Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: I shall request you, you are young man, just try to study our philosophy. And as you are journalist, try to do some good to the people. That is your duty. Mike Robinson: Well, certainly we're trying to present both other people's views and . . . Prabhupāda: Don't take it as a sectarian religious system. It is very scientific understanding for spiritual life. Harikeśa: That, ah, "Beware of the undefeatable reasoning and logic of the Hare Kṛṣṇas, who will steal away your children." (laughs) Because we argue so nicely because Śrīla Prabhupāda has trained us up very perfectly, because he also is the perfect teacher of this. Therefore the students can learn that way. So when we argue, people become afraid, because it makes so much sense.

Prabhupāda: Yesterday George Harrison came, he stayed with me for a whole day.

Mike Robinson: Sorry?

Devotees: George Harrison came yesterday.

Mike Robinson: Yes, I know. I'd love to actually to have met the two of you together, which would have been very nice.

Prabhupāda: He came yesterday and lived with us the whole day.

Jayatīrtha: (indistinct) . . . article about the case against animal slaughter.

Prabhupāda: He has given us this house, George Harrison. Yes.

Mike Robinson: (sounds of packing equipment) Actually, it's very good, isn't it? It's a lovely house, isn't it?

Jayatīrtha: Yes, very nice house.

Mike Robinson: How do you find it in winter? Do you find it difficult coping then, or is it . . .?

Jayatīrtha: No. I do, because I'm from the desert, but our British boys of course appreciate it. When it gets over 75 they immediately become prostrated with the heat.

Mike Robinson: Which desert are you from?

Jayatīrtha: Well, from the California desert.

Mike Robinson: Oh, I see . . .

Prabhupāda: I shall request you, you are young man, just try to study our philosophy. And as you are journalist, try to do some good to the people. That is your duty.

Prabhupāda: They accuse me, "kidnapper of children." But what is my kidnapping method? The young men, they understand philosophy. What I can do, kidnapping? I have no money, I have no strength.

Mike Robinson: It exists purely as a charity, isn't that correct?

Hari-śauri: Yes, purely nonprofit.
