Hari-śauri: They didn't leave you very much choice.
Prabhupāda: I thought, I could not do something tangible. That's a fact. (indistinct) Somehow or other, I thought, let me go to Vṛndāvana. What is the use of fighting? Otherwise, all the big lawyers in Jhansi, they were my friends. They said that "You not go. We shall arrange." I thought that "I have left my home, for this reason I am going to, again litigation. I don't want this house. Let her do something."
Hari-śauri: The League of Devotees, was that Godbrothers again? Was that some Godbrothers that you joined up with or was that just...
Prabhupāda: No, after leaving Jhansi I went to this Godbrother.
Hari-śauri: Keśava.
Prabhupāda: I lived there for few months. Then I went to another Godbrother, that Imlitala, Delhi. Then I left there. I used to live alone in Delhi. Then I took one house in Keśī-ghāṭa. Then the Rādhā-Dāmodara men they called me that "You can live here. We give you two rooms. We don't charge. We give you the place." I came to Rādhā-Dāmodara. And from Rādhā-Dāmodara temple I went U.S.A.
Hari-śauri: I was just wondering what exactly the League of Devotees was.
Prabhupāda: Oh, League was that, that was... I was trying to collect some devotees. Some of them, they were medical... Yes. Medical students. So they came and used to live with me. But still, I lived there for two years. From 1954 to '56. I had some surgical operation in my testicles there. They were taking care. This Prabhākāra and... They were not full time. They were students. That's all. They were living with me.
Hari-śauri: But your Bhāgavatams, it says they were published by the League of Devotees. Does that just mean yourself or there were others?
Prabhupāda: (laughs) That was... League of Devotees was my organization. Therefore I gave that name.
Hari-śauri: But actually it was just you. Oh.
Prabhupāda: That League of Devotees, I was alone doing. (laughs)
Hari-śauri: I was trying to understand who it could be.
Prabhupāda: I am everything at that time. There were some students, but they were not any active. I was doing everything. That League of Devotees means I am everything. I wanted to organize with this Prabhākāra Miśra and others. But they were not interested to be...
Hari-śauri: Not to become Vaiṣṇavas.
Prabhupāda: No, to devote whole time. They were... Just like Prabhākāra comes still. But if you ask him to do full time work, that he'll not do. Therefore I did not initiate others. He was initiated, Haridāsa. But they were all learned scholars, Sanskrit.
Hari-śauri: Do any of them come now? Do any of them come now apart from Prabhākāra?
Prabhupāda: Hmm? No, they are, they have gone in the... They are practicing as medical men. They were students, medical students. Now they are practicing.
Hari-śauri: They don't come to see you or anything now?
Prabhupāda: Sometime they came. Long time it is passed. That was in 1956 or '55. No, '54.
Hari-śauri: In Jhansi.
Prabhupāda: So, twenty years past. More than twenty years. You can speak of twenty years history. What is that? (end)
