Room Conversation -- February 26, 1973, Jakarta:

Prabhupāda: Bhagavad-gītā or being misled by so-called big, big leaders, if you try to understand Bhagavad-gītā as it is, it will be very nice, beneficial to everyone.

That is my . . . not opinion; that is the fact. Things should be taken as it is. Call a spade a spade. Now, interpretation is required when things are not clear. When things are not very clear, not easily understood . . . There is example in Sanskrit grammar, gaṅgāyāṁ ghoṣa-pāli: "The neighborhood of ghoṣa family is on the Ganges." Now, on the Ganges—Ganges is water—how there can be a village? Now, here interpretation required. When the matter is . . .

(break) . . . on the water, but on the bank of the Ganges.

So when the meaning is not clear, then you can interpret. But when the meaning is clear . . . just like Bhagavad-gītā: dharmakṣetre kurukṣetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ (BG 1.1). Now Kurukṣetra is still there, in . . . about ninety miles away from Delhi. Perhaps you have been there. The station is there, Kurukṣetra. Now how one can interpret that kurukṣetra means this body? This is going on. In spite of clear understanding, they will interpret in their own way so that they have got their own philosophy, they want to support it. This is going on.

So if you kindly avoid this misleading interpretation, and if you take Bhagavad-gītā as it is, then you get the science of God, science of religion, which is applicable either to Indonesian or Indian or African or American—everyone. The science is appreciated everywhere. "Two plus two equal to four," this mathematical science is applicable everywhere. It doesn't matter whether one is a Christian or Hindu or Muslim. Similarly, Bhagavad-gītā is the science of religion, science of God.

So if you take this book seriously and try to spread this knowledge among your countrymen, I think you'll be very much benefited. And it can be . . . we are preaching that. We are the . . . our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant for one God, one scripture, one mantra, like that, for all people of the world. And we are happy that people are accepting it in that way, very nicely. And it is very easy. It is very easy.
