Is ISKCON progressing or going down?

I am interested in the cold hard facts of temples, prasadam and books distributed, devotees made. Please abstain from subjective political views.

“You cannot judge a movement simply by the number of its followers. If one man is genuine, then the movement is successful. It is not a question of quantity, but quality.”
(Srila Prabhupada, Science of Self Realization, Ch. 2, "Choosing a Spiritual Master-Saints & Swindlers")

DIY...You obviously want to know about quantity.

diyourself: What's up? Are you thinking of buying stock?

Just did a quick investigation ,my freinds and i were working out best way to judge.1978..back to godhead 104 temples...aproximately.i page in total. 2002 back to godhead magasine 258 temples ...3 full condensed pages... heaps in russia,india and south america the difference.

Well, if it weren't for me having a strong desire for
mystical things I would not
have ever heard of prahbhupa.
I found one book in a new age store,Bhagavata gita
and it took off from there;as far
Devotees coming up to me, I must say,[emphatically] no.
Most ppl no nothing about shrimad bhagavatam
even those that read the gita by him.They heard of it,
but never read it or heard it told to them by devotees.

Howdy, Stranger!
