how to join iskcon as a male monk

The Muslims can’t say I so it became Hindus from Indus and now it is Hindus. If you take shelter of Srila Prabhupada, read his books, and chant Hare Krishna there will be no disappointment for you. Is this what Srila Prabhupada wanted? They have destroyed the society of devotees. His services are guiding more than 1,20,000 serious followers and lakhs of visiting readers! Devotees can live anywhere.

(If anyone tells you ISKCON has a disastrous record with regard to marriage, well, that's another matter.)

There should be no other  purpose. Well, it seems so, yet Tamal Krsna Goswami seems to be confused and unable to absorb what Srila Prabhupada is saying so he presses the matter further in pursuance of an extended explanation when he says He is asking that these rtvik-acharyas (even though Srila Prabhupada already corrected him by leaving off the acharya part of rtvik-acharya), they are officiating, giving diksha, the people they are giving diksha to………….

There is no other way, this is the basic point. If the temple is convinced, some deserving devotees may be exempted from the sequence of siksha levels and they can directly get a higher level of siksha if you are continuously and convincingly following the rules.The program aims to give congregational devotees gradual recognition and encouragement on the path towards achieving the standards required for initiation in ISKCON.First you have to take Sikshas for One round, 4 rounds, 8 rounds and 16 rounds  and then upto Sri Guru Asraya  from your local temple presidents.

We do not want to stick around to see that…Can You please tell me that how i can live in Iskcon tempel for forever .I want to know the full procedure to join .You do not need to join an ISKCON temple to become Krishna conscious. The Life patron program is an opportunity to become part of ISKCON’s international family. They have lost the plot, given up Srila Prabhupada’s mission, which is Sankirtan, the congregational chanting of the Holy Name and the distributioof his transcendental books.

That is Lord Caitnaya’s recommendation, He says you do not need to change your occupation or your situation in life, just wherever you are add Krishna consciousness.There is no good taking to spiritual life as an escape from the responsibilities of family life. Here Srila Prabhupada says we must be followers of “The Krsna conciousness movement”.

The confusion comes with the interpretation and extrapolation of meaning of subsequent statements as his secretaries attempt to manipulate the conversation to arrive at the conclusion they wanted to hear rather than the clearly definitive conclusion Srila Prabhupada enunciated to them.

So it is the same with Krishna consciousness. It means dedicating one's energy toward supporting and spreading the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and following good If you are considering leaving your family to join the temple, and remaining in the temple...that is another thing. I am tired of secular life it is not for me I want a spiritual life willing sacrifice all I have to understanding of God please email meI want to become a disciple and want to stay their for entire life..how can I get the chance to live there for the rest of my life?First you become a devotee wherever you are now.

That is 108 x 16 = 1728 round or x 16 = 27648 names.So how does one practice Krishna consciousness? Just start chanting at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra every day, read Srila Prabhupada’s books at least 1-2 hours a day and strictly follow the four regulative principles [no illicit sex, no meat eating, no gambling and no intoxication].

Srila Prabhupada has written about 80 big books on the science of Krishna consciousness. I never desired or tried or asked for any position there.

After 6 months of taking shelter, you can get initiated by the guru of your choice from whom you got the shelter.Taking diksha is a new birth to us. You can read Prabhupada’s books anywhere, you can chant Hare Krishna anywhere, you can cook and offer to Srila Prabhupada and distribute prasadam anywhere.
