Remembering Srila Prabhupada - , It is Hopeless

[Guest guest]

Prabhupada, It is Hopeless

 

 

Within a few months of taking sannyasa, Tamala Krsna

Goswami was drawn back into ISKCON management. Too

much was happening and the demands were too great for

Srila Prabhupada to allow him to renounce the heavy

duties of Indian management. At one point, however, it

became, from Tamala Krsna Goswami's viewpoint, an

overburden.

 

Prabhupada was allowing Giriraja to return to America

because he had jaundice, and Giriraja's replacement,

Mohanananda, had also decided to quit India because it

was too difficult for him. As Tamala Krsna Goswami was

GBC for India, all of the Indian management was on

him, and at the same time he now had to personally

manage Bombay. Prabhupada also told him that the GBC

should personally collect funds.

 

In great anxiety, Tamala Krsna Goswami went before

Srila Prabhupada and began to cry.

 

"Prabhupada, it is hopeless," he said. "How can I do

it? It's impossible. How can I do so many things?"

 

Prabhupada sat back and said, "This is very good. You

should pray to be entangled in Krsna's service so that

there is not a free moment for maya to attack."
