ISKCON Management Santiago
AGTSP. Paoho. Zee
We have been asked by GBC Secretaries, Presidents, cooks, insiders, outsider, Brahmanas, youth, women et al about the adminstrative situation in Chile.
Our opinion has to be understood in perspective.
We seen this in the Gopi's relations with Krsna. This is in the "Krsna" book at this link: https://vedabase.io/en/library/kb/21/#bb91143 , "...the gopīs in Vṛndāvana remembered Him and began to talk amongst themselves...".
First, they were good citizens of Nanda Maharaja's village: Milked cows, haggled over the price of Yogurt, paid their taxes. So, we should all be good citizens of ISKCON as an institution, support our GBC, don´t expect much more than 75% perfection from any institution in Kali-yuga and then,
Second, they had their confidential friends with whom they talked about Krsna. So, in Santiago, we talk in closed rooms with President, GBC, cooks, Mataji's with their sons/husbands etc. We like everyone. Is that true of you? Yes, sometimes Krsna will push us to push our friend out of the way of traffic if they have been neglectful, but that is superficial and is sign of friendship. (Eg. Dhurva and the Yaksas).
Finally, each of them had their own individual, personal, relationship with Krsna. So, unless you have a direct relationship (through so many transparent via-media) with Srila Prabhupada as your personal Acharya in ISKCON, we feel you have fundamental progress to make. At some point, did you establish a relationship with Srila Prabhupada where you decided that even if all your friends in ISKCON and the Temple and global Administration went mad, you would never give up serving Srila Prabhupada E.g. 16-enthusiastic rounds and 4-principles strictly are a personal commitment to him?
So, our nature is Brahmana, Brahmana, Brahmana, Sudra; from general persepctive to exact details.
Our opinion now, as Sannyasis, from what we know, is that Sripad Amara Das should consult with Brahmanas, Gurus, Sannyasis, family, leaders and then suggest someone as Vice-President to serve under him for like three months, then if things are basically O.K they should become Temple President and he should go on the Zonal Supervisor.
After one year everyone can reconsider the situation.
Write down what is expected during the three months, and one year, and have it signed by several leaders and publically broadcast.
Then, Srila Amara Das and all leaders, should lead us by example by taking Sannyasa, getting our of administrative gears, after a few years and save 25-generations of his ancestors. (🦍)
Since we are Sannyasis in the institution we want to be free to publish any political, admnistrative discussions we have here where they are available to friends and intelligent enemies of the Anjana Suta Academy.
Your turn.
