ISKCON or Ramakrishna Mission?
Which one do you support more? One person said that Ramakrishna Mission is bogus and is corrupt and false and that ISKCON is the real one. Is he true?

On Hindu sites I have seen a lot of posts that say Krishna Consciousness (I think that is ISKCON) is bogus. The Hindus in India tend to be very negative on it. I'm not familiar enough with Hinduism to pick a side, but I am grateful that they aren't banging on my door to tell me I'm going to hell, so that more or less puts them in the "good" category as far as I'm concerned.

Ramakrishna Mission is "VERY WELL ORGANISED INSTITUTION "--under Registration of Societies Act 1860
WIKIPEDIA =Ramakrishna Mission (Bengali: রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন) is an Indian religious organization which forms the core of a worldwide spiritual movement known as the Ramakrishna Movement or the Vedanta Movement.[1] The mission is a philanthropic, volunteer organisation founded by Ramakrishna's chief disciple Vivekananda on 1 May 1897.(118 YEARS OLD)
Head Quarters => Belur ,Kolkatta.(India)
they have 179 branches All over the World.
They do not "VOLITIONALLY" solici people to join their "Mission" or Hindu Religion.
if people approach them for "Guidance" --they "ADVICE".
in the last 118 years R.K.Mission/MUTT has brought out 100s of "MOST BRILLIANT" Super-Scholars in Vedhantha.
I have very great appreciation for Swami Ranganaadhandha --a very BRILLIANT SCHOLAR in Hindu Scriptures in General and VEDHANTHA in particular.
in my PERSONAL opinion there were only just TWO JEEVAN MUKTHAS in 200 years (1800 to 2000 A.D.) in the Whole Wide World (www)
(1)SRI,MAHARISHI RAMANA (1879 TO 1950 A.D.)
(2) SRI.RAMAKRISHNA PRAHAMSA (1836 TO 1886 A.D.) .
"NISCHALATHVE "JEEVAN MUKTHI HI" (Acharya SANKARA)
RAMAKRISHNA MISSION IS RUNNING A NUMBER OF ELEMENTARY--MIDDLE--HIGH SCHOOLS FOR BOYS/ GIRLS --A NUMBER OF COLLEGES--tECHNICAL tRAINING iNSTITUTES --HOSPITALS.
MANY BOOKS IN ENGLISH BY RAMAKRISHNA MISSION ASCETICS =>
(1) SWAMI GHAMBIRAANANDHA (UPANISHADS--BRAHMA SUTRA BHASHYAM )
(2) SWAMI TAPASYANANDHA (VISHNU SAHASRANAAMAM)
(3) SWAMI MADHAVANANDHA ( BRA-Upanishad) -
(4) SWAMI SWARUPAANANDHA (BHAGAVT GITA)
(5) SWAMI VIRESWARANANDHA (BRAHMA SUTRAM BHASHYAM)
(6) A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF BOOKS BY "ANNA" OF CHNNAI RAMAKRISHNA MATAM
THE LIST WILL BE VERY,VERY,VERY LONG --I STOP HERE.
