Srila Prabhupada On Mayapur

-- S rila P rabhupada on M ayapur --

to release me from the management aspects of ISKCON so I can be free to translate. And you two are managing one of our biggest centers. I cannot close my eyes when there are big management dif- ficulties, so when I see things going wrong, money mispent, things not used properly, then I have to take part. But if you can relieve me of worry of management in Mäyäpur it will be a great relief for me. Kåñëa will give you more and more intelligence on how to do this if you sincerely endeavor. 6/2/76 MÄYÄPUR – A TRANSCENDENTAL DIARY VOL. 1 Prabhupäda also corrected Mahävira for telling everyone that he is now the temple president and manager of Mäyäpur. Mahävira has set himself up in an office. Several devotees already are complaining that he is asserting himself as the supervisor of the entire project, de- manding that they follow his instructions, although he knows very little about how the Mäyäpur management operates. “First become expert in all departments before becoming manager,” Prabhupäda told him. “You have to be servant of everyone before you can manage. One cannot demand respect.” 11/1/74 LOS ANGELES – TAMÄL KÅÑËA GOSWAMI Yes, Bhavananda and Jayapataka Maharajas are the approved direc- tors of Mäyäpur. They are selfless workers. 15/9/74 VÅNDÄVANA – RAMEÇVARA DÄSA I am hearing so many things about management….In Bengal there is a proverb that even if there are some dead metal utensils but then they are together they make so much noise, so what to speak of living utensils. So this is natural, but since we are all pledged to work for Kåñëa we should follow the principle of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu tåëäd api sunécena taror iva sahiñëunä. This is Vaiñëavism. So my request is do not be agitated. Let us do our duty honestly. Kåñëa will give us the intelligence to do everything nicely.
