Srila Prabhupada uvaca
Yamuna Devi: “After settling in Oregon with my Godsister Dinatarine, Srila Prabhupada, while pronouncing us ‘independent’ to a concerned Godbrother, at the same time twice rebuked us when we approached him to leave. 'You westerners are so restless,’ he admonished. 'Why can’t you remain in the same place? Stay where you are.’ We questioned, 'But Srila Prabhupada, they are saying that if we aren’t in ISKCON, we lose your blessings and cannot make advancement.’ Prabhupada replied, 'ISKCON is where you are chanting the holy name - that is ISKCON.’ We rejoined: 'They are saying we don’t have any association here and are therefore in maya.’ He replied: 'Association can be two or two hundred. If you are two and compatible, you can become perfect in Krsna consciousness. If you are 200 and are not, then no one will make advancement.’
