Don't know what to say !

Srila Prabhupada Letter to Bhakta Das, April 9, 1972

I can only suggest, and wherever possible that can be applied, I don't force anyone. After all you all are working to hard to please Krsna only out of love for me, so there can be no question of force if love is there. We should not try to force anyone or reduce our Society to an impersonal business exchange. This will kill everything. Our only purpose in every endeavor is simply make an advancement in spiritual life or please Krsna.

Out of 7 purpose of ISKCON

3. To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the
prime entity, thus to develop the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each
soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).

5. To erect for the members and for society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes,
dedicated to the personality of Krishna.

6. To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and
more natural way of life.

I don't have a anything in my mind to set it as label. From some days it has been going in my mind. I been to Dham it was so amazing and wonderful experience to be in Dham to see so many devotees everyone chanting Hare Krsna, blissfully however on the otherside things were so arranged to rip off devotees, the past experience when it's done by people dressed in devotee attire. I was discussing this with my friend Ram Prabhu that how i feel sad to see how things going around. Devotees work so hard through out the year, save whatever they have to be the part of Krsna's festival but then out of sheer greed or ignorance of others they were exploited and left frustrated.

In our discussion Ram Prabhu told that "Anyone who steals money or resource from ISKCON for his or her own personal sense gratification, out of greed or ignorance, is actually sucking Srila Prabhupada Blood."

Things will no longer be same after all Srila Prabhupada Disciples will leave the planet to join Srila Prabhupada in spiritual world.

I pray to Srila Gurudev, Srila Prabhupada, Sri Nitai Gaurhari to please shower Your mercy upon me so i can become that devotee the way You like me to be. To give love and care to everyone without carving for personal sense satisfaction.
