It actually happened and they are stepping down so we can finally start fresh with the new board structure we talked about. I am honestly still reeling from the news but feeling so much relief that we can move toward a more inclusive future for the yatra. Keep your eyes …

Dear Harischandra Prabhu,
All glories to Srila Prabhupad, please accept my humble obeiscences. We would like to announce a consensus taken from several congregation members of the ISKCON Miami Yatra. First there is appreciation and respect for the current administration which has managed to keep the temple afloat through many storms. The exodus of so many aspiring devotees from participation in daily activities is a recurrent theme and the reasons for this is not the focus of this letter, rather what we can do as a group to serve Srila Prabhupad and augment the congregation service attitude. In essence this is a soft petition to replace the current temple president, after all there is not one sannyasi temple president in ISKCON; The sannyasi order is best suited for preaching, traveling from center to center. We would also like to add a representative for the Indian community to the board, and represent the finance committee. This is not an attempt to oust or replace the current board, nor a fault finding expedition. Please take into consideration the annexed signatures and petitions, which concur that we all need to come together and upgrade our devotional attitude together.
Sincerely,
Concerned Congregation Members

I just looked at the screen and saw 250 names which feels totally surreal because honestly I was just hoping a few people might notice my frustration. It is kind of overwhelming to realize how many of us are actually feeling the exact same way about our yatra even if we have not said it out loud until now.

Seeing the numbers creep up toward that hundred mark makes me think about how much we actually want to see this transition happen in our community. If everyone who already signed just grabbed one single person to look at this page we would be finished with this push in an hour.

as prabhupad said preaching is more important than management , ISKCON is a preaching movemnet not a managemnet movemnet , people who give time to do book distribution and prasadam distribution must be in managemenrt , hare krishna
Present board members lost their vote of confidence long time ago. They need to step down and a new board has to be assembled. Allow devotees who are dedicated to Lord Chaitanya's Sankirtan movement to manage ISKCON property.
I became a member of ISKCON via the Miami temple, in Nov 1972. At that time we were also in Coconut Grove [on Kumquat Ave]. Let's get this handled now before yet another spiritual oasis declines further and falls into other hands. .....just a suggestion...
Stila Prabhupadanuga Said: double it.- He never said: Sell a temple, Hide the money, Or decrease the preaching; A devotee protects Krishna's property. Control the crooks, who are after prabhupads assets.
I would like to see Iskcon Miami replace Shantu Prabhu as president of the temple. I believe that he has been very offensive to many members and the temple has become less inviting to new combers. Thank You Ricardo Dieguez (Radhanatha Das)
New management very needed
Hare Krishna, all rihgts reserved to Sri Krishna chaitanya Mahaprabhu movement.!! All glories to Srila Prabhupada mission.!! Your Humble Servent!! L. V. Haribol. !!

I always washed pots and listen to bhagavatam in the morning. When this monk came he told me not to do seva because my clothes are old and I should leave. I am sad and went to New York temple for 3 months. His body is old too .
