There are many ” versions ” of ISKCON. Quite naturally, ISKCON is a lot of different things to a lot of different people who are situated in a lot of different situations both materially and spiritually. This shows the broadness and success of the mission that Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has carried out .If anyone tells you, ISKCON is one thing for a particular type of person. You’ll know they have a long way to go .Each person naturally develops their own sense of discrimination and naturally select particular sadhu sangas or sastra sangas , these paths should always align with the Gaudia Vaisnava param para acaryas, and should be able to be seen within the conversations that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu had with Ramananda Roy…..
