ISCON is scam, Today I visited pandhara pur's ISCON temple simply, expected to eat ' prasada ', thought meal is free, but they asked for 100/- & said they have plan of providing food for free of cost in future by collecting money by now π+

When and which iskcon has ever provided free food.
The donation you pay is for free food not for you, but for mid_day meals for millions govt and other aided school students. It's called Akshay Patra. What you get is a free prasad, regardless of whether you donate anything or not
@abhi_shek346
Why we should pay for mid day meals? Govt. can provide free food from our tax money itself, Why ISKCON is needed? Y we have to pay extra? This mid-day meal is old concept in Karnataka, old govts. used to provide mid-day meal from govt. money without ISKCON.

Depends on the specific temple maybe? The Iskon temple where I live serves simple meals/ prasada for free, though on festivals, people also put up their own stalls where they sell food/ sweets etc.

ISKON is heavily construction and that is one reason they pester for donation. As far as I know, they do provide free food and that is what I have seen. Maybe be someday, I will spy on them to see if they are actually using my donation for providing free food or not. If not,

Nope, I wasn't interested to visit, My bro wanted to go as some people suggested, As far as I know in every town it exists but nobody goes much, even during festival.
