List of ISKCON sannyasis

[gaura...@gmail.com]

More evidence why Prabhupada could not have possibly envisioned that his disciples were qualified to officiate as full-fledged diksa-gurus, list below, sannyasis of that time are almost all fallen down.  Prabhupada even stating that he is very disappointed with all these falldowns. After seeing so many sannyasis falling down, why would he appoint the same kind of neophytes to sit on the vyasasana and, again, create even more havoc/catastrophes, by falling down from the post of diksa-guru? Problem seems, that people figure, yes, Prabhupada is a great devotee of the Lord, but somehow things got out of his control and, yes, therefore all those scandals happened.No, genuine Vaishnavas cannot present such tamasic understanding but have to bang one's fist on the table.

Wikipedia: The following is a list of current sannyasi gurus (the renounced order of life within the Hindu system of āśramas) in the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (also known as the Hare Krishnas and ISKCON)^[1]. Sannyasis are authorised by the Governing Body Commission^[2] after rigorous assessment and referral by the ISKCON Sannyasa Ministry^[3]. Sannyasis are notable as revered gurus within ISKCON, most may initiate disciples, and many hold leadership positions in the Governing Body Commission and as Zonal Secretaries with regional responsibilities^[4].
