The transcendental Sankirtan Movement descended with Lord Chaitanya from the spiritual world to Mayapur, India some 500 years ago. The Sankirtan Movement has since grown as the “Chaitanya Tree” with many personalities and their groups being its branches. When Lord Chaitanya disappeared in 1533 AD, Kali sent her agents to subvert the Sankirtan Movement and it became almost lost, filled with sahaijiyas, abberants, and imposters. In the mid-1800s Bhaktivinode Thakur wrote of 14 deviant apa-sampradaya sects of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, and by his vigorous preaching he re-established the purity and correct siddhanta of Lord Chaitanya’s teachings. His son Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur took up the same cause and in 1920 organized the Gaudiya Mission.
By 1936, when Bhaktisiddhanta left this world, he had founded 64 temples and trained thousands of disciples, and Lord Chaitanya’s movement was making substantial progress. Unfortunately his leading disciples disobeyed him and installed false acharyas, leading to a breakup and subterfuge of his accomplishments. Srila Prabhupada, Bhaktididdhanta’s faithful disciple, came to America in 1965, becoming the self-effulgent Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, a resurrection of the wayward Gaudiya Maths. He established 108 temples, initiated 5000 disciples, translating and commenting on all the main Gaudiya Vaishnava literatures.
Some of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples poisoned him in 1976-77, proven by hair tests in 1999-2005, confirmed by medical symptoms, witnesses, certified whispers about poisoning on Nov. 11, 1977, and Srila Prabhupada stating several times he had been maliciously poisoned. He and his caretakers discussed homicidal poisoning at length Nov. 9-10, but nothing was done, the issue was buried for 20 years. After Srila Prabhupada departed, in early 1978 the ISKCON GBC falsely claimed 11 senior men had been appointed as successor acharyas, but actually they had only been chosen by Srila Prabhupada as his future proxy-initiators, called ritvik representatives.
ISKCON fell into a decade of chaos as the zonal gurus ran amok, most falling down in a few years. The remnants of the Gaudiya Math took advantage (and vice versa) of alienated ISKCON members, and it spread somewhat outside India by attracting support from ISKCON’s diaspora. Tamal led a major split in ISKCON to Narayana Maharaja’s rasika bhakti camp. Initiated by the New Jaipur farm community, since 1989 a new and diverse Prabhupadanuga movement based on the July 9 Order has been expanding (including the Bangalore split). Meanwhile ISKCON’s GBC struggled to deal with schisms (see Vol. 5) and the anomalies caused by their weird, illogical, and ashastric guru-initiation system. ISKCON’s first female diksha guru appeared in 2022 and its temples and secondary leaders in India were threatening to secede.
Thus the Sankirtan Movement has evolved and the Chaitanya Tree has many new branches, although there is a strong case to be made that most of the branches from 1937 onwards are diseased, dying, or dead due to severe offenses and disobedience to the instructions of Bhaktisiddhanta and Srila Prabhupada. As explored in this volume and reviewed in the Epilogue, Lord Chaitanya’s Sankirtan Movement has been largely spoiled by deviations, disobedience to the bona fide Acharyas, sahajiya-mayavadi pollution, cover-ups with hypocrisy and lying propaganda, corruption, misinterpretation of shastra, Srila Prabhupada’s books being adulterated, and his teachings neglected.
