Mundane welfare work in ISKCON

Murari Das: Mission Drift

Over time, there has been an increase in ISKCON, in activities which although not supported by Srila Prabhupada, have been gradually creeping into ISKCON and which now are gradually becoming the main focus of attention, activity and donations. I am referring here to mundane welfare work.

Specifically, I refer to the new zeal and enthusiasm by which devotees are rushing to establish

· Schools teaching mundane subjects

· Hospital and medical- aid-oriented activities

· Centres for feeding the ‘disadvantaged’, ‘malnourished’ and ‘victims of disaster’.

All of these were not only never done during Srila Prabhupada’s time but also regularly denounced by His Divine Grace. In numerous lectures, purports, conversations and letters, Srila Prabhupada would explain how Krsna consciousness was the highest welfare work and how all other mundane philanthropy and altruistic activities were incomplete, misguided ways of loving and serving all.

What is more public welfare than Krishna Consciousness? To awaken everyone’s original consciousness is the best public welfare in the whole world.
