seeing through the eyes of scriptures

my Tribhuvanath Prabhu memories are mixed feelings because at the same time we had some respect for each other but we disagreed.When I came to Ireland in 1993 to help Sankirtana , Tribhuvanath Prabhu made me the sankirtana leader , but he did not like we did not sell books donated from Balabahdra in Scotland, you see in Scotland they had no bookdistribution it was just collecting for Food for life and then buying books from the BBT and giving them to Ireland and Scotland got the bookpoints but Ireland then did not have to spend money on books.But I wanted to know if this program was authorized by Sivarama Swami the GBC because it seemed bogus to me .What I found out was that some of this Laxmi from booksales then went in Tribhuvanath Prabhus pockets and he used it as he pleased for festival programs and his African preaching .So when I just had us buy books from BBT he became political against me .But never dared say anything because he knew this was some weird program he had set up with Balabhadra in Scotland.Sivarama Swami wanted me to stay on as Sankirtana leader , Tribuvanath was against for his money reason.Actually while I was there bookdistribution tripled but that is life in ISKCON always mixed with politics .I was doing 150 medium books daily especially in December in Dublin .Balabahdra fell down from sannyasa in Scotland and Tribhuvanath left his body few years later.It is hard to spread KC
Tribuvanath Prabhu shared all his pastimes with Srila Prabhupada and I know he is a sincere devotee and a Prabhupada man but we had our differences.One time he told the sankirtana devotees it was maya to have Sri Sri Radha Govinda pictures with them on sankirtana ,I said Prabhu come on now they are not dressing in front of the pictures ,just chanting and offering prasadam , that is the Deities of Inish Rath Ireland .It is hard to get justice when someone has seniority
