Prabhupāda: I simply advise them that, "You regularly chant the sixteen rounds. Not more; you cannot make . . . you cannot imitate Haridāsa Ṭhākura. But there must be one saṅkhyā." Saṅkhyā-pūrvaka-nāma-gāna. They are observing that, and the regulative principle: no illicit sex, no intoxication, no meat-eating, no gambling. And they are following other instructions. So they are wonderfully.
Dr. Kapoor: You know Dalmiaji's daughter-in-law, the wife of Vishnu Hari Dalmia, you see . . .
Prabhupāda: Vishnu Hari went to see me in London, perhaps with his wife.
Dr. Kapoor: Ācchā (I see). She told me, she said the movement is all right, but they are so strict, such strict rules and regulations are being imposed upon these people, how long will they be able to follow them?
Prabhupāda: That is a surprise.
Dr. Kapoor: "This is bound to fail," she said. I say: "It will succeed just because of this." (laughter) "The rules and regulations imposed upon them are like strong fences put around them to keep māyā away, you see?"
Yamunā: They want religiosity watered down.
Prabhupāda: Actually, because they are following strictly, māyā cannot touch them. Yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya vartate kāma-kārataḥ, na siddhim sa . . . (BG 16.23). Kṛṣṇa says vidhi. Bhakti-vidhi. Must be followed.
Dr. Kapoor: Must be followed.
Prabhupāda: Must be followed.
(aside) This is cut piece? Cut piece from the book cover? No. It is original photo?
Gurudāsa: A copy.
Prabhupāda: Copy.
