International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has punished its monk Amogh Lila Das for ‘inappropriate and unacceptable’ comments on Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda by banning him for one month and asking him to seclude himself from public life.
The monk’s remarks at Swami Vivekananda criticising him for eating fish triggered huge controversy in West Bengal, where fish is not only an essential part of the diet of the majority of population and even offered to the deities in certain religious traditions.
