<!--QuoteBegin-Ashok Kumar+May 21 2005, 05:17 AM-->QUOTE(Ashok Kumar @ May 21 2005, 05:17 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> My very limited experiences with ISKCON have so far been on the positive side.  I like the books and the paintings etc.  ISKCON has done great work in making Vaishnava litearture available all over the world in nicely edited and illustrated form.
...
In clothing, paintings, bhajans, books ISKCON is more Indian than Indians.  But in religion per se it often seems to have a striking non-Indian character too. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ashokji, I agree with you there completely. I am definitely an admirer of paintings by ISKCON, and had spent many many cumulative hours relishing the famous Krishna-Arjuna painting. When it comes to the culture of the inmates, it is more "Indian' than most Indians. The clothes, the earnest belief in Krishna, the bhajan tradition, "spreading the message" in the face of ridicule inside and outside India are qualities worth admiration.

Narayanan ji, you do make a good case about the origins of Pioneers who had faced a hostile host. I agree that the Akshaya patra scheme etc run by ISKCON is quite laudable. This however does not explain their supercilious attitude towards other Hindu schools while bending over backwards to try and accept Allah/Christ as equals for Krishna. After Srila Prabhupada, Iskcon now has a GBC controling it. Where can I find more info about the GBC?
