Please Note:

July 22, 1974 - Upon discovering the disobedience of the GBC to implement His 1970 Direction Of Management order (DOM), Srila Prabhupada issues a second order for the DOM in his "TOPMOST URGENCY" LETTER, which states:

Srila Prabhupada: "There shall be a Governing Board Committee of trustees appointed by the Founder-Acharya His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad according to the document "Direction Of Management" dated July 28, 1970." ["TOPMOST URGENCY" LETTER]

In '74 Srila Prabhupad authored a document and gave emphasis TOPMOST URGENCY. The document was kept hidden for decades. Those Topmost Urgent instructions were never executed. ALL of SP's Followers need to study this document & act to see that these instructions are finally carried out.

In 1970 Srila Prabhupad wrote the Direction of Management - In 1974 He wrote amendments for ISKCON temples - that were never implemented - yet on the document is the emphasis " TOPMOST URGENCY ", the most emphasis of any order he gave (that we know of) - To today that order has not been executed.
