Dear Vaisnavas and Vaisnavis, Please accept my humble obesiances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada ! I just came across Tribe today, while looking for some health advice on improving digestion, but the most healthy thing I came across is this wonderful site on Srila Prabhupada ! Thank you very much for creating it , and contributing to it !
Ive been asked to give a lecture in England about Forgiveness, and I would be greatful if anyone would please share with me a pastime they may know of where Srila Prabhupada exhibited his forgiving mood toward a devotee or group of them, and what we can learn from it. THank you very much for your input. I look forward to hearing from you !
Your aspiring servant,
Gaura dasa

My dear Gargamuni,
<snip>
Jayananda is a very sincere and intelligent boy and I think his decision should be accepted as final in the matter. Not only in this case, but in every other complicated case. The elected authorities in the management of the temple should be the final authority in these matters. Otherwise, the society cannot be managed. Our main principle should be to advance the cause of K.C.
I am glad to learn that your co-operation for this society is appreciated by the authorities, We should learn to forget and forgive minor incidents because whenever there are two men in a place, there is always some misunderstanding. Such misunderstanding happens even between husband and wife--what to speak of others. But we have to adjust things on the basis of Krishna Consciousness. We should always remember that K.C. is a challenge to the modern misguided human society, and we have to meet many unfavorable incidents.
But of we are sincere to Krishna and the Spiritual Master, combinedly, then everything will be favorable settled. We should always remember that K. C. can only remain on two parallel lines of Krishna and Spiritual Master. Chant Hare Krishna sincerely and all good intelligence consultation shall come from within. Krishna says that those who are engaged in My service, I give intelligence for his progressive march.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
