In my opinion, a single sincere soul can maintain a center. You know I started the center at 26 2nd Ave. alone. I took the risk of 200.00 dollars per month for the rent.

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "The child is insisting: 'Father, I want this'. Father says, 'No, you don't take it'. 'I shall touch it. I shall touch the fire'. Father says, 'No, don't touch it'. But he's insisting and crying, so father says, 'All right, you touch'. Similarly, we create our own fortune and misfortune. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham (BG 4.11). So the father wants us to do something else, but we want to do something else against the wish of the father. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa wants that every one of us should surrender unto Him and work according to His direction, but we want to do against His will. Therefore we create our own fortune and misfortune. That is the way." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "We, the living entities, we are part and parcel of God. Mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ (BG 15.7). Jīva-bhūta, jīvas, all jīvas, living entities, they are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, or God. When we speak of 'Kṛṣṇa', means God. God has got many thousands of name, but this one name is chief. Kṛṣṇa means 'the all-attractive'. Kṛṣṇa attracts everyone. Or one who attracts everyone, He is God." |
