June 26 Why Garuda Das Won’t Participate in ISKCON’s Guru Approval Process | Ep. 195
In this episode, we explore why Garuda Das (Graham Schweig) has chosen not to participate in ISKCON’s guru approval system, often described by some as a “rubber-stamping” process. Through a thoughtful and principled lens, he shares his concerns about institutional authority, tradition, and the deeper meaning of guru within the Gaudiya Vaishnava lineage.
Garuda Das, also known as Dr. Graham Schweig, is a longtime practitioner and respected scholar of Bhakti traditions. He is a professor of Religious Studies at Christopher Newport University and holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, specializing in the religions of India. He is widely known for his translations and commentaries on sacred texts such as the Bhagavad-gita and Bhagavata Purana, combining academic rigor with deep devotional insight.
