We need to be careful what things from the early days we ask to go back to.

Much of what happened in ISKCON's early days was apad dharma. As the time,

place and circumstance changed, Prabhupada implemented stricter policies.

 

As an acarya, Prabhupada made concessions in the early 60's and 70's but by

the mid 70's, he got stricter. Like- Prabhupada initially performed

marriages but later stopped.

 

"An acarya should devise a means by which people may somehow or other come

to Krsna consciousness. First they should become Krsna conscious, and all

the prescribed rules and regulations may later gradually be introduced."

(CC Adi 7.37)
