ISKCON Files: Concatenation of Crises | 1970 - Declaring Srila Prabhupada as God! | Ch 1—Ep 3

ISKCON Files, an in-depth series uncovering the lesser-known history of ISKCON and the struggles and challenges faced by Vishwaguru Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, from some of his own trusted leaders. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, began the movement in 1966. At the age of seventy, he journeyed to the West aboard a cargo ship, enduring two heart attacks during the voyage. ISKCON was thus founded through immense personal sacrifice and with the support of sincere seekers who were earnestly searching for the meaning of life. However, the journey was not without challenges. As the movement grew, certain disciples of Srila Prabhupada were entrusted with positions of responsibility to help carry the mission forward. Over time, material ambitions began to surface, and Srila Prabhupada faced serious difficulties—sometimes even from within his own leadership. In Episode 3 of Chapter 1, the four sannyasis - HH Vishnujana Swami, HH Gargamuni Swami, HH Brahmananda Swami and HH Subala Swami, hatch a plan to share with devotees of New Vrindavan temple that "Srila Prabhupada is God!", the impersonalism poison that, if they say Srila Prabhupada is God, then they also can become God! But Hayagriva was the only one who protested. He was the most intelligent amongst us all. Learn what impact this had on the movement in 1970, and how Srila Prabhupada dealt with this issue created by his senior sannyasi disciples.
