\nSatsvarupa dasa Goswami: Dependent on Krishna.
\nHe would record every amount received; yet Prabhupada didn\u2019t worry about the money at all. When he moved from one place to another in 1966, he didn\u2019t worry about the rent money, but simply depended on Krishna. American hippies were accustomed to living as mendicants too, but their renunciation was more an act of irresponsibility, and therefore, simply another variety of materialism. Prabhupada was purely renounced in Krishna\u2019s service.
\nIt is an amazing feature of Prabhupada\u2019s surrender and dependence on Krishna that he came to the West completely alone with no material backing. Because the Gaudiya Matha had become divided after his spiritual master left this world, there wasn\u2019t enough solidarity among his godbrothers to fund him from his Guru Maharaj\u2019s institution. If someone pressed him about what religion he was representing, or about who sent him, he couldn\u2019t claim anything other than a philosophical and spiritual connection with the Gaudiya Matha.
\nPrabhupada didn\u2019t demand his disciples to do what he did \u2013 to go alone to a new place without any income \u2013 but it inspired us to think that he founded the movement on his complete dependence on Krishna.
