This subject will never be discussed by any devotee,so I will .Many have left ISKCON because they where in maya or because there might have been some maya in the temple, or combination of the 2.I once left the temple because I was forced to sell illegal paintings, and I only wanted to distribute books.So many examples I have in my own spiritual life /.One disciple of mine Radharani devi dasi asked some questions in ISKCON Bangalore.
And was asked to never ever come back ,then later they called her , please send donations.Such nonsense.
Actually our mind should be our temple.The Kanistha only sees Krsna in the temple.ISKCON often act like a sect and cult and reject sincere devotees.If they do not fit in to any damned mismanagement.
I once left a temple in Denmark because the TP was a thief and everyone knew it, and Harikesa was also a thief andf many of this leading disciples as well.
Make the heart your temple , do not leave Srila Prabhupadas lotusfeet keep practicing KC, follow 4 regs and chant minimum 16 rounds.mama mana mandire raha niśi-din kṛṣṇa murāri śrī kṛṣṇa murāri
Please abide in the temple of my heart both day and night, O Krsna Murari, O Sri Krsna Murari!
Gaura Govinda Maharaja stated in ISKCON Potomac in 1995,"Sometimes the temple president think he is Krsna and kicks out devotee for no good reason".
Later I was asked to leave the temple because I was opposing demigod worship and Satya Narayaan Pujas there.
Ramabhadra das in New York does not want me to even take darshan of Radha Govinda because I am opposed to the Bingo hall at the temple and meat eating there.I think Radha Govinda has left the temple and entered my heart.(Of course still He can remain on the alter in His arca Vigraha form) .We should not limit Krishna and see Him everywhere.Then we are never lost to Him and we are not lost to our real identity as eternal servants of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna .Hari das Thakura was also banned from entering Jagannath Mandir, but Lord Jagannatha came as Lord Caitanya to give Haridas Thakura darshan every day.So to all you rejected and banned devotees out there.Krsna has not left you.
