GBC meetings - 1977

Gurukripa Dasa: In Mayapur we had our GBC meetings there every year. So many pastimes happened, many things happened. We used to daily have these meetings, and then come down and read the resolutions that had been decided.

So in 1977, Srila Prabhupada said, "This year you have your full meeting, and when you are done, you bring your resolutions here." So this went on for like five or six days - this meeting - and then we came down, "Prabhupada we have decided that this devotee would go here, this one will do that, we will have a committee." And Prabhupada saying "No. No." Almost everything he vetoed, almost everything he said, "No, that’s not right. I don’t like that, no." He was showing us that you don't understand me, he was blocking.

Two years later the GBC came out with a manifesto that as a collective group we cannot be wrong, it must be right, but two years before, Prabhupada had said "Everything was wrong."
