eating sleeping members can live in Mayapure

[Guest guest]

"One thing is, I have heard that Jayapataka is requesting Giriraja that

Bombay should send maintenance allowance to Mayapur monthly. But I instructed

in

the beginning that Calcutta should maintain Mayapur. Also, you are not sending

your collections regularly to Bombay, so how they can support you? If Bombay is

 

maintaining, what are others doing, eating and sleeping? Why does Jayapataka

want allowance? Anyone who cannot collect money, they should go to Mayapur and

live there and simply eat and sleep, like women and widows. I shall arrange

for their eating and sleeping. But in cities, those should live who can collect

 

and earn. The widows are not earning in Hindu society, they eat and sleep at

others' expense. So if you are not able to earn in Calcutta, better all go to

Mayapur and eat and sleep and I shall accommodate all widows, women and others

at Mayapur and Vrindaban. Otherwise why should we maintain such large

establishment in Calcutta simply for eating and sleeping and spending. These

two

places will be reserved for those who cannot collect. For them I am making

provision. Only the active members who can collect, they shall live in the

city.

Eating, sleeping members, they shall live in Mayapur, that's all.

 

One thing, on the invitation card you have written All Glories to Our Guru

Maharaja. This is impersonalism. As soon as we offer obeisances to Guru, the

name should be there. We are strictly personalists. The sahajiyas write Glories

 

to Guru. Why you are learning this impersonalism, who has taught you? Daily I

am offering obeisances to my Guru by vibrating his real name, Srila

Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, otherwise it is impersonal.

"Whether you can deal with so many problems? I am receiving so many letters

daily from Calcutta. The temple officers are appointed to minimize my time, not

 

increase it with so many letters. Best to stop expanding, or if you cannot

raise funds there, close up the Calcutta center. It is not that the officers

should be expert in one field only, they should be expert in everything."
