Bhaktivedanta Leadership Program
A transformative initiative aimed at strengthening our spiritual community, deepening our practice of Krishna Consciousness, and fostering a sense of accountability and responsibility towards Srila Prabhupada’s mission.
Art of Management
Our leaders should be careful not to kill the spirit of enthusiastic service, which is individual and spontaneous and voluntary. They should try to always generate some atmosphere of fresh challenge to the devotees, so that they will agree enthusiastically to rise and meet it. That is the art of management: to draw out spontaneous loving spirit of sacrificing some energy for Krishna. All of us should become expert managers and preachers.
“LIVING ENTITY IS MEANT FOR SELF-DISCIPLINE.”
Our students should be fit for teaching Krishna consciousness. By their character, by their behaviour, by their knowledge, that is wanted.
Since you are now leader, therefore Krishna is forcing you to become very responsible and advanced devotee. This is Krishna’s special favour upon you. So now you must see that all boys and girls who come to the temple are given all facility to perfect their lives in KC, and you must give them good advice and instruction.
