1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

A person born in a brāhmaṇa family, he is claiming "I am brāhmaṇa." Similarly, even though born in Āryan family, without any culture they are claiming "I am Āryan." Kṛṣṇa observed it in Arjuna, and therefore He chastised him, "This kind of proposal is anārya-juṣṭam. Under the non-Āryans, you're forgetting your duty." That is the beginning of loss of culture. A small beginning, it creates havoc. Kṛṣṇa warned this, anārya-juṣṭam. Kṣatriya's description is given in the Bhāgavata: yuddhe cāpy apalāyanam (BG 18.43), not to go behind. They must fight. That is Āryan culture.

Prabhupāda: Āryans means who follow Vedic instruction.

Dr. Patel: They have forgotten.

Prabhupāda: That is Āryans.

Dr. Patel: So they lost it.

Prabhupāda: So they are now the same thing. A person born in a brāhmaṇa family, he is claiming "I am brāhmaṇa." Similarly, even though born in Āryan family, without any culture they are claiming "I am Āryan." Kṛṣṇa observed it in Arjuna, and therefore He chastised him, "This kind of proposal is anārya-juṣṭam. Under the non-Āryans, you're forgetting your duty." That is the beginning of loss of culture. A small beginning, it creates havoc. Kṛṣṇa warned this, anārya-juṣṭam. Kṣatriya's description is given in the Bhāgavata: yuddhe cāpy apalāyanam (BG 18.43), not to go behind. They must fight. That is Āryan culture.

Dr. Patel: They are doing strategical fight. Strategically fight. They should not repeat, but our army is doing strategical fight.

Prabhupāda: There is a Bengali saying, palabanata boineki: "Am I afraid of you, that I shall not go away?"

Dr. Patel: (laughing) I understand.

Prabhupāda: "I must go away. That is my independence."
