Henri Jolicoeur is a former member of the ISKCON (the Hare Krishna movement) who currently heads his own neo-Hindu ministry in Canada (?).
Here is a portion (about 20 minutes long) of his scathing criticism of the eleven gurus who took over the ISKCON after Prabhupada´s death, many of whom Jolicoeur knew personally. Somwhat surprisingly, he seems to regard Prabhupada himself as a honest but *extremely* misguided and naïve man, who recruited all kinds of riff raff to his movement. Note the bizarre rumour about the wedding between a sannyasin and a prostitute!
Jolicouer worked with Prabhupada personally, and it seems the old man occasionally did listen to his advice, which may explain why he doesn´t reject him en toto.
I haven´t read the book Jolicoeur is commenting on.
