May 27, 1977 : Vrindavan

Tamala Krishna: Atul Krishna Goswami of the Radha-ramana temple came. He praised Prabhupada. But he asked one question, "After you, who will take charge of this property?" After he had left, Prabhupada called for Gopala Krishna. Bhavananda and I were also there. Prabhupada said, "Now I can understand there is a very big undercurrent to take our property. Our position, property, everything is enviable. It requires very strong management to protect. But you are all children. Therefore I have to poke my nose in everything. There is no strong man amongst you. Of you all, Ramesvara is a little intelligent. Now make everything so it is safe."

Thus the G.B.C. held meetings and established a committee with Ramesvara, Jayapataka, Giriraja, Gopala Krishna, Jayatirtha and myself to form trust properties of all India holdings. A trust deed was drafted, based on the BBT document, and read to His Divine Grace. Prabhupada was very satisfied and said, "Jaya future directors of ISKCON." And later he said, "Now I can die peacefully." And he cried.
