Krishna consciousness transcends all sectarian labels and exists solely to serve God, never to serve government exploitation.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Mahāṁsa: They say there are many old temples which need renovation, so they will spend the money for the renovation of old temples but not construct new temples.
Prabhupāda: That means they don't want expansion. Mahāṁsa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So what kind of committee? Mahāṁsa: But that also is a farce, because they spent thirteen lakhs of rupees for construction of a temple in New York. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: New York. Mahāṁsa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So New York, we have got so many temples. Let them here. Mahāṁsa: They know. Anna Rao, who is chairman...
Prabhupāda: ...temples in foreign countries, then let them build, we shall maintain. Mahāṁsa: They are very political. They want to take charge of everything that they give money for.
Prabhupāda: Huh? Mahāṁsa: They want to take charge of everything that they give money for. Just like these temples which they have in New York, they will be in charge of them. [break] They are the pūjārīs and things...
Prabhupāda: That means they are constructing their own temple. Mahāṁsa: Yes. Acyutānanda: That will be a Gaṇeśa temple. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Why Gaṇeśa temple?
