Acarya dasa commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post ISKCON Constitution Project Seeks Devotee Input Worldwide
"This is, on the face of it, a very good idea. But if the GBC doesn't follow the rules of law, including laws they themselves have made, then a "constitution won't be worth the banana leaves it is written on."

Acarya dasa commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post ISKCON Leadership Sanga (ILS) 2023 at the TOVP
"I am disappointed that the ILS will not follow the GBC's rules on dealing with child abusers. The concept of "leadership" without proper implementation of child protection guidelines is at best flawed, at worst grossly hypocritical."

Acarya dasa commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post ISKCON Mayapur Master Plan Brochure
"Nothing about child protection? Given Mayapura's sordid history, and the assurances given by leadership I would have hoped for at least a mention. I guess it just isn't very high on their list of priorities."

Acarya dasa commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post New Vrindaban’s outdoor Gaura Nitai deities are being carefully restored
"I think that in this connection it might be worth considering Srila Prabhupada's words concerning outdoor statues, and "deities" that are on display but do not receive regulated arcana worship."
