GBC men to swap zones every three or four years
Prabhupada gave Madhudvisha Maharaja a signed letter, sending him to New York as the adhoc temple president until the Mayapur GBC meeting. After their conversation in Calcutta about the difficulties in New York, the need for a strong leader, and Prabhupada's suggestion that Madhudvisha take it up, Madhudvisha Maharaja told Prabhupada he was willing to go there.
Rupanuga prabhu, the current GBC for New York, will be offered Madhudvisha's present position in Australia, and Madhudvisha will take over affairs on America's East Coast. No devotees in Australia have yet been informed that he is going to New York.
There was some discussion about other possible changes of zones for GBC personnel.
Srila Prabhupada said that the GBC members themselves should hold discussions about exchanging zones and then propose a formal resolution at the meetings. On the whole he thought it a good idea for GBC men to swap zones every three or four years. He told us that a change will be refreshing and encourage detachment. It would discourage the tendency for the leaders to think of a particular area as their 'own' zone.
