Banabatta Dasa was temple commander in Mayapur during the 1976 GBC meetings. One day he went to Srila Prabhupada's room and complained to him that hardly any of the GBC members attended any part of the morning or evening temple programs except when Srila Prabhupada was present, namely at deity greeting, guru-puja, and Srimad-Bhagavatam class. Srila Prabhupada thanked Banabatta Prabhu. Next morning all the GBC men were in mangala-arati. Srila Prabhupada had ordered that the GBC meetings finish at a fixed time and that all GBC members attend the whole morning and evening program.
