ISCKON information regarding misconception of people!?

I have been going to the iskcon for last 3 years and I learned a lot there. I came to know about the god, demigod and lord Krishna. This organization also runs charity for poor and helps children. But I am listening some people have misconceptions that there are lots of money come in this organizations and they are doing business. I am disappointed about it and I don't think so. Is it right or not??

    ISKCON is doing great service to the society all over the world in the bakthi marga. It was started by the great Srila Prabhupada and run by Krishna devotees in an appreciable manner. There may be some weeds like in any other organization and it is a misconception to point fingers only at that. There is a huge blot even in the traditional Sankara matam. ISKCON is made up of mostly new comers to bakthi marga.

    in this material world ,we are serving lots of things ,at times our senses ,at times our girl friends at times our money ,etc .but that will all lead to bondage .so if you can use everything as service to god ,then that is true perfection . money can be used in two ways ,to serve our different kinds of sensual pleasures ,or serve to god . that means everything that we have if we can use it in service of god ,like selling bhagavad gita books ,manafacturing temples where people come ,become calm and meditiate on god .that does not mean we are worshipping money ,we are worshipping god through money .in vedic scriptures , it is said that consort of narayana is laxmi .that same laxmi we refer to it as money in this world .so if that money stays in service of narayana ,then you will remain happy .otherwise what is the use of getting the body of human beings ,if one simply engages money in various sense gratifcatory activities

    Hare Krishna!

    ISKON, ( international society for Krishna consciousness) is a very interesting,wonderful,and extremely charitable,giving spiritual organization, with missions all over the world.

    Iskon wouldn't have anything to offer the world if it were not supported by thousands of people, through donations, and also by selling Srila prabuoadas books, and tapes, and so many other things.

    Without sales,there would be no temples,no books, no devotees,no spread of Krishna consciousness.

    Iskon has been around since the 1960's, and as any spiritual movement, they have had problems, but it's the message that's important.

    Iskon needs sales and donations, to continue to do so many things,including help to the poor, and growing food, and feeding people worldwide.

    So just chant and be happy! :-)

    These are all rumours spread by those who don't like these spiritual organizations. May be the devotees donate money to them and they do some selling of books but it is because money is required to run various kinds of charities. But that doesn't mean they worship money.
