seeing through the eyes of scriptures





 Have we all failed Srila Prabhupada?

 Have we all failed Srila Prabhupada?
dear devotees
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
 Everyone is pointing fingers to everyone and this is why ISKCON is not going strong as it could ,the fact is we are all at fault.
Now ISKCON has expanded in buildings and congregational members especially in India, but the sad part is has the purity of all its members?
Have we all become fully KC?
In the midst of so much good, the problem is our individual KC is lacking ,we are not fully surrendered to Krsna and we are holding back.
Srila Prabhupada once said, if everyone in ISKCON was fully KC the movement could spread all over the world in 18 days.
So where is the faults we have to work on?
Number one there is only one founder acarya in ISKCON ,Srila Prabhupada 
number 2 ,it is actually 64 rounds that is the standard of Lord Caitanya ,no other standard is acceptabel(minimum 16 is for neophytes,but given
by Srila Prabhupada in hope his neophyte disciples would advance to Lord Caitanyas standard)
3 Srila Prabhupadas , books ,lectures and letters are the foundation of ISKCON
4 the distribution of Srila Prabhupadas books and the acaryas ,constitutes real service to Mayapure Dhama
5 it is the duty of all ISKCON members to engage in Harinama and bookdistribution and prasadam distribution
6 no leading members of ISKCON and otherwise should hoard wealth for personal prestige and comfort, but as all is the property of Sri Krsna
should be used  only for propagating KC, this life only last a few days and accumulating to much wealth is unfavorable for KC
all wealth belongs to Krsna the master of all Laxmidevis that originate from Sarva Laxmi,Sri Radha
7 The "bullying" mentality needs to go and proper civilized vaisnava behavior needs to be established in ISKCON at all times 
8  all TP's ,GB's and sannyasis are not above the laws of a country or above the teachings of Srila Prabhupada
If these 8 principles are followed ISKCON can succeed as envisioned by Srila Prabhupada
The loss of even one soul from leaving Srila Prabhupadas and Lord Caitanys lotusfeet is the greatest loss.....
Cooperation is why Srila PRabhupada established  the Direction of Management, envy  is not the ornament of a vaisnava but of a nondevotee.By the Direction of Management ISKCON can be protected better from corruption and I hope the GBC and devotees in general will again consider this document, it is no" ritvik document" but written by Srila Prabhupada
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada has clearly stated one can never become a pure vaisnava over time unless and untill one daily chants
100.000 names of Krsna, 64 rounds of the Hare Krsna Mahamantra,personally I have  faith in this instruction..we all should have.
No temple members should see other devotees and congregation with only dollar signs in their eyes.......
and purity is the force at all times, places and circumstances
And yes 18 days, is the example of Krsna using the Pandavas, we are not on that level of the Lords ,Nitya parishads,eternal associates
but we should  not be lazy in spreading KC.And never shy away from Harinama ,bookdistribution and Prasadam distribution.
your servant
