The Current Structure of ISKCON Explained (Chart)



[PADA: OK there are maybe ten people in the temple, and then there are ten different committees in charge of each of them? Here we go: 

The I.D.C, 
The L.D.C, 
The L.L.A.C., 
The N.I.D.C.,
The W.I.D.C.,
The E.I.D.C.,
The S.I.D.C.,
The bureau (Basu Ghosh), 
The G.B.C. (Mayapura), 
The G.S.C. (guru services committee), 
The S.A.C. (shastra advisory committee -- Urmila etc.), 

and all sorts of bits and bobs free agents like Bhakti Vikas swami who does not seem to work under any of these committees. And then we have had:

The Srila Prabhupada position committee, 
The parallel lines of authority committee, 
The ISKCON legal advisory committee, 

and who knows what else they have had over the past decades. 

And what is purport of all these assembled committees? Ummm, to teach the world that acharyas are often debauchees, and we need to bury deviants and porno swamis in samadhis? This is partly why we rejected the Christian faith, they had made a huge: 

mundane bureaucracy

out of the religion. 

One poor lady wrote to ask PADA, I'd like to forward a complaint to the GBC, but I have no idea who to write to with my complaint? Hee hee, right, its a giant kerfluffle that even they cannot unravel. The first problem with their chart is that Krishna is at the top, fine, but then their alleged Krishna's pure representation parampara of gurus are falling down left, right and center. Anyway, a few people were laughing their socks off at this chart, and we have to agree, its looks like they have gone into an extreme state of arrogance thinking they are all part of some sort of important layers and layers and layers of committees, all to manage maybe a dozen people living at a temple, while the rest of us think their whole process is a farce. ys pd 
   

More gurus than devotees at the temple?
