“Hidden among the seemingly peaceful suburbs of America, there lies a bizarre patchwork of unique subcultures and secret societies – extraordinary communities that live on the periphery according to their own set of rules, rituals, and traditions. From renegade Amish sects and New Age cults to centuries-old Gypsy clans, each episode transports viewers into the dark underbelly of a fascinating and foreign world. DEADLY DEVOTION recounts the gripping and unpredictable true stories of everyday people who search for belonging in these strange worlds and end up paying a fatal price.

“The basic fundamental reason why the leaders of ISKCON and the BBT do not read, teach or preach from Srila Prabhupadas original pre 1978 books is because that would be against their religion” Hasti Gopala Dasa
Hare Krsna Prabhu,
please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
All Glories to Prabhupadanugas.
Dear Prabhu, I’m new, and I have readed, some articles, and I’m convinced, what happened to Srila Prabhupada.
Can You please tell me, what the religion is of the leaders of ISKCON and the BBT?
I’ll be very grateful to You, if You can tell me more about their reglion or will You kind enough to direct me, what articles I should read?
Please accept my humble obeisances,

Actually Iskcon has now many or different faces of religion.
There is the Iskcon Mayapur with the GBC and the GBC appointed gurus kind of religion etc.
There is Iskcon Vrindavan with its many assorted activities kind of religion etc.
There are Iskcon women who wish to be addressed as Prabhus – we are all the same no difference kind of religion etc.
Then, there is Iskcon Bangalore with their ritvik interpretation kind of religion etc.
There are the ritviks calling themselves as Prabhupadanugas (followers of Srila Prabhupada) kind of religion etc.
There is Iskcon Australia with their ‘Woofers’ kind of religion etc.
There is Iskcon UK with their assorted kind of religion etc.
And there is Iskcon USA with their many any thing can is authorized kind of religion etc.
All of which is nothing more than one’s self interest religion.
Krsna Consciousness now is anything you want it to be. All one has to do is interpret the way you want it and simply say Srila Prabhupada said so and stick to it.
HARE KRSNA
Then there is SG’s singular and radical reductionist religion of one (none).
Through his all encompassing criticism, SG rejects not only the adharmic interpretations of sadhana Bhakti supposedly based on the words of Srila Prabhupada, but also rejects the reasonable translations of sadhana Bhakti based on the direct instructions of Srila Prabhupada…
Consequently, SG paints himself into a corner where he is not able to offer any viable alternative, but instead must resort to barking his criticism at everyone else.
The prima facie evidence of his presentation is that he in fact promotes the path of nihilism, rejecting all, yet accepting nothing.
If we accept the direct implication of SG’s preaching, we can only conclude that at least he himself believes that he has the ONE solution, yet appears too greedy to share it.
Sorry, doesn’t sound like Gaudiya Vaisnavism to me.
It sounds like another bait and switch con artist looking to divert our attention (worship) of the Founder Acarya of Iskcon to himself.
All glories to the Maha Moha Tamasa Acarya, SG.
Hare Krsna Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Prabhu, thank You very much for explaining this for to me, I didn”t know all these things, it is so much.
I know only one religion, and that’s following the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, and never deviate from His instructions. He is the one who we should worship.
Will there ever be any improvement?
It seems like one kichiri, sorry I don’t want to hurt anybody, but what is wrong with all these devotees?
Srila Prabhupada is very clear in His instructions, why should they interpret in in their ways.
Now I can understand why so many devotees are leaving ISKCON, and there are so many quarrels among themselves.
How one can save the world, if they put the worship of Srila Prabhupada aside, not following His instructions, editing His books and gave their own interpretation?
Will Lord Krsna ever intervene in this self-made religion?
It is very sad to read all this, what has happened to ISCKON.
Worshiping the Founder Arcaya, who is a Maha Bhavagata, and who has changed so many lives of millions of people, what’s wrong with that.
I will always be indebted to Srila Prabhupada, who gave me so much, and His worship is very important to many of us.
And calling a mataji, “Prabhu”, that’s not proper, Srila Prabhupada is clear in that, and He has a reason, why men should call, a woman, “mataji” except their wife.
You know all this Prabhu, and again thank You very much.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
dasianudasi,
Arci
