cbrahma Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 ISKCON has fostered many devotees, gurus, disciples who did not follow the principles. Unfortunately it is such a fallen institution, that one's staying is no evidence of maintaining a standard. (See zonal acaryas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theist Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Letters, 1975 Melbourne My Dear Madhudvisa Swami: If one does not follow the regulative principles, then he will leave. That is a fact. This is the function of the GBC, to see that one may not be taken away by maya. The GBC should all be the instructor gurus. I am in the initiator guru, and you should be the instructor guru by teaching what I am teaching and doing what I am doing. This is not a title, but you must actually come to this platform. This I want. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/bs Nice find Sarva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people stay because outside the movement they would be nothing. Here they have all the sense gratification they want. Fame, profit, and prestige. If being a sannyasi in Iskcon was an actual austerity, we would have had very, very few sannyasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
