Guest 1: To get the Indian culture again to the west is very difficult work. Everyone follows the Indian way. We also had a big festival for Guru Purnima.
Prabhupāda: Ok.
Guest 1: about 9000 people had come.
Prabhupāda: Where?
Guest 1: In Alexandra Palace, just now on 11 July. We are also thinking to build a small asrama and we would like that we complement you and your organization complements us and we can work cooperatively.
Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Guest 1: So we can do more good for the world.
Prabhupāda: Our preaching is based on kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam (SB 1.3.28). They don’t agree. They say we are sectarian. Isn’t it? Their only aim is, how can Krishna be God? We have our God, he is God, he is God, everyone is God. That we won’t agree. kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam। So we don’t agree on this.
Guest 1: Yes there are some differences.
Prabhupāda: Then how can we reconcile, tell me.
Guest 1: Whichever point we can agree on we can do.
Prabhupāda: Not possible, it will become hodge podge. Everyone is God, how can we agree.
Guest 1: Then how about what is in our whole culture, our other gods who are there, panca deva upasana.
Prabhupāda: deva upasana is foolishness.
