Damn straight it is nowadays.A con. Service is taken by ordinary men from herds of sheeple fools.
There were similar atrocities and martyrs back in the seventies, also. Many sacrificed and were later abandoned or abused by monsters within the Movement. Srila Prabhupada was kept aloof most of the time on these petty abuses, though not petty to the sufferers.
Typical; Padmapani and I had just arrived in Calcutta. We were pukka brahmanas. Two sannyasis sat there; Gurukrpa, Gargamuni. I cannot remember exactly what they said to us, but it was a gay remark implying that Padma and I were lovers. I swallowed my pride, but five minutes later went back and told them off. So, it seems that corruption and street tongues were an integral part of the American sannyasis lives, whereas Canadian yatra was relatively free of such ruffianism.-+ This is petty example.
From what i understand, prostituting women was part of the USA scene, also.
We want to create sankirtan parties and distribute books, and even have ashramas, but we need to organize, we have some new members, and push on. If Krsna wills, everything can be done.
