"All my disciples will take the legacy. If you want, you can also take it. Sacrifice everything. I, one, may soon pass away. But they are hundreds, and this movement will increase. It is not that I give an order, 'Here is the next leader.' Anyone who follows the previous leadership is the leader.... All of my disciples are leaders, as much as they follow purely. If you want to follow, you can also lead. But you don't want to follow. Leader means one who is a first class disciple. Evam param parapraptam. One who is following is perfect."
(Srila Prabhupada, Back to Godhead magazine, Vol. 13, No. 1-2)
BY HIS DIVINE GRACE A. C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA
My advice to you under the circumstances is that at least for one hour you must all go to have sankirtana outside on the streets or in the park. That is your life and soul, first business. The next business is completing the chanting of 16 rounds every day. The next business is your editing. And if you find extra time then you can attend the temple ceremonies. Otherwise you can stop these activities. But outdoor kirtana, your editing work, and chanting of 16 rounds must be done. Outdoor kirtana must be done, even at the cost of suspending all editorial work. That is your first and foremost business. Temple worship is not so important. If need be, the whole temple can be locked. But the outdoor kirtana cannot be stopped.
(Letter to Rayarama, 17 May 1969)
"So, it is the duty of every Indian to make his life perfect by understanding Bhagavad-gītā at least, and spread the message. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. Yāre dekha tāre kaha kṛṣṇa-upadeśa [Cc. Madhya 7.128].
Every one of you can become a guru. He says that. Āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra' ei deśa [Cc. Madhya 7.128].
Wherever you are, you can deliver the persons, surrounding persons in your neighborhood. "How can I become guru? I have no qualification." No. There is no need of qualification. Simply repeat. Yāre dekha tāre kaha kṛṣṇa-upadeśa [Cc. Madhya 7.128].
"Very simple thing. Anyone you meet, "My dear friend, just hear little." "What is that?" Now, Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You kindly think of Kṛṣṇa. Just offer your obeisances to Kṛṣṇa, just become a bhakta and chant His holy name. Bas. Your guru duty is finished.
So, it is not very difficult task. Anyone can do this. And then everyone will be benefited. And that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Thank you very much."
We can easily take our Hare Krsna movement back from the hands of usurpers and globalist powers. How? by following Srila Prabhupada's instructions. Each brahmana disciple of Srila Prabhupada who is outside our sanga here, should form their own web site or local congregational sankirtana organization. They are not required to stick with us, they can do their own thing easily.
Follow our same principles as we did in the seventies in good temples. Elect officers, a president, and after a year for those who have expressed a desire and follow the standards, upon request and agreement among officers in general, the president decides and can recommend them to Srila Prabhupada for initiation, as the devotee sangas and temple presidents have always done, and thus give them initiations by fire sacrifice, first and second. We have tapes of Srila Prabhupada's gayatri if you need them, our members can share them with you as required.
If they do this, we take the control out of the hands of the GBCists and the fanatics trying to control Srila Prabhupada's Movement. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !

Yes, well said, ZZZ ! You were not sleeping on this one! This is exactly the heart of the problem; these fools do not know what is the exalted position of a truly self-realized soul. They take it as a career move or a fad or a game of charades. A Krsna conscious spiritual master is NOT AN ORDINARY MAN. A nitya siddha is eternal associate of GOD, not a reformed junkie. They have incorporated, saying the corporation represents Srila Prabhupada, the rubber stamp to sin and abuse others. But Srila Prabhupada said no centralizing, and gave all real powers to the temple presidents in terms of local action and decisions etc.
This sanga makes it clear, there is no guru except the true and proven guru. There is one danger, that other disciples will abuse their privileges as temple presidents in the diksa processes; so please see that this doesn't happen and produce a farce. You will be attacked by dogs like prabhupadavision, pada etc, but that indicates you are on target, the flak is flying.
