This is a cyber istagosthi without any factional identity, for the disciples or devotees of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Our only identification is that we are "followers of Srila Prabhupada." The topmost authority accepted to solve any dispute is Srila Prabhupada himself through his recorded vani.

No one else has precedence over Srila Prabhupada.

New members are welcome and posts moderated until we can see mood, & intent for joining.

A set of axioms constitutes the framework of the member’s contributions. All participants must take notice of those basic regulations & everyone must follow the rules of Vaisnava Etiquette.

Topics that will produce worthwhile results in the search for solutions will be highlighted in the archive section. For axioms & archives please consult:

The other forum, Synod, offers a place where opinions can be expressed freely. There are no hard & fast rules except vaisnava etiquette & big common sense. If you’re a member of both forums you can freely move from one to the other simply by clicking on “my groups” at the top of the page.

This istagosthi has two divisions: the Council and the Synod.

The Council here offers a place for discussion that addresses ISKCON’S problems among other Vaisnava related topics. Participants are requested to use references from Srila Prabhupada’s vani to present their case as far as possible. If they can’t produce them, they must know that such references exist.
