Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda? I was reading in a magazine that in Germany the people used to be pious, but after the Second World War...
Prabhupāda: They became atheist.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Completely atheists.
Guḍākeśa: Prabhupāda said that.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Because they all said, "If God is there, then..."
Prabhupāda: That... It was spoken by my, that Godbrother, Sadānanda. He told me.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That could be the possibility why the government is harassing us there so much.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. Not only... Everywhere now there will be harassment for us because this is the only movement preaching about God's glories. This is only movement in the whole world. So the harassment will increase.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Increase.
Prabhupāda: Yes. The more we sell our books, the harassment will be there. But sale is increasing.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Right. And we just double our effort.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali) ...religious persecution. We don't mind that. We shall go on with our business. (Bengali) They feel, "Now this is coming."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Threat.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They know we're threatening.
Prabhupāda: When they feel. Yes. Just like our Godbrothers. Now they're feeling; therefore there is harassment. "Harass them." Planning how to harass. Just like Hiraṇyakaśipu. When he saw that Prahlāda could not be killed in so many ways, he became very much disturbed: "What is this?" Then one day he asked, "Prahlāda, wherefrom you have got this power?" "And wherefrom you have got this power? I am getting from the same source."
Hari-śauri: He didn't like that.
Prabhupāda: Again he became angry. "Somebody else than me? I am God."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "I am world preacher."
Prabhupāda: Yes. (break)
