The GBC Strategic Planning Team (GBCSPT) serves the GBC by offering strategic advice, guidance and solutions for the benefit of the whole of ISKCON
Srila Prabhupada wanted the GBC to lead ISKCON through good governance and to establish global policies. He also wanted ISKCON to expand,thrive, be well rooted, and to serve the needs of its devotees and the public alike.
GBC Strategic Planning Team (GBCSPT), has been helping the GBC explore the ways in which ISKCON needs to grow-up into the vibrant movement Srila Prabhupada wanted it to be, and then developing strategies to support that growth. Our motto is “More devotees, happier devotees”.
The GBC’s strategic planning focuses on a set of broad initiatives
Strengthening Our Foundations | Building Capacity for Leadership | Expanding Outreach | Devotee Care | Bringing the Plan into the World of Action
the zonal acharyas eclipsed Srila Prabhupada, and the GBC is to blame for that. As Tamal Krishna Gosvami declared, Srila Prabhupada didn´t appoint anybody as guru. Only those who were qualified according to the principles of guru tattva that Srila Prabhupada established, should have become initiating regular gurus. The GBC had to admit that the zonal acharya system was a big mistake, and even the BTG issued an apology by supporting this corrupted and unauthorized system, that caused havoc in the Hare Krishna movement.
We have been observing FISKCON`s unhealthy dynamics for a while now and it struck us with wonder; the sheer amount of devious activities that individuals can get away with, provided that they are willing to follow well rehearsed and established criminal code of FISKCON`s criminal elite. The criminal code in its self is quite simple; as long as you are able and/or willing to act nice, dress nicely, be well behaved and soft spoken, become skilled at speaking stories fictitiously, dramatically and emotionally, fake it that you are advanced, be able to plausibly lie at any time, place, or circumstances, glorify the wonderful activities and imaginary qualities of the rest of the criminals within the FISKCON Corporation regardless how oxymoronic they may be, just be externally nice and pleasant fellow, and DO NOT speak the truth, turn a blind eye to any criminal activity you see, do not point out philosophical deviations, do not point the breaking of any moral, ethical and spiritual standards given to us by His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda and previous Ācārya, and under any circumstance do not criticize.
"He's is the best of all lairs ,how dare this THIEF over ride his spiritual master.This fool and his little henchmen are actually booking there tickets for Yamaloka ."SHOCKING"👹
I empathize with her situation. Regrettably, this is a prevalent issue not only in Western Christian nations but also in Islamic countries. HARE KRISHNA 🙏🏾
Thank you for this wonderful video. I have a quick question that I hope that you can help me with. In the very beginning of the talk it was said by Srila Prabhupada that the Acintya Bhedabheda Tattva philosophy is very similar to that of Sri Ramanujacharya's philosophy of Vishishtadvaita Vedanta. Can someone please tell me what the differences are between these two philosophies please?
Srila prabhupad said many times “one lie is followed by many further lies to cover the 1st lie . This is what hridayanand maharaj one of the eleven is doing . 2 of the eleven have given a testimony that they were never appointed Diksha guru namely tamal and hansadutt !!! When will hridayanand confess !!!
The movement would have grown even more had these 11people / gbc accepted the officiating position 1) consider the no of disciples who had to reinitiate several times over and over go thru pain 2) the no. Of wounded devotees who have been thrown out / banned etc because they asked the correct question to these 11 gurus
Jayapatak lied purposely when he 1st visited the gaudiya math . He told them that they were appointed acharya’s and not the truth “ officiating Gurus “
He is putting all the blame on goudiya math and the pressure from his godbrothers . The honest answer should be they all wanted to be controllers and not das Satsvarup quote “ why should I be just a priest . I want the pie “
This is sadly very disturbing. I was 40 mins in and had to stop watching...maybe I'll continue later ....it has really put me off ISKCON...such intolerance and lack of respect and love within a movement I had recently become so curious about and attracted to. And it's interesting to note this interview is nearly 4 years old yet only has 317 likes. People need to stand up for what is right. This has put me off but my love of Kirtan & Bhakti will always remain. God is Love people...of ALL PEOPLE. I pray for understanding, acceptance and Peace in this journey called life 🙏🏾🇯🇲🇬🇧✨💖🎵🌻🦋🌼🌹+ ☯️🕉✝️☪️ please unite, the world is hurting 😢 OK so I made it to the end while typing!....God Bless you Acyuta Gopi ...wise words & Thank you Gopi Gita Schomaker for facilitating this necessary conversation 🙏🏾💛
Acharyadeva es not a name, is a title, is a way to refer to one´s guru. Prabhupada called his own guru acharyadeva. It was also a huge mistake to accept the devas and padas titles as if they were personal names. This is why the GBC In a resolution prohibited them from continuing to use those names.
I discovered Acyuta Gopi just this week as I was listening to Kirtans by Krishna Das. Krishna Das has been called "Grandfather of Chants". Well I just found the "Grandmother of all Chants"!!!! I was so mesmerized and blown away by her voice that I had to google her just to know who she is and that led me to this video. I have never ever heard a voice packed with emotion, connection and spirituality and more.... It breaks my heart to hear that Acyuta Gopi has encountered racism throughout her life. Not just in school but in ISKON (the last place I thought racism existed). Acyuta is beautiful in every sense and her color is the color of Krishna! Krishna made her in his own image and Krishna does not make mistakes! Acyuta is exactly who she was meant to be. A woman who is strong, secure and comfortable in her skin ....inspiring us all. Those who have not heard her sing please find her on Kirtan Oasis channel titled "Radhe Govinda" and be blow away right to the abode of Krishna!!! Jai Shri Krishna and love to all 🙏
Hare Krsna Maharaj, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you Maharaj Thank you for such nectar, always; your classes are always so inspiring & beautiful!!
I am in love with black colour because it's the colour of Krishna ......i appreciate your tolerance level and it's very sad to hear this ........but acyuta mataji your kirtans are mind blowing and they are changing my life please continue kirtans as long as possible
Geez, did she attend Nazi Junior High School? What a nightmare. 💗 to you, Sis. Good that despite hardships, you stayed with Krishna, with satsang and with Sanatam Dharm. Namaste 🙏🤗
Just saw this video. As a member of ISKCON for 45 years, there has not been a single time when there was no racial prejudice in ISKCON. The leaders have always been the biggest culprit. The GBC, the gurus etc. We face it all the time as black bodies.
As a Indian Hindu from tribe of Lord Krishna, my blood boils whn I hear such kind discriminatory practices.😡 Lord Krishna is himself of dark complexion,they should also practice discrimination with Lord.🙄
