No, they don't. That's exactly the problem. These individuals
have no right to speak for ISKCON but ISKCON's name is being bismirched
by these people. Mr. Pai, didn't I say that your name was associated
with ISKCON by netters? Here's another poster who has identified Mr. Pai
with ISKCON.

I don't think ISKCON will claim that it is not Hindu. The
problem here is not with the organization but the few people who have
somehow managed to identify themselves with ISKCON in the 'internet
collective unconscious' (to borrow from Jung).
Please don't penalize the organization for the misdeeds of these
netters - I encourage you to continue supporting the Sunday Feast at
your local temple.
