Aa 2 years agoUnfortunately when prabhupada left this world, eleven of his - deviant personally motivated followers turned his movement into a cult.

The deviancy has continued to this day with ISKCON now a haven for child abusers.
ٴ 3 years agoThe real cult is Islam and Christianity, once you get in there is no way back to the world, only to hell. that's the definition of a cult, but i don't expect a reasonable unbiased doc from BBC.

Herson Puman 3 years agoI lived at Chaitanya College and attended the Bhakta Course. I met a lot of really nice people trying to live a different way. I often think about the characters I lived with and wonder what they are doing now, I'm pretty sure only very few would still be part of the movement. I had some spooky experiences there and the building was generally thought to have ghosts. After Chaitanya I went to the Manor, but in the end I 'blooped' (left the movement). There were too many inconsistencies for me and a few years after I left, the teacher (Srila Gurudev) apparently got exposed for something. I never became initiated and didn't really ever accept the teachings in a wholehearted way. But my memories of those days are pretty positive, wearing saffron robes, eating prasadam and dancing at 4.00 a.m should never be underestimated! Sending loving thoughts to all the beings who I met on that journey.

PCB 4 years agoHail ISKCON the wife abandonment organization designed to give all power to creepy shaved head renunciates who actually live like kings. People touching their feet and serving them food.

Renunciates beg for alms

- D Man 4 years agoI went the wrong way I guess she went right and should have left.
Andrew D 4 years agoSuch memories of walking first time into the reception of Iskcon on Soho street on a mild late October day in 1990.

There was a number of females in the reception and a British Indian female who would be about 60 now.

Would anyone know how I might make contact again?

James LDN UK 5 years agoThey hold their founder as perfect yet he said many embarrassing and unacceptable things on gay people, blacks and women. A true, kind spiritual man would never spout hatred, especially against traditionally oppressed groups.

- PCB 4 years agoAlso mistranslated scriptures. Totally took female out of godhead while speaking of Radha in same sentence then also married a 13 year old while he 20 didn’t like her tried to marry another. His father disapproved so abandoned his wife and son

Spoony Jeff UK 5 years ago08:20 "travelled penniless" so he basically came over, set up a cult, and got rich off of dumb people that have to join a cult in order to feel like they are praising god. Nice.

- Conker 2 years agoPrabhupada didn’t “get rich.” He used all of the money earned by the movement for the movement, he didn’t use it for himself.

- christopher stillwell 1 year agoHello people.
  
  Yes it is easy to project onto others, how we ourselves would exploit, if given the chance .
  
  Factually speaking though, Srila prabhupad gave his WHOLE life ,in humbly serving and helping the struggling people of the world, and at age 70 / 75 etc.
  
  Srila prabhupad is the real deal, the embodiment of compassion, and the way everyone knows this, is by HIS ACTIONS.
  
  God bless Srila prabhupad 🙏🙏🙏
