Analysis of Srila Prabhupada’s “Direction of Management”, the DOM
Srila Prabhupada on Removal of Temple President
“This removal of the president is very unconstitutional.”
“Regarding the election of President, a president can only be changed by vote. If no vote was taken, then the president cannot be changed. Neither Hamsaduta can change the president whimsically or can anybody else change the president.”
“ According the “Direction of Management” the GBC cannot change the President but only by vote can it be done”
“If the GBC undermines the efforts of the temple presidents how will things go on smoothly? I do not want that Sukadeva be removed from his position as I can see that he is sincerely following the principles at present. The GBC cannot whimsically change the temple president; there is a resolution to this effect.”
