Prabhupāda: Again election, as if election will change their quality. They remain . . . Let them remain as rascal, and simply by election, in place of one rascal, another rascal will improve it. This is the . . . Let them remain rascal, but get vote. So that is . . . That is described in Bhāgavatam, śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ (SB 2.3.19). The population is śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra, and they are giving vote—another big paśu. That's all. This is going on. This is democracy. The voters are paśu, and he is selecting another big paśu. This is going on. The rascals, they do not know, "If instead of a tiger, we select one lion," then what is the difference? Simply name. The tiger was president. Now the lion is the president. And both of them—animals. Where is the man, human being? This is going on. And because they are paśu, śva-viḍ-varāha, they are happy: "Now there is lion. Now the tiger is driven away. Now there is lion." This is going on. Hmm? Am I right?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh, yes.
Prabhupāda: This is the . . . That's all. Bhāgavata is siddhānta-kāraṇa, so correct, so accurate, and so nicely composed. Kim anyaiḥ śāstraiḥ. In the beginning there is kim anyaiḥ śāstraiḥ: "There is no more use of any other śāstra." Śrīmad-bhāgavate mahā-muni-kṛte kim anyaiḥ śāstraiḥ, nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam idam (SB 1.1.3), kim anyaiḥ śāstraiḥ. Nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam idam, śrīmad-bhāgavatam. It is meant for the highly qualified, thoughtful philosopher. They are not flowery language. It's fact. Nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam idam. So we are trying to give to the world this nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam. Let them take it and take full advantage. Essence of all the Vedic knowledge. If they are intelligent . . . (pause) So how many men required to form a comm . . .? Is there any rule, Doctor?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Five men is good.
Prabhupāda: So you can give his name. He is Indian. Five name.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: I already have five, but . . . Sadāpūta, Mādhava, myself and Ravīndra-svarūpa, Amarendra, I think can also give.
Prabhupāda: But they are foreigners.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes.
Prabhupāda: But for Manipur business . . .
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh, for Manipur? Oh, yes.
Prabhupāda: For Manipur business don't mistake. Don't use them. We form this five-man subcommittee and take the donation. Then you develop.
