The ISKCON Movement: Between Desire to Restore and Scandal Thousands of ISKCON members are shouting for restoration to the way Prabhupada designed his movement. Though awake devotees are too educated to directly confront the guru’s hijackers or those voted by the GBC, the comic imitators of acharya are aware of what everyone thinks about their attitude. ISKCON’s leadership has sheltered in their private castles, avoiding the uncomfortable gaze of contempt. Tension grows, lack of transparency, formerly their best defense, turns against them now.
