NO ONE TO MAINTAIN GARDENS AT OUR TEMPLE???
[June 1975, ISKCON Hawaii, USA]
Usually the grounds in New Navadwip (Hawaii, USA) were very nice, but one time Srila Prabhupada arrived and they had not been maintained.
"Why this garden isn't taken care of?" Srila Prabhupada asked while touring the property.
"Srila Prabhupada," Sukadeva Dasa said. "There is no one to do it."
At the time, there were approximately 20 devotees walking with Srila Prabhupada.
"How is this?" Srila Prabhupada asked looking around at his disciples. "No one to do it?"
To make advancement in devotional service one must facilitate the pleasure of the spiritual master. By doing so one gets the grace of Kṛṣṇa. We are Dasa Dasa anu Dasa.
[Ref. Book: 'Srila Prabhupada Uvaca' by SP's Personal servant- H.G. Srutakirti Das
Chapter 43: Garden Maintenance]
