Two Lines of Authority
“Both lines of authority serve their own unique
yet interdependent purposes…to give shelter
to the devotees under their care”
“We are not suggesting that managerial authority is contrary to spiritual authority. Nor are we
suggesting that the spiritual line is somehow more privileged or
intrinsically more pure.”
Definition of managementDuty to provide siksha / shelter
Srila Prabhupada:“Management is also spiritual
activity….It is Krishna’s establishment.”
