When and How to Co-operate in ISKCON?


The Co-operation Chart

(See 4 min video below for explanation)








The ISKCON GBC has repeatedly proven itself not following the orders, teachings and instructions of Srila Prabhupada and the Guru-sasdhu-sastras. Nor do the GBC has regard for and faith in the eternity of these instructions and thus their plans for ISKCON are not designed keeping them as primary authority.
Thus, to save Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, the only option left is the replace it with a more authoritative body, the Bureau, who has proved itself to more or less strictly follow Srila Prabhupada and guru-sadhu-sastras; and at the least they have high regard for and faith in these instructions and thus always try to make these instructions as primary authority while designing plans for ISKCON India (which is under its authority). However if the Bureau continues co-operating with the GBC, then it will no longer be able to be loyal to Srila Prabhupada and guru-sadhu-sastras. 


That reason is also given in the śāstra, gurur api avaliptasya kāryākāryam ajānataḥ. Kārya akārya. If the spiritual master does not know what is actually to be done, what is actually not to be done, and he acts against the rules and regulations of the śāstra, then such spiritual master may be given up.

—SB 1.16.36, Tokyo, Jan 20, 1974


 Here the word “api” is used to show that even the guru must be rejected then what to speak of other authorities, if they do not follow guru-sadhu-sastra

Chronicle of GBC Blunders: All 63 in a Single Article

By Nadiya Sasidhara Das Snippet:     The GBC has shown over the years that their decisions are unfortunately very often not based on Srila Prabhupada’s books and teachings and not based on Guru, Sadhu and Sastra (see list given below this article).     Recently the GBC passed a resolution permitting female diksha gurus (FDG’s) in ISKCON on 15th October 2019. It came as a great surprise and anguish to many. Surprise, because they did not properly discuss the issue, especially with the ISKCON India leaders who had requested for a dialogue on FDG with the GBC before any resolution on it. India contains 80% – 90% of the total number of ISKCON devotees in the world, so by not involving Indian leaders in this decision, the GBC effectively excluded 80 – 90% of ISKCON from this process. And anguish, as Srila Prabhupada’s vision of ISKCON establishing Varnasrama, although largely ignored all these years by the GBC seemed to now have been decidedly abandoned by it...

Why Sridhar Swami resigned from the GBC as told by Suhotra Swami

This talk took place sometime in the early 2000s. Suhotra Swami:                                                                                             I had a long and intimate talk with Sridhar Maharaja yesterday. He is one of my Godbrothers with whom I can reveal my mind in confidence. He jokingly says it is because our initials are the same, "SS." In many ways he and I have the same mind about a lot of things. For example, he resigned from the GBC a few years ago, just as I resigned this year. His "excuse" for resigning is that he has a liver condition that endangers his health.   And that is true. Twice he went into a coma from this condition. But now he is doing better, has lots of energy, travels around the...
