I want to express my support for recognizing the very important leadership roles of sannyasis and gurus outside of the formal managerial structure. In fact, I believe our proposal should draw more attention to this aspect of what a future ISKCON might be like without sannyasis and gurus on the GBC. Perhaps what Krishna Kirtan prabhu is mentioning here could be summarized and included in the proposal. Your servant, Pancaratna das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
