So far, an accurate and objective account has not been fully written or recorded in terms of the mistakes that were made during the 80s in those difficult early days of ISKCON, as Prabhupāda finished his services externally, having established ISKCON.
The truths of Guru Tattva or the origins of the soul has been recorded by the Goswamis and our acaryas, we should never have strayed independently from traditions of Gaudia Vaisnavism its a serious mistake and should be accounted for and corrected.
The founder acarya of ISKCON His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had intended for Gaudia Vaisnava to continue in its historic traditions , it does not take much research to understand what they are.
Every historical account ever written by our Gaudia acaryas that are contained in the Sruti should not differ from ISKCON .
The zonal acarya system set up was incorrect, as was the over emphasise on Diksa Gurus , and a reluctance of teaching the importance of Siksa Gurus , through the current and previous Acaryas , as clearly described by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur.
Unfortunately, we are left with a silent history or, at most vague hints, at what might have happened or who made decisions. They were difficult days, the men and ladies were young , inexperienced , but Prabhupada instructed them to seek help with Tattva from Srila Sridhar Swami , they did not want to hear his advice , which was to follow traditions of Diksa and Siksa .
Because of not following the traditions of Guru tattva , speculations were abound , early leaders forced Grhastas to be in a Sannyasa ashram to keep the management body strong , Guru tattva and management of the society were linked hand in hand , that was not Prabhupada’s desire or specific orders at that time , but rather is was a series of cobbled together ideas , and nothing to do with Gaudia Vaisnava historic traditions.
The GBC , at that time became belligerent and head strong , Srila Sridhar Swami and later HH Narayana Maharaja were isolated , and ISKCON devotees found themselves locked into a system of management and spiritual guidance that was wrong .
Even though bad mistakes were made , that jeopardised the faith of spiritual lives of many , ISKCON stayed together as a society and is still functioning worldwide in wonderful ways . Its my belief that this is due to many reasons, including and primarily because Prabhupada wanted it to , and also its the desire of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, its also my belief that over the many years the so called enemies of ISKCON, Srila Sridhar Swami and Srila Narayana Maharaja, have greatly helped ISKSON, to stabalise and to advance Prabhupada’s movement. Indeed, they were great friends of Prabhupada.
I would also like to see official acknowledgements of these events , to record the accurate histories and to make sure misunderstandings are cleared up and Tattva is reestablished in every way Currently there is still an over emphasise on the position of Diksa , and also a misunderstanding , namely, the need of devotees to study our acaryas literatures in our historic param para , also still the misunderstanding of our origins , which is with Krishna from His expansion as Balarama , needs to be taught , Ultimately we came from a spirtual world, because Balarama is in the Spiritual world , He is offering us service there , those that don’t not take the offer , experience the Mahavishnu aspect of Balarama, through the three Visnu forms overseeing the independent jivas within the material worlds .
