Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 SrI SrI Guru Gaurangau Jayatah Camp: Iskcon Delhi DaNDavats Dear all. Jaya Krishna BalarAma! Please accept my respectful obeisances. All Glories to Sreela PrabhupAda.. I just took the VTE "leadership and Mangement" course in MIHE Mayapura during the festival. I'm looking for an inspiring letter from Prabhupada to include in the upgrade, but I didn't see it (unfortunately) in the folio. do you have this quote? I remember the letter Prabhupada wrote was: "the members (leaders?) of the Krsna consciousness movement must keep in mind that the workers are volunteers, not paid servants..;. therefore they must be inspired to rise up and meet the challenge for the preaching work" something like that... aspiring for eternal service of PrabhupAda's Krishna-BalarAma in VrajadhAma.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Dear Madahava Maharaja, Please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Here is the quote you were looking for. So the future of this Krishna Consciousness movement is very bright, so long the managers remain vigilant that 16 rounds are being chanted by everyone without fail, that they are all rising before four morning, attending mangal arati-our leaders shall be careful not to kill the spirit of enthusiastic service, which is individual and spontaneous and voluntary. They should try always to generate some atmosphere of fresh challenge to the devotees, so that they will agree enthusiastically to rise and meet it. That is the art of management: to draw out spontaneous loving spirit of sacrificing some energy for Krishna. Letter to Karandhara Bombay 22/12/1972 It is quite a famous letter. I have taken only a portion. You might want to read all of it to see in what context these things were being mentioned.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Dear: Bhakti Visrambha Madhava Swami PAMHO AGTSP In the SS Suhotra Svami's book "Apasampradayas" I found the next quote: --------------------------- Chapter Ten CHALLENGE The Challenge of Management In a letter of 22 December 1972, Srila Prabhupada brilliantly marked out a plan of management, outlined below, to protect ISKCON from deviation from the sampradaya. I. To avoid the creation of "mad false devotees or pretenders:" A. Recognize that bad habits are difficult to overcome. B. New devotees should therefore be carefully educated, 1. first by getting them to chant the holy name, 2. and then by getting them to follow the regulative principles. 3. Unless one is prepared to follow the principles, he cannot live in the temple. 4. Attention should be paid to train a class of men, not a mass of men. II. To avoid the defection of older devotees from the ISKCON camp: A. The leaders must strictly set the example, and be vigilant to insure that everyone is 1. chanting 16 rounds daily, 2. rising by 4:00 AM daily, 3. and attending mangala arotika. B. The "art of management" is to draw out the spontaneous loving spirit of sacrifice for Krsna. 1. Leaders should be careful not to kill the spirit of enthusiastic service, which is: a. individual, b. spontaneous, c. voluntary. 2. Leaders should always try to generate an atmosphere of fresh challenge to the devotees so that they will agree to enthusiastically rise and meet it. C. As long as the regulative principles are followed by one and all, the future of the Krishna Consciousness Movement is very bright, 1. "Otherwise their enthusiasm dwindles and they again think of sex and become rascals and so many problems are there." 2. In order to maintain their enthusiasm to follow the principles, the devotees must be engaged in satisfying occupations. 3. They should understand the principles to be part of the occupation; they will thus follow them automatically, realizing the "happier side of regulative principles." D. The mood of tapasya is vital to the health of ISKCON. "We should not be very much after comforts and become complacent and self-contented." ----------------------- Ys Harinama dasa - "Bhakti Visrambha Madhava Swami" <Bhakti.Visrambha.Madhava.Swami (AT) pamho (DOT) net> "Jayadvaita Swami" <Jayadvaita.Swami (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "Trivikrama Swami" <Trivikrama.Swami (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "Balarama LOK" <Balarama.LOK (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "Mathura Kishora (das) JPS (Estonia)" <Mathura.Kishora.JPS (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "Sumithra Krishna (das) JPS (Chennai - IN)" <Sumithra.Krishna.JPS (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "ISKCON Temple Presidents" <ISKCON.Temple.Presidents (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "(Krsna) Katha" <Katha (AT) pamho (DOT) net>; "Prabhupada Disciples" <Prabhupada.Disciples (AT) pamho (DOT) net> Tuesday, March 23, 2004 2:32 PM need prabhupada quote on management. > SrI SrI Guru Gaurangau Jayatah > > Camp: Iskcon Delhi > DaNDavats Dear all.
