1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

So by your transcendental endeavor it is being fulfilled, otherwise who expected that in this remote village of France, Hare Krsna maha-mantra would be chanted? When Caitanya Mahaprabhu said in every village, in every town, he did not mean that every village and every town in India. He specifically says prthivite, means on the surface of the globe. So the purpose is that without spreading of this Krsna consciousness movement, nobody can become happy. That's a fact.
Arrival at Farm -- July 29, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm):

Prabhupada: So I am very glad to see you again in this village.

Devotees: Haribol!

Prabhupada: Hare Krsna. It was the prediction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu that in every village, in every town on the surface of the globe, there will be preaching of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's name and the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. It is to be translated? (translator translates into French) So by your transcendental endeavor it is being fulfilled, otherwise who expected that in this remote village of France, Hare Krsna maha-mantra would be chanted? When Caitanya Mahaprabhu said in every village, in every town, he did not mean that every village and every town in India. He specifically says prthivite, means on the surface of the globe. So the purpose is that without spreading of this Krsna consciousness movement, nobody can become happy. That's a fact. The opportunity of human form of life is systematcially being refused by the modern civilization. This material activity only for the bodily comforts of life, that is not human civilization. Human civilization means the human being must know the supreme controller and the aim of life. The real fact is that God is there, the supreme controller, and we, living entities, we are His parts and parcels. As parts and parcels of God, we, being separated, we are suffering. An example can be given in this connection, just like a small child is the part and parcel of the body of the mother. So the child is happy when the child is on the lap of the mother. That means the part and the whole must live together. Then there is happiness. Otherwise, there is distress. The modern godless civilization is making the part and the whole separated. Therefore the whole condition is chaotic. You have got experience in your this part of the globe, within fifty years there have been two big, big wars and... Many other parts also. People are not in happiness on account of godlessness. So actually if we want to be happy in this life and the next life, then we must take to Krsna consciousness. And it is not at all difficult: simply chant the Hare Krsna mantra. So I am very glad that you are accustomed to chant this Hare Krsna maha-mantra. Stick to it and you'll all be happy. Thank you very much. (break)

Bhagavan: These are all smelling flowers. They're very sweet, like gardenia.

Prabhupada: Oh, developed(?) in our garden.

Bhagavan: No, we bought. These we cannot grow. We bought these special.

Prabhupada: You have got a greenhouse?

Bhagavan: Yes.

Prabhupada: Still you cannot grow?

Bhagavan: It was too late, we started too late.

Prabhupada: Last time I stayed in this room?

Bhagavan: No, you stayed in another room. You stayed in my office. This is silk wallpaper.

Prabhupada: Oh.

Bhagavan: Saffron.

Prabhupada: Organize this center very nicely. So many people will be happy.

Bhagavan: The devotees are very ecstatic.

Prabhupada: Oh. Yes, there was no hope for my coming. Now I've come, they must be. (laughter) Sunshine will stay at least up to noon, huh?

Bhagavan: No, till five o'clock.

Prabhupada: Accha?
