Reporter (1): Can you tell me who is Lord Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: Well, Kṛṣṇa is God, the Supreme Personality of God.
Reporter (1): And what will it profit us if we get to know about Him?
Prabhupāda: The profit means you'll be saved from the material existence. Material existence means repetition of birth, death, old age, and disease.
Reporter (1): How does He speak?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Reporter (1): How does He speak to you or to us?
Prabhupāda: He was present five thousand years ago. He came on this planet and gave instruction, Bhagavad-gītā. So that is recorded.
Reporter (1): Why have you written Bhagavad-gītā as it really is? Why?
Prabhupāda: As it is, because there are many foolish rascals, they interpret unnecessarily. Just like Kurukṣetra. Kurukṣetra is a place in India, still existing. So in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ (BG 1.1). The meaning is clear, that "Kurukṣetra is a religious place and there, the Pāṇḍavas and the Kurus, they assembled together for fighting." But many so-called leaders, political leaders, scholars, they have interpreted, "Kurukṣetra means the body."
