My ex-Guru is on facebook. He left in 2002. Should I send him a message? What should I say? I would love it if he would come back to ISKCON. He helped me so much and I am eternally grateful.

anyway, it is quite understandable that some times things get very hard in the society.... but he can always be respected no matter he is in or out of ISKCON...
Hare Krishna. Thanks for your comment. I am glad I contacted him. Yes, he deserves respect whether he is in or out of ISKCON. I pray that he will return some day.

Thanks. I just sent him a message and asked him to return. I told him his "vacation from ISKCON" was now over and that it was time for him to return. I asked him to bring his lovely wife and new family with him. I let him know that he has been greatly missed. I will update you all if he replies to my message.
I received the following reply: He said "that was nice of you to say. I don't know what "come back"means in practical terms but it's nice to know that at least one person in ISKCON doesn't despise me."
I replied to this and I told him that I had talked to others who knew him and they wanted him to return too. I apologized to him also for he had been treated very poorly by others.

my humble obeisances dear Pandora Mataji,
yes, it is good to show Your gratitude for a person who did so much to You. But also please request him to come back but stay Yourself also in the lotus feet of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
i mean it is good to show Your gratitude and request him to join back ISKCON but no need to talk much. On the place of further discussions we better pray and pray. Because we are in junior position according to Vaishnava etiquette we should not give advices to our superiors if they themselves ask us to do.
Your servant,
Hare Krishna dear Bhaktin Maral. Thank you for your comment. I would love to contact him and beg him to return and to bring his wife and family with him. Every time I go to the Temple I pray that he will return someday.
