Why will anything change?

[Guest guest]

I have been following the various proposals and comments GBC Restructure

conference and have also noticed that there is very, very little activity on

COM in some important conferences like varnasrama development and the cow

protection conference.

 

While there has been some intelligent commentaries I was wondering why

anyone thinks anything will change as the result of such an endeavor. I am

not trying to be negative. I am mostly a very optimistic person in my own

life, but of course, ISKCON is not a very big part of that life either. I

simply find it curious that that this new round of attempts to change ISKCON

"leadership" or non-leadership follows the same methods as previously

unsuccessful attempts and after some time the comments slow and then die out

altogether.

 

If the GBC and other so-called leaders of ISKCON knew, read and listened to

the pure devotee's proposal to change the movement over 26 years ago when he

ordered varnasrama colleges in EVERY center of HIS movement but NEVER did

anything about it, what makes anyone think that we will have any effect on

their resolve?

 

They obviously never agreed with Prabhupada's proposal for varnasrama and

continue to ignore it. They obviously think his ideas were wrong and now are

outdated? These conferences are trying to come up with new proposals without

referencing directly the precise orders and directions Prabhupada gave us in

his morning walk conversations in Vrindavana in 1974. WHY?

 

Do the participants of these conferences agree with Prabhupada's various

directions in those walk conversations?

 

If every devotee in ISKCON knew that Prabhupada gave the order to start

varnasrama colleges in EVERY center of the movement, why couldn't they

simply demand that the GBC follow this order or be fired for insubordination

to the pure devotee?
