"Srila Prabhupada never promoted himself, he could have called it the Bhaktivedanta Movement instead of the Krishna Conscious movement. Just like you have, you know this.. Gurudev movement and this…all the missions, usually they name after the Guru. Charismatic Guru movement. Then after…this baba, that mama, that ma…whatever.
But Prabhupada, he named it the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Hare Krishna Movement, Krishna Consciousness movement. He didn't make it a Personality Cult!
His Holiness Bhakti Rasamrita Swami (previously H. G.Devamrita Das) spoke this past month at the ICC meetings (a Conference of ISKCON leaders in India) about the need for ISKCON temples and projects, in India,to consider implementing environment friendly standards.
Maharaj feels that Nature, as much as everything else, belongs to Krishna. As devotees, we should try in every way to counter or at least not add to the present environmental degradation.
Maharaj has surmised his ideas for ISKCON temple

A STORY-PAID IN FULL
young man was getting ready to graduate college. For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's
showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told
him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the

His Final Instructions
During his last months, Çréla Prabhupäda was not very active physically, and he spoke relatively little. Yet when he did speak, his words were full of spiritual strength. These excerpts from Çréla Prabhupada's last statements reveal the mind of the pure devotee and universal teacher. And they show that Çréla Prabhupäda is indeed a transcendental personality, whose devotion to Lord Kåñëa and to the mission of spreading love of Kåñëa is undying.
