A Moment of Truth for ISKCON — and for All of Us | February, 16, 2026

Описание: In Part 2 of "Is This the End?," Swami Padmanabha reflects on spiritual authority, institutional belonging, and the evolving dynamics of guru-tattva in contemporary devotional life.

Drawing on the legacy of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, and B. R. Sridhar Maharaj, he situates present tensions within a broader historical continuum, inviting us to reconsider what genuine loyalty to a tradition truly means.

Through the lens of Radical Personalism, Swami explores the balance between personal realization and institutional structure, the risks of impersonal authority, and the need to cultivate thoughtful, discerning practitioners.

Acknowledging the grief, anger, and uncertainty many feel, he calls for mature, integrity-centered engagement — neither passive conformity nor cynical withdrawal.

He concludes with a hopeful vision of a future where spiritual authority flows from realized character, institutions serve relationships, and truth — satyam param dhīmahi — remains our highest guiding principle.
