Prabhupāda: ...accept London. Haṁsadūta, when he was GBC.... He's still GBC?
Jagadīśa: Haṁsadūta?
Prabhupāda: That part? No.
Jagadīśa: No, Jayatīrtha is.
Prabhupāda: So there was some complaint against him.
Jagadīśa: Against Mādhavānanda?
Prabhupāda: Hmm. The complaint is that he spent money on his own account lavishly.
Jagadīśa: Hmm. I don't know about that.
Prabhupāda: Some of the life members complained. I received several complaints. The other day I asked, "You collected some money for constructing temple, so where is that money?" So he gave explanation. So thirty, fifty thousand pounds were collected by him.
Jagadīśa: From Ambarīṣa?
Hari-śauri: No, this was in England.
Jagadīśa: Oh, in England, oh.
Prabhupāda: But there is only balance two thousand five hundred.
Hari-śauri: Yes, just two or three thousand.
Prabhupāda: All the money, he said, spent. Now they are asking for loan for purchasing one house. This money was collected for temple construction.... We were awaiting opportunity. In the meantime, money spent.
Jagadīśa: Have there been any complaints from Detroit? Have there been any similar complaints from Detroit?
Prabhupāda: In Detroit I have received complaint, that.... Many.... Govardhana was popular president.
Jagadīśa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Popular. Everyone liked him.
Jagadīśa: Yes, very gentle soul.
Prabhupāda: Ah. So this is complaint I received.
Jagadīśa: They don't like Mādhavānanda?
Prabhupāda: Some of them say.
Hari-śauri: He's forceful. He's quite a forceful person.
Prabhupāda: What is this forceful?
Hari-śauri: Well, if someone is very active, then it's only natural that some people will not be very keen on him, because he likes to get things done. Those that are a little slow, sometimes they complain. Maybe just that he's only been there a month or so. He's only been there not too long, so it's natural that it will take some time for the devotees to adapt to doing the things according to his direction rather than the way that they've been used to doing it. There's always some transition.
