To Co-operate or Not to Co-operate With the GBC?

Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasized, "Your love for me will be tested how after my departure you maintain this institution. —TKG Diary, May 23, 1977 "Your love for me," said Śrīla Prabhupāda, "will be shown by how much you cooperate to keep this institution together after I am gone." —Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta, 52 The above quote of Srila Prabhupada is one of the most popular among ISKCON devotees and leaders. To keep ISKCON together as one institute strong enough to spread Lord Caitanya’s Mission all over the world, it is imperative to follow this instruction; one cannot bypass it. However, to be able to correctly follow this statement it is imperative that we also properly understand the meaning of this statement. This is required because this is one of the most misunderstood statement of Srila Prabhupada. How? We will examine in this article along with its proper understanding. Summary of the Article: · ...

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.
