vaisnava seva or ahankara seva?

Some talk about vaisnava seva when it is really about their selfinterest.Generally real  vaisnavas never like to take anyones seva.

In the name of seva many take huge salaries for being leaders in ISKCON that is against the real vaisnava Srila Prabhupadasinstruction.

They will not even stop taking grains on Janmastami and other Visnuttatva apperance days , though it is against sastra.

In the name of vaisnava seva they collect millions for their own sensegratification and comfort.

They give lectures for money and sell the holy name for money (socalled vaisnava seminars for example) , all ahankara seva

They sell ISKCON property .....

They fail to increase daily Harinama and bookdistribution in the temples though it is the instruction of Srila Prabhupada and the desire

of all our vaisnava acaryas

They run giftshops for their own personal profit, bingo hall and so many other nonsense things.

Vaisnava seva ? Certainly not, service to their Ahankaras.

How about all the real vaisnavas in our line that has asked us to chant 64 rounds daily as is the instruction of Lord Caitanya and asked us to avoid the 10 offences? Lets start with this vaisnava seva kicking all selfishness aside, instead of comforting in the temple we should go

and preach pure KC, not this ahankara seva.Srila Prabhupada stressed temples are not for eating and sleeping but bases from where devotees  distribute books..this isvara bhava that comes from being a manager is very dangerous and easy becomes ahankara,I am superior..from there one is sure to fall down from bhakti..trying to get a permanent position in a temporary world...that is ahankara nothing else, vaisnava seva ?Certainly not....

Yes we are increasing the congregation so we can sit down and comfort and water down the philosophy of KC?..all ahankara seva
