Atreya Ṛṣi: ...has done, and what everyone likes to do.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah.
Prabhupāda: That's all right.
Atreya Ṛṣi: And then we will decide.
Jayatīrtha: That's nice. That's nice. So I can go on and read these...?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayatīrtha: I hope this isn't, er... Anyway, this is discussing the responsibilities of the GBC men in their zones. So we've already said to organize opening new temples, to appoint temple presidents for new temples, to be responsible for training all temple presidents and insuring spiritual standards. In the case of major deviation or resignation...
Prabhupāda: Now, you... First of all, you finish one business. That Oath of Allegiance, so addition, alteration, you have made, complete, so that it may be typed?
Jayatīrtha: Satsvarūpa is...
Satsvarūpa: The only thing we've done is comment that Asnani's form hasn't specified on devotional principles.
Prabhupāda: So make addition, alteration, I say. You amongst yourselves.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In other words, add that one must follow four regulative prin...
Satsvarūpa: I can just add what Brahmānanda Mahārāja has.
Prabhupāda: So do it amongst yourselves.
Jayatīrtha: All right.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda wants to finalize.
Prabhupāda: Discuss and do it, and make a final...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This Oath of Allegiance is a legal document also, isn't it?
Prabhupāda: Eh.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's both a legal document and a spiritual document.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Atreya Ṛṣi: Everything we have is spiritual.
Prabhupāda: We cannot avoid.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But there must be legal also. That's the point.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayatīrtha: So somebody can read it?
Prabhupāda: So next make this final.
Atreya Ṛṣi: I recommend that you put Brahmānanda Swami's reco..., on the top part, just...
Prabhupāda: Hmmm? What is that?
Atreya Ṛṣi: Brahmānanda Swami's proposals, top portion, we'll just add?
Prabhupāda: Yes. So whatever you make, addition, alteration, make it copied.
Atreya Ṛṣi: And give it to be typed.
Prabhupāda: Don't keep it. Finish one business.
Satsvarūpa: So it's just a matter of typing it, then?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Satsvarūpa: We can't sign anything now. It's not any...
Prabhupāda: No, I mean to say, you are... You make some addition, alteration, to that. So make it complete. Then retype and then sign.
Satsvarūpa: Yes. Everyone has agreed on what it should be.
Atreya Ṛṣi: Has everyone agreed?
Madhudviṣa: Well, why don't you read it? Why don't you compose it and then let us all see what it says.
Satsvarūpa: If I can read it out loud... Can I have the other...?
Brahmānanda: We're... Read what the proposal at the top portion...
Madhudviṣa: I give Satsvarūpa the whole thing in that...(?)
Satsvarūpa: All right. So the whole thing, then, would read like... This is a proposal that it should read like this: "I, spiritual name, as initiated disciple, and GBC secretary of His Divine Grace..."
Madhudviṣa: Both names should be there.
Atreya Ṛṣi: No, prabhuji...
Madhudviṣa: Spiritual and, and, and legal name...
Atreya Ṛṣi: It should start with this.
Satsvarūpa: Well, it's not sure what it should start with. That's it.
Madhudviṣa: Both names should be there because a spiritual name is not legal.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's a fact.
Jayatīrtha: Both names. Good.
Satsvarūpa: "...as GBC secretary of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, the founder..."
Prabhupāda: You... You... You make one copy, your copy, and make addition, alteration, corrections, and then copy the same thing for other men. That will be easier.
Satsvarūpa: All right.
Prabhupāda: You... You just fill up one copy, as you are doing. So make addition, alteration, your name, your spiritual name, everything complete. So, following that copy, others will do. (?) Is that all right?
Atreya Ṛṣi: I recommend that we keep this one.
Prabhupāda: Or you can make... Anyone, you can take.
Atreya Ṛṣi: In this shape.
Prabhupāda: You, you can make addition, alteration, everything, and read it complete. Then take that proposal. That's all.
Jayatīrtha: So maybe, Atreya Ṛṣi, you can write out a final draft of it...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayatīrtha: ...including both things, and then you can read it to everyone.
Atreya Ṛṣi: Where's Brahmānanda Swami?
Jayatīrtha: Is that all right? Should we go on while he's writing?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayatīrtha: We can go on.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayatīrtha: The main purpose of these points is simply to try to put it down in writing what the GBC man can do himself, what things he requires—the whole group—what things he requires to consult with others on, in this way, so there won't be any question "What I can do, what I can't do." Is that all right?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Jayatīrtha: O.K. (Reading) "To insure that the highest standards, including spiritual temple worship, saṅkīrtana propaganda, recruitment of new devotees and life members, financial management and repayment of all debts are being adhered to."
Prabhupāda: Why debts? Debts should be avoided. Not payment, but one should not make debt.
