Less reading of Srila Prabhupada’s books, minimizing his position by more elaborate guru-pujas than SP’s guru-puja, introduction of new, unauthorized literature, demigod and non Vaishnava worship in Iskcon temples, Indian social customs like rakhi, minimizing prasadam standards, inappropriate items offered to the deities like frozen vegetables, relaxed sexual behavior, improper decorations of the Deities, non traditional kirtans by chanting names non associated with Lord Krishna and more.

Great points. Another: why you are not covering your head with sari's end? Is that not a standard weakening. A rare mata in ISKCON is doing that. Men are to shave off that dirt, mata's are to cover it, only showing it to husband.
Another. why we see men in white still even they are over 50 years; pancasordhvam vanam vrajet.

Your Grace Matati. Thank you, thank you, thank you! For years, I have been disturbed by fear for the future of ISKCON, because of some of these problems you point out. I feel great relief to hear an influential leader explicitly, and expertly, address them. I have written some articles addressing similar concerns, but have minute ability to persude. One reason for this is that I am guilty of lacking strong sadhana; I live outside a temple, chant my rounds and follow the regs, but do not rise early and do daily program.You point out that I need to be concerned with my own standard first.
Malati Prabhu, Can Srila Prabhupada's explanation of why he reads his books daily be found on Bhaktivedanta vedabase? I would like to be able to cite it. Your servant Paramadayala Nityananda Das
