Vaiyasaki answers:

Dear Janesvara Prabhu. You may be right but that does not prevent us from

doing whatever is within our power to serve Srila Prabhupada. Personally, I

am working under Krishna's instruction to Arjuna: "Therefore, without being

attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty,

for by working without attachment one attains the Supreme." (Bg 3.19)

 

So there may be a successful outcome or the GBC may completely ignore our

sincere attempt. In either case, both Krishna and Prabhupada will know that

we acted for the benefit of furthering the Krishna consciousness movement.

Thus, there will be no loss. Krishna is in control and His devotee acts

always in service to Him. Therefore, we will not be disconsolate if there is

no result. We will carry on with our own personal spiritual life and

whenever an opportunity arises we will try again. But ultimately, the

results are up to Krishna.

 

yours in service, vaiyasaki dasa...
