1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

So He left the credit for me. (laughter).

Morning Walk -- January 4, 1976, Nellore:

Prabhupāda: We have to follow Caitanya Mahāprabhu or you? Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ (CC Adi 17.31). So we have to follow Caitanya Mahāprabhu. What is this building?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is a tuberculosis hospital.

Prabhupāda: Oh.

Devotee (2): Prabhupāda, they said that if Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted Kṛṣṇa consciousness in the Western countries, why didn't He go there Himself? That's what they told us.

Prabhupāda: So He left the credit for me. (laughter)

Devotees: Jaya! Haribol!

Prabhupāda: He loves His devotee more than Himself.

Harikeśa: Why didn't Kṛṣṇa kill everybody at the Battle of Kurukṣetra?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Yaśodānandana: . . . (indistinct) . . .

Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa, by His simple desire He could kill. (laughter) He said therefore, bhaviṣyatvam. Pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma, sarvatra pracāra haibe (CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126). He is leaving the task for somebody else.
