Swami Swaroopanand in February 2016 questioned the claim of ISKCON to be a part of Sanatana Dharma
and accused it to be a front for money-laundering, it being used to
send money from India to USA and other foreign countries. Money donated
by Indians were being shunted to the USA. He questioned the growing
number of their temples in India and said that if they were sincere they
should have built them in Assam and Chattisgarh which had fewer temples. Their aim was not religion or spirituality but something else, he claimed.
