Prabhupāda: They are industrious, and they have got resources.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And they have developed more recently, I think. They were not colonizing.
Prabhupāda: No, the colonizing propaganda was amongst these three nation: France, English. . .
Dhanañjaya: Spanish and Portuguese. Spanish also.
Prabhupāda: Ah, that side, is, means Western side.
Gurukṛpa: Spanish went to South America.
Dhanañjaya: But the British used to say, "The sun never sets in the British empire."
Prabhupāda: Yes, that we knew in our childhood.
Jayādvaita: Now there's no empire for the sun to set on.
Prabhupāda: No. Now they have made it Commonwealth, keeping some scent, flavor, of British Empire. Commonwealth.
Rāmeśvara: Prabhupāda? In those early days of colonization they were trying to sail to India by a quick route to get the spices, and it was the same time that Lord Caitanya's movement began. So is that just a coincidence that they were trying to go to India at the same time?
Prabhupāda: No. What it has got with Caitanya's movement?
Rāmeśvara: I heard. . . A devotee once told me that they were actually. . .
Prabhupāda: Oh, again, "heard it from devotee." (laughter) That is very dangerous. What Caitanya's movement has got with politics? Nothing. They drag Caitanya's movement, that. Many rascals do that. It has nothing to do with politics. It is simply spiritual. Rather, even the Muhammadans, they were very much respectful to Caitanya Mahāprabhu. They never took it as His, the political movement. Now it has become a fashion to take everything from political point of view. Just like in India, they are suspecting you as CIA. "CIA has come to become Vaiṣṇava." (laughter) (break) That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu says. If anyone remembers Kṛṣṇa by seeing somebody, that somebody is a Vaiṣṇava. He gives impetus to remember Kṛṣṇa. Therefore he is Vaiṣṇava. You stick to your principle, Vaiṣṇava. Then māyā will not touch. (break) Where is Prajāpati? He is not here?
Jayatīrtha: No.
Prabhupāda: He is going to. . .
Jayatīrtha: He's here, but he hasn't come on the walk. He's here in Vṛndāvana, but he hasn't come on the walk.
Prabhupāda: So, he is going to demonstrate anything? No.
Brahmānanda: Is he going to do any play?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Dances?
Jayatīrtha: I'm not sure.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What is your desire for that, Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Well I, I told him that "You make some play for showing here in Vṛndāvana."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's all right that the women are dancing?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Śrutakīrti: You said plays. He could do plays.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Woman, as far as possible, should be no. . . That's not good.
Devotee (1): He spoke to me about it. He wants to do four performances here.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that dancing he wants to do, or plays?
Devotee (1): Dancing.
Prabhupāda: With women?
Devotee (1): I don't know.
Prabhupāda: No.
Devotee (1): He has to do play?
Prabhupāda: So without woman there is no dancing? (laughter)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: His whole troupe is women. The New York devotees, the Vaikuṇṭha Players, they have drama group.
Prabhupāda: So drama is good. Woman dancing will not be very much appreciated here. (break) . . .scarcity of grains, and government will exact taxes for poor-feeding, and it will be used for their own purpose. These are the Kali symptoms. (break) . . .stay in future.
