Medical updates from the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) note that Kratu Das is 82 years old and has developed a rapid health decline following an aggressive form of cancer. The cancer originated elsewhere and metastasized into his liver and lymph nodes and other areas, which is a structural and oncological failure entirely unrelated to dietary lifestyle.
This perspective highlights a fundamental challenge: how can someone be called a "master" if they appear helpless against physical suffering? It is a fair question, especially when a leader claims to teach others how to transcend material suffering.
By shifting from a single, universally respected founder - Srila Prabhupada - to a system of living, but highly fallible Western gurus, the movement introduced a high-stakes spiritual gamble. When several of those prominent gurus suffered high-profile moral, financial, or psychological crashes, the psychological safety net for Western seekers vanished. For a regular Westerner, staying with Jesus Christ— whose position is fixed, timeless, and secure from modern scandals — became the logical choice to "play it safe."
The largest financial resources, administrative decisions, and massive temple constructions — such as the multi-million dollar Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP) in Mayapur and projects in Vrindavan — are centered entirely in India.
In Western countries (the US, UK, Canada, and Europe), the vast majority of temple congregations are no longer Western devotees, but rather Indian diaspora families seeking a cultural and spiritual connection to their homeland.
Because converting the native Western population came to a halt after the guru scandals of the 1980s and 1990s, the GBC adapted to survive by serving the traditional Hindu community, both within India and abroad.
PADA: Did I forget to mention, there is a cancer epidemic in the Krishna society, when there should not be one? ys pd

WHAT IS HINDUISM? (Sadh Guru)
PADA: There you have it folks. Why has ISKCON gone Hindu? Because you can worship Lord Siva, a cow, a snake, a bamboo pole, Santa Claus, a rock, your cat or your dog, or worship nothing and no one at all, and still be a Hindu. And therefore you can worship the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara, what is the problem? So there is no real standard of worship.
My Hindu friend all the time sends me "Krishnamurti" videos. And in one of them he says "God was simply created by your mind." Oh great, there is a big switcheroo! God does not create me, I created God with my mind. That makes me and my mind pretty powerful since I can then create God.
But while I am quite capable of creating God, I am not capable of manifesting hundred dollar bills? What kind of person has the name "Krishnamurti" and he thinks, there is no actual Krishna anywhere?
What Krishnamurti actually said across multiple talks: Krishnamurti argues:
“God is your concept.”
He says this directly when discussing whether God exists, explaining that the idea of God arises from human thought, fear, and conditioning.
Belief in God is a projection of the mind.
In his "The First and Last Freedom," he states that belief in God is “merely a self‑projection and therefore not real.” This means the mind creates an image of God and then worships its own creation.
The conditioned mind invents God. He emphasizes that our ideas of God come from culture, tradition, and psychological need — not from direct insight.
He questions: “Did God create us, or did we create God?”
In Q&A sessions, he pushes listeners to examine whether the human mind invented the idea of God.
OK so there is no such thing as a God named Krishna, since -- we mentally created Krishna ourselves. This is simply another example of the lack of discrimination and thoughtful analysis by a number of Hindus, and the fact many Hindus listen to this type of -- covert atheist -- guy as their spiritual authority. And that is why the Hindus are the number one customers for GBC gurus, they often lack discrimination and that is why Srila Prabhupada says they are "a hodge podge."
Another Hindu friend sent me a video where they were arguing -- atheists are superior to theists because -- they often behave better. OK so we should deny the existence of God, to make a better behaving society? What is the point of this argument? Nobody knows, it is all hodge podge.
Worse! Unfortunately just as often -- atheistic and communistic countries -- do not have a good track record of human rights and care for the citizens either, so it is sort of a non-argument. But many Hindus listen to all these sorts of things and consider this all important spiritual understanding from achayas, gurus, swamis, yogis, avatars etc. It isn't. But it does explain why GBC gurus do so well in India and not the West.
One devotee told PADA, the reason India is baking under extreme heat is -- they listen to all these bogus spiritual authorities. So now they have to figure out how to mentally make the heat go away, since they are the persons who mentally make God and everything within their minds. Lets see how well they can cool off India with their minds. Maybe they are going to figure out, they are not creating God, or India's heating problems, or cooling solutions, or anything else, and they are subordinate to a higher power. Well yup!

Kanta das: People of India origin are too humble, and prone to be misguided. When the British rulers spit on them -- they will say the rain is drizzling. In order to stop the British onslaught and oppression one wise man advised -- in order to stop and dismantle the British -- first you have to stop and dismantle the Indians that are propping up the British and that was the solution for freedom.
Similarly it's the Indians that are giving life to these false gurus. And that is why they make India their main area of preaching and influence. They have mostly abandoned the West.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Who is the real Radhanath swami
He just told me never to publish anything about him ever on the internet as people just criticize him. So I told him that, the first thing anyone does is that they search your name when they hear about you. Once you launch your book the first thing they will see is that article.
I have since renounced any connection to him, and recommend anyone who has any interest in him to please do their research first. As far as Henry Doktorski's book goes, the cover and title are sensationalist and so it will end up being just a book for preaching to the choir and will not be accepted as being of value for people who actually need to hear the information inside of it.
I hope that he will consider changing his presentation at least on the cover so that it could be of more value for people who really need to hear it.
October 1, 1989: On this date in history 34 years ago, Radhanath Swami (in Pune, India) writes an inspiring letter to Sulochan’s murderer—Tirtha in prison—and explains, “Without a goal worth dying for we have nothing worthwhile to live for. Any shallow creature can speak these words. Very few most fortunate souls have the courage and integrity to engrave these words within the heart of hearts and remain faithful in the face of life and death.”

Who is the real Radhanath swami
Radha Madhava Dasa writes as follows:
Yes, I was the one who told Radhanath Swami he had to clean up his internet image. I was his disciple at the time, and was in charge of his media in the USA. His book was coming out and when you googled his name the only thing that came up was "Radhanath Swami Murder Conspirator" from the article on harekrsna.com
He just told me never to publish anything about him ever on the internet as people just criticize him. So I told him that, the first thing anyone does is that they search your name when they hear about you. Once you launch your book the first thing they will see is that article.
I told him that you have to have positive information out there to counteract the negative. So he gave me $2000 in cash and told me to take care of it.
We built a website with a few videos with him in it, but it didn't have much impact. He then hired a PR firm from Seattle and paid them $10,000 to create a bunch of fake websites about him with fake reviews written by a non-devotees.
That didn't work, so we engaged a hacker to try to take down the article, but that didn't work either.

So he engaged his entire congregation in Mumbai and around the world to create as many websites as possible, and their devotional service was to every day go to all the websites and click on the links and write glowing reviews.
He also had them all sign up for pre-purchase and to all buy his book on Amazon as soon as it came out so it would become a bestseller.

I met the brand ambassador for Google at burning man, and introduced Radhanath Swami to him. I believe they have been in touch since and have made arrangements for his total Google domination in the search results.
Since that time I have become disillusioned with Radhanath Swami, and have seen that indeed the articles which he was trying to cover up are actually true, as I have witnessed from his character, behavior and choices. When my sister approached him to tell him about the child abuse she underwent he covered it up and shut her down.
I tried to speak to him about it, but he would not speak to me, even though I followed him around the entire world for a year. It was later confirmed by other contacts that he was directly involved in abusing them.
I have since renounced any connection to him, and recommend anyone who has any interest in him to please do their research first. As far as Henry Doktorski's book goes, the cover and title are sensationalist and so it will end up being just a book for preaching to the choir and will not be accepted as being of value for people who actually need to hear the information inside of it.

In the same letter, Radhanath glorifies Tirtha’s book, Meditations on the American Gulag, which Tirtha had written in prison, “Your beautiful book is THE MOST POPULAR BOOK amongst your godbrothers and godsisters in India. It is even more sought after than any other book.”
