UPDATE 10 Mar 2018: Tarana Caitanya complained about this article, claiming that drug dealer accusation is not correct and he supplied testimony by his friend Yamuna Jivana:
Hare Krishna dear Tarana ji.
I reviewed email on this subject, everything that is mentioned there is that because of your past occasional entries into the old world it was risky for you to be lecturer or bhajan/kirtan leader on open programs in the temple. There is no mention of some illegal or off-4-th-principle activities in the temple, but only off-principle activities outside of the temple.
From my memory, there was no any off-principle activities in the temple itself.
So, the issue was in occasional intake of intoxicant substances (probably smoking grass or whatever) outside of the temple, because of some bad association. That is all.
Nothing else.
Hanuman is known story-creator. Let God help him. If you ask me, as soon as possible.
Dear Tarana, if I can help you in any other way, I am at your service.
Since my initial witness wished to remain anonymous, and Yamuna Jivana claims the opposite, all drug dealer references are removed from this article.
ISKCON is at crossroads, he have to invent something new to stay relevant. 2 years ago, this movement almost got destroyed by old fashioned preaching techniques, but Hridayananda das Goswami saved it when he started playing ping pong with girls. He also introduced Krishna jeans movement, which claims that we can successfully preach only if we are dressed as the people who we preach to. After few devotees accepted this proposal, Krishna jeans movement spread like wildfire and currently has over 100 000 members worldwide. And everybody is wearing jeans.
But now, Prahladananada Swami decided to take things a step further, he introduced, new movement, called Krishna woman hunter.
