Who is Superior Guru or GBC?
  • GopalaGuru
    In sastra Guru is known as the ultimate authority because he is our link back home and part of our parampara, but what happens when the GBC disagrees? Guru or GBC?

    Prabhupada: Ah, no problem. GBC means now they should tour very extensive. That is the first principle, the GBC. Not sit down (in) one place and pass resolution(s). No, they must be active. They must act like me. As I am old man, I am traveling all over the world. Now to give me relief, the GBC members... I shall expand into twelve more so that they can exactly work like me. Gradually they will be initiators. At least first initiation. You must make advance. That is my motive. So, in that way I want to divide it in twelve zones. And we have to make more propaganda throughout the whole world. Now if you think that the world is so big, twelve members are insufficient, then you can increase more than that and make the zone similarly divided. It is (a) world affair after all.

    real guru will give you clarity and will not confuse you.

    .GBC have long forsaken most of Srila Prabhupada's instructions that they didn't like( such as the one quoted by ccd) so they became useless.

    your choice is to either find the real guru or take shelter of Srila Prabhupada and stop being confused

    the whole point of representatives of Maya (most of Iskcon gurus and GBC) is to confuse you and distract you and drag you away from the real purpose of life,to suck the life out of you and discard you at the end

    look around and learn from the history

    trying to follow these guys is like trying to chase your tail

    Here are the reasons:

    They themselves DON'T follow Srila Prabhupada's instructions

    They DON'T follow their own resolutions -why should you

    They are not convinced about what they teach hence they change their philosophy and approaches every year

    They come and go (with pockets full of money)

    It is impossible to follow something that can't be followed even by the ones that made up the rules.If the GBC and fake Gorus can give up following their nonsense so can you.Give it up.Or stay confused.

    ....I could go on but I hope you get the point
