The infiltration of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) by unscrupulous elements, often referred to as "flesh-eating demons" or "rakshasas," is a challenge that threatens the purity and integrity of Srila Prabhupada's mission. To save ISKCON and continue its spiritual revolution, a multi-pronged approach is necessary, focusing on education, empowerment, transparency, and unity among its members. Here's a detailed plan:
Education and Awareness:
- Study Srila Prabhupada's Teachings: Deepen your understanding of Srila Prabhupada's original teachings. Familiarize yourself with his books, lectures, and letters to discern his true intentions and avoid misinterpretations.
- Recognize the Symptoms of Infiltration: Learn to identify the signs of infiltration, such as deviations from Srila Prabhupada's teachings, unchecked power, corruption, and exploitation.
Empowerment and Unity:
- Empower the Membership: Encourage and support ISKCON members to take responsibility for their spiritual growth and the well-being of the society. Foster a culture of active participation and critical thinking.
- Promote Unity and Cooperation: Bridge the gaps between different temples, projects, and initiatives. Encourage open communication, collaboration, and mutual support among ISKCON members worldwide.
Transparency and Accountability:
- Demand Transparency: Advocate for open and transparent governance within ISKCON. Push for regular audits, public reporting, and accountability from its leaders and management.
- Establish Grievance Mechanisms: Ensure there are fair and effective processes for addressing grievances, misconduct, and abuse within the society.
Reform and Restructuring:
- Reform the Governing Body Commission (GBC): Advocate for a more representative, transparent, and accountable GBC. Push for term limits, regular elections, and a clear code of conduct for its members.
- Decentralize Decision-Making: Encourage local autonomy and decision-making power to temples and communities, while maintaining unity and cooperation under Srila Prabhupada's guidance.
Spiritual Revolution:
- Focus on Srila Prabhupada's Mission: Keep the focus on Srila Prabhupada's original mission: spreading Krishna consciousness, promoting spiritual revolution, and benefiting all living beings.
- Engage in Practical Service: Encourage and engage in practical service, such as distributing Srila Prabhupada's books, caring for cows, teaching Krishna consciousness, and supporting humanitarian projects.
