dear Yogindra Vandana das Prabhu
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
I am sorry you have become a blind uncle I would never place your feet on my head , what to speak of Hrdayananda..by worship of conditioned souls one becomes conditioned.
And one develops material desires.One should never wash the feet of a conditioned soul, it means no one in ISKCON is fit for this treatment.
Srila Prabhupada was.

Wash out of respect is there sometimes in Vedic culture if one takes "muchi water" from such a conditioned kanista one goes to hell

[Paramananda das]

do not sprinkle it on your head or drink it ,it will give adverse effect for your spiritual advancement .Only from an uttama adhikari

What I meant to say was, according to Vedic culture, you can wash even a guests feet, certainly there is nothing wrong washing

the feet of a Guru, sannyasi or any senior devotee, drinking this stuff and sprinkling on ones head is another story.Suddha Bhakata Carana renu...dust from the feet of a pure devotee.So if disciples wash and so on the feet of their Guru that is their choice.Personally unless it is a cent pure devotee, I will not be part of the sprinkling and drinking part.I do not like to see a Guru that only chants 16 rounds

being worshipped as an acarya, maybe if he chant 64 to 120 rounds for 20 to 50 years, and also preaches pure bhakti.Where is such a person, Narayana Maharaja has many philosophical deviations.The 2 Puri Maharajas where properly the last ones living where it would be safe to do so.This is my personal opinion.If any ISKCON Guru feels they absolutly have to give their "pedicure leftovers"..it is their problem.If they had some humility they would say throw this stuff in a bush ,do not touch it.

PS Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada has clearly stated one is not fully free from Jnana and karma untill one chants 64 rounds for many years ,everything else is some misplaced sentimentality.

In the conversation between Ramananda Raya and Lord Caitanya the very beginning is about varnaasrama:
CC Madhya 8.57: Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu ordered Rāmānanda Rāya, "Recite a verse from the revealed scriptures concerning the ultimate goal of life."Rāmānanda replied, "If one executes the prescribed duties of his social position, he awakens his original Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
CC Madhya 8.58: "'The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Viṣṇu, is worshiped by the proper execution of prescribed duties in the system of varṇa and āśrama. There is no other way to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One must be situated in the institution of the four varṇas and āśramas.'"

Obvious if one falls from the position of his sannyasa asrama he is not even properly situated in the varna asrama,then one will not even start to come to the next level,devotional service has not really started, one is unfit for bhakti,what to speak of being a Guru or sannyasi, rubber stamping oneself as a Prabhupada disciple ,Guru and sannyasi is thus all useless,those who then believe in such bodily concept of life is a rascal,no better than an animal..two legged animal

CC Madhya 8.59: The Lord replied, "This is external. You had better tell Me of some other means."Rāmānanda replied, "To offer the results of one's activities to Kṛṣṇa is the essence of all perfection."
