The Tragedy of All Great Religions, and Thus of ISKCON; is That After the Founder’s Disappearance, the Original Intent of the Founder is Forgotten; Prabhupada Called it “Churchianity”.

Segment 10: The Authoritarian/Masochistic Character
Segment 11: The Result
Segment 12: Conclusion
Segment 13: ISKCON Book Banning
Segment 1: The Process of Krishna Consciousness is Scientific” not dogmatic
Segment 2: We Have Heard Repeatedly That This Path is a Science, But How Scientific Are We in Our Approach?
Segment 3: In preaching Krishna Consciousness There Can be no Question of Compromise, But There is Tact
Segment 4: The False Security of Running With the Herd
Segment 5: We Should all Become Adept Philosopher-Scientists and Sift the Data Ourselves
Segment 1: In an authoritarian System Groupthink is Practiced Instead of Collegiality
Segment 2: We Have to Give Up the Association of Rajo-guna and Tamo-guna. Then There is Question of Progress. Otherwise, it is Simply a Bluff
Segment 3: The Crux of the Problem Facing Us Was a Loss of Fellowship Among Srila Prabhupada’s Disciples
Segment 1: Bhaktivinoda Thakura makes a distinction between two kinds of mindsets of two kinds of spiritual seekers, the komala shraddha and the madhyama adhikari
Segment 2: A madhyama, seeks other madhyamas for association to discuss the Absolute Truth
Segment 1: The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries
Segment 2: There is no way for all to be leaders. The leaders will be a small percentage of the population. No more than 2%. Moreover, the majority; the masses, are the followers
Segment 3: They first are attached to an idea, find something in the wide range of scripture, or commentaries, that seems to support their attachment, convince themselves, that they have “philosophized”, and go forward from there
Segment 1: Srila Prabhupada warned us that the Greatest Threat to a Spiritual Institution is From Within; and therefore, I extrapolate, that warning, and say that the Greatest Theart to Your Personal Spiritual Life, is the same, whether you are alone or a member of group loosely, or well organized Vaisnavas. The Greatest Threat, is the same as that which RUINED ISKCON, and that Threat, is From Within Yourself
Segment 2: Deeply Buried Irrational Motivation is Never Obvious to the Individual Harboring It
Segment 3: Authoritarian Dynamics Should be Questioned
Segment 4: It is Easier to Determine Our Condition Than We Realize If one's subjective experience of life in ISKCON falls more in the category of authoritarian dynamics than a humanitarian experience
Another symptom of the humanitarian dynamic is collegiality
In authoritarian dynamics the conclusion is foregone, and all discussion is a token gesture
Segment 5: Conclusions Part 1: ISKCON and the Majority of its Followers Have a “SPOT”, or Have “DIRT”, or Have “MUD”, and Possibly Have “SHIT” on their FACE, so to Speak; and That Fact you can Take to the Bank!
Segment 6: Conclusions Part 2: This has been a humble, yet bold attempt to “distinguish reality, from the illusion, that has overcome the leaders of ISKCON, and also to aid the innocent rank and file devotees who support ISKCON, in waking up from their “coma”.

For the Distressed, Desirer of Wealth, Inquisitive, & Those Searching for Knowledge of the Absolute
On November 14, 2023 it Will Have Been 1.45 Billion Seconds, Since Srila Prabhupada's Depafture
In India, born a man named Abhay,
With a mission that would pave the way,
For enlightenment, truth, and devotion,
Srila Prabhupada, his deep emotion.
He travelled to the West alone,
Leaving behind all he had known,
With a humble heart and a fiery zeal,
To spread the word, to make it real.
With Bhagavad-gita as his guide,
And Krishna consciousness by his side,
He founded a movement, a way of life,
For those seeking peace amid strife.
Temples and books he established,
Sacred mantras he chanted,
The Hare Krishna movement he ignited,
A new era of spirituality, soon ignited.
His teachings and love continue to inspire,
Millions around the world, whom he did inspire,
Srila Prabhupada, a true spiritual guide,
Whose mission and legacy forever will abide.
Oh, readers keen to know the purpose that is true,
Of Saragrahi.Org, that is born anew.
First, I must draw your attention close,
To the reason why I chose,
To revive and enhance this old website,
And bring it once more into the light.
Listen closely, for a story of inspiration,
Of a website born anew, with dedication.
The purpose clear, to revive and enhance,
Bringing light to Srila Prabhupada’s glorious dance.
It's been 24.8 million minutes,
Since Srila Prabhupada departed;
His breath of Earth's atmosphere, ceased,
Leaving behind a legacy so great.
But his vision of ISKCON does not extend,
To the institution we see today,
In name only does it stay.
Despite 402,00 Hours since Prabhupada’s departure,
His vision of ISKCON will never bend,
And so, this website shines anew,
To guide us all to a purpose true.
16,790 Days have come and gone,
Since Srila Prabhupada departed on,
As time went by, it is clear to me,
The world needs his teachings inherently.
Once more, his wisdom we must heed,
For our lives to truly succeed.
2,399 Weeks have come and gone,
But Srila Prabhupada’s teachings live on,
And in this time, we have felt a need,
To share his wisdom, for all to heed.
Listen, ye all, both young and old,
562 months have come and gone,
Since Prabhupada bid farewell,
A sage whose wisdom we cling on.
Before you delve in deep, my friends,
Recall the reason why I strive,
To keep this website up and running,
And bring truth to all, to thrive.
Prabhupada’s legacy, a shining light,
Guiding souls to truth and peace,
Such wisdom must be shared with might,
For it is a treasure, worth to seize.
So let us all, with fervent heart,
Carry on his noble quest,
And spread his teachings far and wide,
Till every soul finds true rest.
Inquisitive, reader be inspired to delve in deep,
For this website’s purpose will surely keep,
To bring this truth to all mankind,
A message of love, devotion, and peace divine.
In the fringes lurks a tiny spark,
Of Prabhupada's mission, now dark.
Its leaders and their subordinates,
Are corrupt, immoral, unethical, and dishonest.
Crooked, shady, deceitful, and false,
They are untruthful, duplicitous, and double-crossed.
Two-faced, tricky, and wicked too,
Evil, depraved, malevolent, and malicious through and through.
They are murderers, assassins, sinners, and Vaisnava Aparadhadis.
Described as demons, asuras, and rakshasas in scriptures akin.
May the Lord above guide us through,
And save us from the grasp of such a treacherous crew.
ISCKON is now dark and grim,
Corruption and abuse seeped within.
Leaders failed to uphold sacred vows,
Victims silenced; justice disavowed.
The media exposed the horror show,
But still, some refuse to let it go.
The leaders and their cohorts,
Must face their inner demons,
For failure to do so,
Leads to fate with outer demon beings.
Offences to Srila Prabhupada,
Can they truly make amends?
It seems doubtful in their pursuits,
Driven solely by greed's trends.
Eleven who took over his mission,
When questioned for their act,
Their reply was prabhu, only money,
Leaving spirituality in neglect.
Can they realize their wrongful ways,
And correct their chosen path?
Or will they stay engulfed in darkness,
Ignoring their moral aftermath?
In Prabhupada's footsteps we tread,
With devotion and love in our head,
Our mission is to spread his word,
And make sure his message is heard.
But as we journey along this path,
We face many obstacles and wrath,
For corruption has crept in our midst,
And our resolve is put to the test.
But we will not falter or fail,
Our efforts will forever prevail,
For we are the sincere disciples and followers of Prabhupada,
And we will not let his legacy fade away.
We have exposed the corruption and wrongs,
And strive to correct them in our songs,
With truth and righteousness as our guide,
We will uphold Prabhupada's message with pride.
So let us together, as one,
Restore Prabhupada’s Mission, to its former run,
And uphold the good name of our Spiritual Master,
For his teachings shall live on forever after.
A new generation brings hope,
With fresh ideas and a wider scope.
They seek to rebuild trust and faith,
To honor the teachings of the Eternal Faith.
ISKCON has burned to ashes,
Its spirit is like stone.
It can still rise from the ashes and atone.
For the true essence of its creed,
Is love and compassion, indeed.
In Kali Yuga, the age of gold,
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we hold,
A beacon of love and devotion,
With wisdom and selfless emotion.
He preached the Yuga-dharma and the path of Bhakti,
To rid the world of evil and disunity,
For 10,000 years, His teachings will spread far and wide,
Bringing hope to all who abide.
His Golden Age will be filled with grace,
A time of peace and divine embrace,
Where hearts are pure and minds clear,
And souls are free from all fear.
Oh, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
We bow to thee with gratitude,
For the light you brought to our world,
And the love and joy you unfurled.
Oh, cruel fate, how swift thy hand doth move,
To rob us of the one we hold so dear,
As 46 years have swiftly passed from view,
Since Prabhupada left, shedding many a tear.
And yet we linger on, in sorrow's hold,
Our grief as fresh as on that fateful day,
With hearts so heavy, burdened and so cold,
Unsure of what to do, or what to say.
Should we not honor him in every way?
As his memory echoes through the years,
And in our hearts his teachings still do play,
Filling us with hope and driving out fears.
So let us raise our voices and chant the Holy Name,
And vow to keep his teachings bright and true,
For though he is physically gone, his instructions remain,
And we shall carry it 'til our lives are through.
