October 14, 2024: The Vaishnava Foundation published the latest book by Kailasa Chandra (Mark Goodwin): On Consciousness & The Perfection of Man—A Treatise that transcends Western speculation, Eastern screed, organized religion, occult gaslighting, and three bogus “Krishna” cults, with a Foreword by Henry Doktorski.

The author, Kailasa Chandra, explains:

This book is a critique. It is neither an anthology nor a comprehensive recording of all the uncountable events that took place in and around Prabhupada’s branch of Lord Caitanya’s Krishna consciousness movement in the guru-parampara. It glorifies His Divine Grace (as it well should!), but it glorifies little else. Little else merits being glorified. Instead, it is a critique, a critical analysis of the persons and events which led to the current deplorable state of a doppelganger Mother Ship and its factions, all disguising themselves as the Hare Krishna movement.

It highlights key events and people within Prabhupada’s movement, the ones which are the most important in the estimation of your author. This treatise is not a comprehensive presentation of anything and everything, as that is not conducive to assimilating real conclusions. The purpose of this book is fulfilled when its reader comprehends, acknowledges, and assimilates what is meant to be gleaned from it.

There are two appendices, as well. These include combining the End Notes with the Glossary, not all that revolutionary of a step.

There will be numerous excerpts from Prabhupada’s writings in this book, as there should be. These will be dominated by excerpts from his letters. Not infrequently, excerpts from purports to his massive treatises—along with excerpts from room conversations, platform lectures, and morning walks—will also be presented.
