Interviewer: Can you give us the number how many temples are there in foreign countries?
Prabhupāda: I have established 102 temples. Small and big. Out of them, very big temples are in Los Angeles, in London, in Hawaii, Honolulu, in Detroit... And...
Haṁsadūta: New York, Chicago.
Prabhupāda: New York, Chicago.
Hari-śauri: Toronto.

Interviewer: Do you have any proposal to spread this movement in Communist countries?
Prabhupāda: Yes, we have already gone. I have been in Moscow. This, my secretary, he has brought some order from them. They are also appreciating.
Interviewer: Now two priests of your temple in America have been arrested on certain charges as we read from the newspaper...
Prabhupāda: Well, the charges will be there. Gandhi was also charged, and was arrested. And that you cannot stop. That will go on in any movement. That is not any fault. Because the counter-charges are already there, everywhere. What is the American charges? I do not know. What is that?
Interviewer: That you have money from... Extortion of money from the devotees. Asking their parents to pay or some such thing.
Prabhupāda: Parents to pay. This is a farce.
Interviewer: As a donation or contribution.
Prabhupāda: So we can ask donation from anyone. What is the fault there? Is it extortion? What is that extortion? Suppose if I ask for donation...
Interviewer: No, they equate that this donation was extortion.
Prabhupāda: No, no, extortion, what do you mean by extortion? If I ask you donation and if you pay, does it mean it is extortion?
Interviewer: They say those two people were kept in custody before...
Prabhupāda: That is false accusation. There was no such charge. Besides that, we do not have many contributions. We have got contributions, big lumps of money. One of my disciples is the great-grandson of Mr. Henry Ford. So he has given a big contribution, and he's always prepared to spend for me. He has got enough money. Another boy, George Harrison, Beatle, he has given us the London temple. It is worth about fifty-five, sixty lakhs worth. So we don't get any money, but they have given us many buildings. And our main source of income is the selling of these books. We are selling books daily all over the world, five to six lakhs rupees.
