SrilaPrabhupada • on Organization & Management
Efficient Organization is Indispensable “We have a mission to cultivate all over the world,” he said. “We have to print and distribute books and open centers and train devotees, and we cannot do that unless we are very organized and efficient. If we are to conduct a mission to save the fallen souls, which is the desire of Lord Caitanya and the previous acaryas, then we have to organize the sankirtana movement very nicely. And we have to be strict devotees.” – Life With the Perfect Master Satsvarupadasa Goswami
Organization and Intelligence “Do you think this movement can go on without me?” Prabhupada asked. Giriraja was astounded that Prabhupada had called him in the middle of the night to ask him this. “I think,” said Giriraja, “that as long as we are sincere and go on chanting Hare Krishna and follow the principles, the movement will be successful.” SrilaPrabhupada was silent. When he spoke, each word seemed to come with great effort. He uttered the word organization. Then he said, “Organization and intelligence. Is there anything else?” Giriraja felt within his heart that he wanted to cry out, “SrilaPrabhupada, stay with us.” But instead he said, “No.” “All right,” Prabhupada said. And Giriraja offered obeisances and left. Outside Prabhupada's room, Giriraja continued to reflect on Prabhupada’s words: ““Organization and intelligence.” - FSrilaPrabhupada-lilamrita, vol. 6
