Monarchy means the king was properly trained up. Similarly, in the democracy, if people are properly trained up, then they will vote for nice men and there will be nice government.

Guest (4): Where are they to be trained, then? How are they . . .

Prabhupāda: That we are proposing. When we open a center we shall train anyone. It doesn't matter whether he is born in a śūdra family or Brahmin family. Just like they are born in a different family other than Brahmin, but they are now Brahmin, because after being trained up.

Guest (4): (indistinct) . . . regard, you said that monarchy and democracy, both are systems which cannot help this cause. Then . . .

Prabhupāda: No, why cannot help? If . . . monarchy means the king was properly trained up. Similarly, in the democracy, if people are properly trained up, then they will vote for nice men and there will be nice government. Now, because the people are not trained, they are practically asses. The votes of the asses, what has the meaning? If the majority are asses, then one ass will be elected. That's all. So when the executive head is an ass, what benefit he can do to the people?

Guest (5): I see.

Guest (4): Mahārāja, you said that you had been misrepresented in that report which appeared yesterday in one of the dailies of the cities.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Guest (4): How could you like to mend your statement?

Prabhupāda: My statements are clear there, but he has misstated in the heading with ulterior purpose.

Guest (4): . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Young men of cities, they may come to me and be trained up in the spiritual life, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. (Hindi: I will keep as much as I can . . .) So long you'll ask me to keep there, provided you are serious of taking training from me . . .
