Category:My Plan (Prabhupada)
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda's plan for the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement was not a worldly business strategy but a divine mission rooted in the instructions of his spiritual master. From his early days dreaming of reaching New York to the structured implementation of the GBC and self-sufficient temples, Śrīla Prabhupāda demonstrates that a successful mission requires both unwavering faith and expert organization. These quotes illustrate his desire to transition from active management to focus on translation, his strategic plans for global expansion, and his commitment to establishing a unique training center for the benefit of the world.
- The Blueprint from His Spiritual Master: Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that his entire mission was based on a single instruction received from his guru, from which he never deviated, focusing his plans on how to fulfill that vision successfully.
- Strategic Global Expansion: The planning involved specific geographic targets—opening 108 centers across America, Europe, and Australia—and calculating the most effective and affordable ways to reach these destinations.
- Management and Training: To ensure the longevity of the movement, Śrīla Prabhupāda planned for each temple to be independent and self-sufficient while training his senior disciples through the GBC to handle all management burdens.
- The Literary and Artistic Foundation: A central part of the plan was the production of books, magazines like Back to Godhead, and transcendental artwork, ensuring the message of Kṛṣṇa was presented beautifully and distributed widely.
