It was what the fighting was all about: EXCITEMENT! So many controversies covered the root issues, which were conveniently ignored and forgotten. The revolutionary excitement of the Sixties and the early Seventies was replaced by a dim and warped replica, a facsimile that was held in place because G.B.C. fanatics forced everyone to toe the line—or to be ostracized. Cult coercion was the enforcement mechanism, and this was encouraged by the G.B.C., since the Commish was its beneficiary. A thriving and diverse international organization was thus overlaid with oppressive homogeneity. In all the excitement, everyone lost track of the real issues. The Society was converted into a cult of organization, ideals be damned! Ideological changes were considered in terms of whether they superficially appeared to work, not on whether or not they were based on çästra. The ideal of honesty was considered meaningless.

Prabhupada: Without substance, no movement will stay. It may go on for some time. Bhutva bhutva praliyate. Now, what about our movement? It will stay, or it will also go like that? Leading Secretary: It will stay. . . The big danger, you say, is faction. Prabhupada: Hmmm.

“ISKCON” finds itself locked into The Law of Diminishing Returns. There’s a point of no return, and that organization and its die-hards reached that point long ago. Interestingly enough, this viewpoint is also held by them in relation to those who have left their camp and taken to different ways of prosecuting Krsna consciousness. Once a china bowl drops to the floor and smashes, no matter how expert a renovator may be in attempting to reassemble it, the artifact can never be put back together as good as it once was.

A regular guru must certainly first receive the order from Srila Prabhupada to then become a diksha-guru and initiate disciples. This is confirmed clearly in the May 28, 1977 room conversation with the leading secretaries, viz., “but on my order.” Once receiving that order, he has no choice but to enter the fray. How could it be otherwise? If he did not, then he would be disobeying the order of his spiritual master to initiate new disciples with the bhakti-lata-bija, but such a regular guru will never pretend to be an uttama-adhikari while engaging in his duty as diksha-guru. If he should become uttama, then he would not be pretending, so he would have the option of receiving worship, then and only then, as a mahabhagavat.

You should reject the misplaced sentiment that Prabhupada’s chief mood was his so-called never-ending love for, and appreciation of, his institution and his institution’s leaders. The motive underlying that misconception is cent-per-cent anchored in ahankära. His mood never changed while he was manifest, and it has not changed now: He is pleased by service. Devotional service, either in this world or in the spiritual world, is the be-all and end-all of all existence, everywhere. If you have the service attitude, your mood matches the mood of Srila Prabhupada. Your service mood pleases him.

At this point of Kali Yuga, forty-six years since the disappearance of Srila Prabhupada, "truth" is determined mostly by power politics, bureaucratic institutionalism, fanaticism, and, at the base of all these, black magic. Many if not most of our godbrothers are currently covered over by major misconceptions. They have become enchanted enough to even consider these misconceptions divine. Those who are completely deluded cannot really be helped by anyone except a mahabhagavat (even such a transcendental personality may not be able to help some of them). But I am not really all that concerned about them, because they are engaged in pushing these misconceptions for their own vested interests to the detriment of everyone else.

The actual attitude of devotional service, particularly applicable in this age and at this time, is a conservative psychology, not a liberal one. The advanced brähmin possesses within himself a liberal intelligence, but that remains personal, i.e., it is not applicable to being transferred into any institutional arrangement, particularly in the West. That the uttama-adhikäri sees all other devotees serving the Lord better than himself does not translate into his formulating a Krsna movement based upon such inconceivable, personal psychology. Bhaktas and bhaktins, in terms of practical preaching, interaction, and proselytizing efforts, are not merely conservative–they are ultra-conservative. As such, they do not experiment with new attitudes, ideas, lifestyles, and belief systems that are contrary to sästra, logic, and paramparä precedent, and they have no attraction to doing so.

It is illegal for the GBC to abrogate unto itself the power to have its party men wait in queue for one, two, or three years in order to see if any of the members of the commission vetoes his nomination to be diksa-guru. It is illegal for the body to recognize such a “guru” when he manages to avoid that. It was illegal for the commission to have diksa-gurus recognized by votes of the body before this latest concoction. It may not be illegal, but it is certainly highly distasteful that the GBC has not spoken out strongly against the so-called Lilamrita, especially since its author advertises in the book itself that his work has received that body’s imprimatur. It is equally abominable that the commission does not raise a deafening outcry against all of the changes enacted to Prabhupada’s books by the so-called BBT(i).

With the advent of the INTERNET, real writing and real speech was facilitated as never before. An accurate history of what went down in the Hare Krsna movement can be read, heard, and assimilated. This is a boon for realization of the Absolute Truth. Even if it disturbs the Party Men of “ISKCON” to some limited degree, they remain confident that their version of totalitarianism, mistaken knowledge, and inaccurate history will still be strong enough to prevail. As far as righting all the wrongs they had perpetrated, that was never allowed to even cross the minds of the Party Men. In order to right those wrongs, it would have to be done at a radical level . . . and that is out of the question! KCd's original missive source: G.B.C, Touch of Evil - Part 1 - 26.

In the absence of a manifest diksa guru, bhagavad-vidhi initiation through the book bhagavat is a genuine alternative which links a sincere and serious devotee to the sampradaya. It is not a cheap affair, and it does not preclude the future appearance of either an uttama adhikari or a madhyam adhikari to take up the post of diksa guru. As such, it does not preclude the disciple (who has accepted this book bhagavat initiation) from receiving his pancaratriki-vidhi initiation from a genuine manifest guru at any time after having attained the bhagavad vidhi initiation. Srila Prabhupada is the siksa guru for every devotee of the Krsna consciousness movement in his line, but only the diksa guru for disciples whom he initiated during his manifest, i.e., physical, presence. Connection to the sampradaya cannot exclude the mysteries of disciplic succession. These mysteries are viable whether they are understood, misunderstood, or totally neglected by conditioned souls.

“ISKCON” is a manifestation of the ävaranätmikä-sakti. The Mäyä first pulled almost everyone away. When the G.B.C., in complete defiance of what Prabhupäda ordered and wanted, forced everyone to accept the eleven pretender mahäbhägavats, those who bought into it got pulled away from Reality. All of Prabhupäda’s disciples and followers who fell under that spell werepulled fromTHE TRUTHby the praksepätmikä-sakti. KCd's original missive source: Freedom from "ISKCON" - 29.

If you conclude, wrongly, that Prabhupäda converted his eleven rittviks into diksä-gurus in that equivocal room conversation with three of his leaders,what was the resultof such a so-called conversion? Answer:The devastation of his branch of the Hare Krsna movement of Krsna consciousness less than a half year later. If you come to such a mal-interpretation (that the rittviks were converted into gurus), then Prabhupäda would be responsible for what he (through the back door, so to speak) allegedly ordered in the third week of October, 1977. However,he didnotauthorize such a conversion, and you cannot pin the zonal äcärya debacle on him. Find out more: https://returntosquareone.com/

In the late Seventies, “ISKCON” declared war on all genuine transcendentalists, yet only a handful of them realized this at that time. Many more realize it now. The “ISKCON” party men rejected the order implicit in the movement founded by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupäda. This did not transpire in isolation, and it did not happen overnight. Nevertheless, there were major events on the road to destroying Prabhupäda’s movement, and that perdition—in terms of converting a functioning, bona fide, international Society into a rebellion—is now complete.

If you vaguely remember the Zonal Era for what it was, this reiteration of Hansadutta’s summation of those dark times should serve to jog your memory as to how severe the imposition was and how it dealt with malcontents.

A balanced approach of the pros and cons to post-1977 “ISKCON” (as if there is anything other than cons) may be well-received in scholastic circles, but it does not help us put the pieces of the “ISKCON” puzzle together in a logical way. It is particularly unhelpful when alsoshot through with compromise. Simply to be popular with scholars, like-minded authors, and other enablers (even if considered in the context of a quasi-Eastern ethic), why allow a cherished principle of balance to trumpthe much higher principles of logic andsästric truth?
