Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 April 28 Srila Prabhupada spoke very strongly about our Society not existing for the purpose of sense gratification. This was in connection with paying salaries to devotees and supplying special facilities for grhasthas. Prabhupada stressed that Krsna consciousness meant vairagya. One who was not interested yet in developing vairagya could not be maintained by the Society. Otherwise the whole institution would become weakened. If grhasthas were rendering essential service, the temple could provide living facilities; but they had to work voluntarily, not for salaries. Srila Prabhupada was asked whether he would go see Morarji Desai if he had no time to come here. Srila Prabhupada said absolutely not! A politician must come to see a saintly person, not vice versa. Later in the day, Prabhupada suggested that if the Prime Minister was unable to come here, a delegation of devotees could go to see him and explain how difficult things had been for us here in India. - From the TKG's Diary by HH Tamal Krishna Goswami maharaj Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
