It looks like one of the ISKCON "acharyas" has been chastised and disciplined by the ISKCON administrative body.
This system of gurus under the thumb of a governing body committee is a serious assault on the "traditional parampara" that ISKCON claims to follow with it's multitude of "acharyas" like this one.

Satsvarupa's "Sanatorium"
<center> </center> BY: GBC EC <center></center>
Jul 09, EUROPE (SUN) — In response to some devotees’ concerns regarding his book “Sanatorium”, Satsvarupa Maharaja has given the following comment and has also decided to withdraw from circulation any remaining copies of the book. - Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I have come to realize that my book “Sanitorium” contains explicit sexual scenes and references. I am sorry I have written it. I apologize and promise not to write a book like this again. Yours in service to Prabhupada, Satvarupa das Goswami

"traditional gurus"?
Not by any stretch of the imagination.
Why can't they just admit the truth that without the ritvik system ISKCON will never succeed?
A real "acharya" would tell the committee to kiss his behind.
But, to keep the meal ticket and ISKCON quarters intact, the "acharya" has bowed to the committee.
