ISKCON, a leading Hindu religious organization, banned monk Amogh Lila Das for a month for his alleged "derogatory comments" about Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramahansa. ISKCON claimed Das realized his mistake and would seclude himself in the hills during the ban period. Das triggered controversy by criticizing Vivekananda for eating fish and making sarcastic remarks about Paramahansa's teachings.
