Following the mood of Sriman Mahaprabhu (who would appoint devotees as leaders, or 'gurus' of their locality—'yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa amara ajnaya guru hana tara' ei desa'), His Divine Grace calls Sri Rama Krishna Prabhu (a disciple of Srila B.R.

Vaisnav Ke? (An Appeal to Your Mind)
'We do not want to stay in the temple because there are so many rules and regulations, everything has to be maintained at a certain time, and if you live alone, nobody will tell you anything, but you will be losing your devotional activities. Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur said that nirjan bhajan is self-deception.'

“I want us to run this mission together and want the preaching to go on
happily everywhere. I will be very happy with that.”
