Because there has been so much abuse, within the Catholic Church and also in ISKCON, people distrust Gurus. I want to emphasise that there are benevolent teachers who are real brahmans and they sacrifice everything for the upliftment of their disciples and humanity. Those in the mode of goodness should worship Vishnu (recommended in the scriptures), because He is the one who grants liberation. Mukunda is another name for the one who grants liberation.
Krishna predicted :
"For 10,000 years of Kali such devotees of Mine will fill the whole planet.After the departure of My devotees there will be only one varna [outcaste]."
A dialogue between Krishna and Ganga found in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana describes that for the first 10,000 years of Kali Yuga, the ill effects of Kali Yuga will be reduced due to the presence of bhakti yogis and the ability to nullify sinful reactions, after which Earth will be devoid of devout religious people and be shackled by Kali Yuga.

As I said before, I combine this with Bhakti Yoga, chanting every day. I also believe that more women should be involved and allowed.
The following quotes from Srila Prabhupada’s letters and conversations seem to verify that it can indeed be supported by the Acharya.
“If a woman is perfect in Krsna consciousness … Just like Jahnava devi, Lord Nityananda’s wife, she was acarya. She was acarya. She was controlling the whole Vaisnava community…. It is not that woman cannot be acarya.” (Conversation 6/29/72)
