seeing through the eyes of scriptures

all ISKCON leaders want is money
,
They do not care about you as a person only about money .In 1997 I had come to Washington DC ,with a Brahmacari and we started to distribute many books.What we did differently was we did not want to stay at any ISKCON temple as that would just slow us down and you have to look at the lazy persons that never go on bookdistribution and have so many excuses not to go out and deal with so many fallen persons in a temple .The TP of ISKCON Potomac at the time Trikalajna asked to see me.I invited him to our apartment in Washington DC,Served him prasadam and he asked when will I get a check from you ? I said I have no intention giving you a penny .That time I had lived almost years in a temple since 1979 .Actually we started our sankirtana with a minus 6000 dollars because Bhakta Jacob and myself bought 6000 dollars worth of books .All they wanted was money , not interested in bookdistribution only how much money can you collect for us and we will put in our private pocket .Trikala Jna das was getting a fat salary at the time and is a disciple of Mukunda Maharaja .In 1995 I had been asked to leave the Potomac temple for oppposing demigod worship ,Mayavadis speaking at the temple and all kinds of nonsense.Mukunda Maharaja was one of the rascals that asked I leave the temple though I was number 1 bookdistributor for USA at the time .There was no way I would ever again work with ISKCON Potomac when these rascals could not even admit their past sins and mistakes and give me a gentlemans apology .But they are not gentlemen but rascals .Trikala Jna made lots of money as a TP, the day he was no longer wanted as TP he bought himself a house cash with all the money as a TP.Anuttama das from ISKCON communication asked to see me and insisted we pay taxes...yes we are starting iwth minus 6000 we have to first collect back the money we even bought books for .Then when you distributed those books then we had so spend another 5000 US dollars on BBT books , how much profit you think we make on selling books ? You have to pay rent and have some money for bhoga and transportation , you live pretty much hand to mouth . I did later file taxes , but ISKCON Potomac when I was a sankirtana devotees in ISKCON Potomac in 1995 collected over 300.000 dollars for building a new temple that money disappeared ,I know because I talked with the devotee who was the treasurer at the time ,and who had just been replaced because he was to honest with money.This gives you some insight to what often goes on with ISKCON and money .
