.It is sad to me to see the woesome tale of the author and her experience with the Hare Krishna movement,especially with so much time invested.What is even more upsetting is that after all that time in the movement and with the knowledge that in this day and age we are surrounded by hypocrisy and people with a cheating mentality,the author didn't strive to work for,and be a shining beacon of the good people involved in administration.Instead,it seems prevalent that these days everyone has resorted to becoming a complainer.Anyone with any information at all in regards to the essence of what Srila Prabhupada was bringing to America knows that these problems are to be expected in the world we live in today.It goes on everywhere. It's all about Lord Krishna,pure love of God,and it is unforgiveable of this woman in my opinion to scare people with this nonsensical work of self pity.There is no reason on this earth that such a beautiful and timeless practice of honoring God and His followers, what to speak of His ambassadors cannot be an "organized"effort.There will always be and there have always been the bad apples in every facet of human society and it will never change the truth.I suggest you, and anyone you can get to go with you,go to a Hare Krishna temple for a feast and rejoice that one of those living angels that give "tours" or try and "convert" have given their time and energy for your own spiritual advancement.Of course that is if you are interested or receptive enough to see through the fact that in any path you take,some of the people in the past, and probably the future too,will not be up to par due to their own inner demons.
