feels that they are

responsible for the damage then they should stay back, try to ractify the

mistake and undo the damage, not just resign leaving all responsibility on

others. That will be political and marely sentimental, an escapist's

mentality. Of course, if their presence brings in more problem then they

should honestly resign, but not just to pacify those who condemn them.

This is my humble opinion.

Your points are valid although since I am not managing ISKCON I can't say

for sure how it will reduce other problems.

I personally don't like to blame Maya for all that happens. Maya devi is a

very loyal and obedient servant of the Supreme Lord. She appears to be

creating obstacles in our spiritual advancement but in fact she is doing it

*only so far* we work againt the instructions of Lord Krishna, and that also

she does to purify us. Rather it's Kaliyuga who is trying to destroy our

movement, inho. Of course, I am thankful to Kaliyuga also for giving us the

opportunity to participate in Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhus' sankirtan

movement! I am realising there is no one to blame for our problems except

ourselves. Similarly, for my problems I am to blame. Hare Krishna.
