So what do you think this sannyasi will do if I bring to his attention that

there are some people very dissatisfied with his managing methods. Listen to

me and change his behavior, step down from his position, reconsider his

activities? Why should he?

 

If he doesn't care for the opinion of the people in his community, why

should he listen to a stranger. And in the community obviously nobody dares

to say anything for fear of getting severely reprimanded. I don't have to

explain social pressure in this context, do I?

 

In another community some devotees posted the paper which was issued by the

GBC's Executive Committee (about the mistakes and failures of ISKCON) on the

bulletin board. It was promptly removed by the Temple President who is a GBC

and Guru himself and addressed as "nonsense". When one devotee tried to

speak about the issue of the paper in the morning class he was banned from

giving any more classes.

 

So far about the desire to discuss mismanagement with some seniors. (What

to say of changing it.)

I don't think that we need people from outside to agitate devotees minds.

Some of our seniors are perfectly capable of doing the job.
