Prabhupāda: Oh. Where is Akṣayānanda?
Jayādvaita: Here, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Akṣayānanda: They enjoyed . . . we showed them the New Vrindaban film, Hindi. They enjoyed it very much. Also they asked us to speak. They said: "But don't speak anything about the Gītā."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Really?
Akṣayānanda: Yes. They said: "You can speak what you like about ISKCON, but we know all about Gītā. Don't speak anything about Gītā. Tell us about the progress of ISKCON." So I read out how many books have been printed and distributed since Your Divine Grace started ISKCON, how many farms you've established, how many centers, how many devotees all over the world and like that. They're very dry. But nonetheless, the film was so nice that they were very much impressed by it. They took prasādam. They enjoyed it very much.
Prabhupāda: "Don't speak of Gītā"?
Akṣayānanda: Yes. Gītā-pratiṣṭhāna, but "Don't speak of Gītā." It's foolishness.
Prabhupāda: Now the danger is māyāvādi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa (CC Madhya 6.169). So Vṛndāvana is full of Māyāvādīs. Do you accept it? And I am afraid our men may not be influenced. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's clear saying—māyāvādi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa. Hmm? What is to be done? (break) Hmm? They are coming to our Vṛndāvana temple, Bombay temple. What is their purpose? They may occupy it? Hmm?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, they can't occupy it.
Prabhupāda: So we have to be very careful. Hmm?
Akṣayānanda: Yes, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Akṣayānanda? And Tamāla?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, they're not going to get in. From now on we're going to have a sign on all of our temples, "No Māyāvādī Meetings Allowed."
Prabhupāda: It is clearly written, māyāvādi-bhāṣya śu . . . Sixth Chapter. Hmm? The Sarvabhauma . . .
Bhavānanda: One sixty-nine.
- jīvera nistāra lāgi' sūtra kaila vyāsa
- māyāvādi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa
- (CC Madhya 6.169)
That's Sixth Chapter, Madhya-līlā, verse 169. "Śrīla Vyāsadeva presented the Vedānta philosophy for the deliverance of conditioned souls, but if one hears the commentary of Śaṅkarācārya, everything is spoiled." Shall I read the purport, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
