Manage the Miami temple

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: We GBC men told Srila Prabhupada that the Miami temple was not well-managed. He said, "Some GBC should stay there." Then he said, "Why should Satsvarupa have to stay there? He has to travel". (Of course, I intended to travel even as zonal secretary.) Srila Prabhupada said my main engagement is going to the colleges. It was surprising to hear him say this, since previously in our GBC meetings I had been assigned management of seven temples. (It was as if he was speaking on a deeper level, that it was my dharma to travel and preach at colleges.) Rupanuga explained to him that I was now managing temples and wouldn't be traveling with the library party. I also explained that I was putting a man in charge of the party. He said, Then you can stay in Miami. It was not that he didn't want me to manage temples or that I had to travel with the library party. A three-man committee was assigned to investigate Miami's mismanagement, and I should also go there as GBC and plead and flatter the president so that he rectifies his way. Also, I should see that the grounds are cleaned up. Our principle, he said, is not to reject someone, but to work with them.
