Unfortunately, when the acharya disappears, rogues and nondevotees take advantage and immediately begin to introduce unauthorized principles in the name of so-called swamis, yogis, philanthropists, welfare workers and so on. The acharya, the authorized representative of the Supreme Lord, establishes these principles, but when he disappears, things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the acharya try to relieve the situation by sincerely following the instructions of the Spiritual Master.

ISKCON Bangalore is a splinter group that is operating under different names like “The India Heritage Foundation” or “Hare Krishna Movement”. Madhu Pandit Dāsa is the chairman of these organizations, more about:
http://www.madhupanditdasa.info/biography/
Let’s hear from a new insider:
“Bangalore group is lead by “ri(t)vik” Madhu Pandit das (MPD) and his brother-in-law (Chanchalapathi Dasa), they both rule over their opulent/wealthy Bangalore Hare Krsna Hill temple using expensive lawyers keeping Mumbai ISKCON/Gurus from taking this ISKCON property away.
MPD only allows one foreigner to stay free in his expensive Temple guesthouse, a very dishonest “ri(t)vik” devotee kicked out of ISKCON after his arrest and prison term in Cambodia for molesting girls.
His name is called Tattva darshan dasa (google for more info)
Tattva is allowed to give Srimad Bhagavatam class at Hare Krsna Hill,
he doesn’t chant 16 rounds or follow the 4 regulation.
MPD also supports his farm called BEV (Bhaktivedanta Eco Village Karanataka) where Tattva has been using the empty farm to scam anyone and everyone.
(pic is Tattva Darshan with his ISKCON Guru friend Indradyumna bogus swami/guru).
Those who are not devotees, therefore, are interested in so-called humanitarian or philanthropic work, such as opening a hospital or charitable institution. These are undoubtedly good works in the sense that they are pious activities, and their result is that the performer may get some opportunities for sense gratification, either in this life or in the next.
Bangalore group elite smarta Brahmin group of ALL INDIAN devotees
target wealthy Indians in INDIA, ENGLAND and AMERICA,
collecting millions for their Akshaya Patra mid-day meal program.
Allows and bears for eggs in school lunch:
Selling Egg Grading Machine:
The food cooked and delivered is by paid karmis (NOT pure veg workers)
and they do NO book distribution or Hariman when servicing the food.
Monsantos Involvement (GMO FOOD):

Recently the government is requesting meals to have onion/garlic added for flavour and eggs for protein.
Akshaya Patra doesn’t serve eggs but agreed to have them with their meals if someone else cooks them.
“He who gives permission, he who kills the animal, he who sells the slaughtered animal, he who cooks the animal, he who administers distribution of the foodstuff, and at last he who eats such cooked animal food are all murderers, and all of them are liable to be punished by the laws of nature. SB. 1.7.37 Purport).“
“Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, Kali-chela. He indicates that there are other Vaishnavas, pseudo-Vaishnavas, with tilaka on their nose and kunti beads around their neck. Such a pseudo-Vaishnava associates with money and women and is jealous of successful Vaishnavas. Although passing for a Vaishnava, his only business is earning money in the dress of a Vaishnava”.
– Chaitanya-charitamrita, Madhya, Ch.1, Text 218 / 220, purport
Madhu Pandit dasa is very famous and wealthy GODMAN here in South INDIA,
recently purchased a 40 lakh car for himself with personal driver,
has personal servants/massage/cooks/doctors and private residents build for himself
into his opulent temples.
He receives many top rewards which helps him collect more money from wealthy Indians,
MPD has a team of professional devotees help him with getting these rewards, mostly with brides & using lawsuits against his enemies.
MPD and his brother-in-law are NO different than the corrupt rich ISKCON gurus,
brainwashed devotees collecting money for their power, prestige and wealth.
Srila Prabhupada: “I made the GBC to give me relief, but if you do like this, then where is the relief? It is ANXIETY for me. This is the difficulty, that as soon as one gets POWER he becomes whimsical and SPOILS everything. What can I do?“
– Srila Prabhupada in a letter dated September 12, 1974
“You cannot tolerate this misleading. People are innocent. It is our duty to become merciful upon them, to give them real knowledge. And these people are misleading. There must be strong protests against these rascals.”
(Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, 19/4/1973)
In fact many of us believe he is in bed with his former guru Jaya Potato swami (JPS) who re-located to South India since we DO NOT heard about the Supreme court case anymore between Bangalore or Mumbai.”
In this video (4:12 min), he even says u can make spiritual advancement with self-elected bogus gurus:
Bogus statement from Madhu Pandit Prabhu
ISKCON gurus provide “guruship” and “progress”
Interviewer: “So if you see, even in the other ISKCON they are progressing in spiritual life, they are moving towards Krishna, which means the principle of guruship is acting even in them.”
MPD: “Definitely it is acting in them. […] when I was in the other camp, I am not saying that I didn’t make advancement at all. I did make advancement […]”
Interviewer: “Now we all accept that we will progress, either this way or that way, even there they will progress because at least they’re chanting the Holy Name.”
MPD: “Right.”
Interviewer: “They will definitely progress.”
MPD: “Right.”

As for your next question, can only a few pure devotees deliver others, anyone, if he is a pure devotee he can deliver others, he can become spiritual master. But unless he on that platform he should not attempt it. Then both of them will to go to hell, like blind men leading the blind.
Leaders who have fallen into ignorance and who mislead people by directing them to the path of destruction [as described in the previous verse] are, in effect, boarding a stone boat, and so too are those who blindly follow them. A stone boat would be unable to float and would sink in the water with its passengers. Similarly, those who mislead people go to hell, and their followers go with them.
“Ṛtvik: Proof positive in one sentence: Śrīla Prabhupāda stated on May 28, 1977 that all future initiations within ISKCON, including after he departed from this material world, would be via ṛtvik, and 42 days later, on July 9th, he clarified this in writing by stating 3 times that the devotees initiated by the ‘ṛtvik representatives of the Ācārya’ would be his disciples, not the disciples of the Ṛtviks.”
Madhu Pandit seems to be a megalomaniac. Much like many who have the audacity to call themselves gurus and accept name and fame, profit, adoration and distinction. What a bunch of posers. Not a renounced one among them – the western and Indian gurus of Iskcon. So much opulence for a sannyassi as I see in Iskcon is repulsive to me, not attractive.
