Vaisnava Brahmins do not work for Salary in ISKCON !

Srila Prabhupada quoted Chanakya Pandit as a perfect example of a Vaisnava Brahmana that did not take Salary for devotional service, ,that a real Vaisnava Brahmin never accepts a salary in ISKCON ,thus who do are Sudra !Srila Prabhupada here says he is a dog, so if you get a salary in ISKCON please returne it so Srila Prabhupada will not consider you a dog !
Canakya Pandit by Srila Prabhupada, in his conversation with Prof. Kotovsky, as quoted in 'Science of Self Realization", chapter 6:
He was a great brāhmaṇa politician, and it is by his name that the quarter of New Delhi where all the foreign embassies are grouped together is called Cāṇakya Purī. Cāṇakya Paṇḍita was a great politician and brāhmaṇa. He was vastly learned. His moral instructions are still valuable. In India, schoolchildren are taught Cāṇakya Paṇḍita’s instructions. Although he was the prime minister, Cāṇakya Paṇḍita maintained his brāhmaṇa spirit; he did not accept any salary. If a brāhmaṇa accepts a salary, it is understood that he has become a dog. That is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. He can advise, but he cannot accept employment. So Cāṇakya Paṇḍita was living in a cottage, but he was actually the prime minister. This brahminical culture and the brahminical brain is the standard of Vedic civilization. The Manu-smṛti is an example of the standard of brahminical culture. You cannot trace out from history when the Manu-smṛti was written, but it is considered so perfect that it is the Hindu law. There is no need for the legislature to pass a new law daily to adjust social order. The law given by Manu is so perfect that it can be applicable for all time. It is stated in Sanskrit to be tri-kālādau, which means “good for the past, present, and future.”
