Iskcon and Gaudiya Math (IGM) like all institutions after the founder passes away they fracture into something very different from what the founder intended. Large institutions attract fame, wealth and power. Even for Srila Prabhupada it consumed him and although not proven they (his followers) may have even killed him. It is very damming when a father on his death bed talks of being poisoned by his sons what to speak of a Gurudev and his disciples. Srila Prabhupada had a pharmaceutical business he would have been well aware of the symptoms of poisoning. So the very fact that Srila Prabhupada even talks about being poisoned whether physically or metaphorically was very bad news for the future of Iskcon.
But before he left us, a powerful political faction was rising headed by Tamal Krishna Das (Def not a Goswami) He had SP sign a will with Tamal’s list of eleven politcal/factional supporters. This little charade was used to assert they were the chosen ones. All lies and cheating and why? For money, fame, wealth and power.
Iskcon is now fully transformed from a spiritual community headed by a pure devotee into a Religious Institution headed by a group of people hell bent on full-filling their Greed, Lust and Anger (The three door ways to hell)
Each person is now on their own as has always been the case, institutions do nothing more than ruin a wonderful spiritual process and they will steal all of your time from your Hari Bhajan. You cannot get close to a community deity, a serious sadak needs to choose a ishta devata (diety of close personal choice) and worship it daily and get really close it. The internal relationship has to go beyond awe and reverence to develop Krishna Prema, to do this one needs a Sat Guru (Spotless Guru) and its obvious you will not find one of these in any current institutions focused on money, fame, wealth and power and where truth is a scarce commodity.

pamho prabhus agtACBSP,
nature’s law doesn’t excuse ignorance but people still can learn through the gunas of material nature, sattvavalambi para sattva visuddha sattvam (BS.5.41)
When we ask all those who occupied SRILA PRABHUPADA’s movement, why you stepped over SRILA PRABHUPADA, they reply we are following, we are living gurus. But actually they don’t know because they are under the three gunas still.
Therefore this deviant situation keeps going until people become conscious that we are just tools, nimitta matram, of the remote cause and not to people who are still recovering themselves from this material disease by cheating humanity, withholding the spreading of Lord Caitanya’s Sankirtan movement.
They know they are just working into their own pockets but they keep going in the wrong direction because that’s their own degraded guno-sanga-sya, they do not want to consider SRILA PRABHUPADA as current link but figure they are the new captains of the ISKCON ship.
The best remedy to get out from this terrible disease, because still they are taking the wrong medication is to give up false ego and to surrender to the final order of SRILA PRABHUPADA.
Only then, through genuine devotion to SRILA PRABHUPADA, people become free from the poisoning effects of lording it over material nature and using Prabhupada’s movement for material gain,
