Yogeśvara: ...on a book. It is accepted as being authentic. All the universities use his texts. And he has a big office in the Sorbonne. The Sorbonne is the most famous French University.
Prabhupāda: He is a big man.
Bhagavān: Actually, it's not famous. It's infamous.
Prabhupāda: No, why infamous. They are famous. Why do you say infamous?
Bhagavān: Well, I thought fame is to be referred to for devotee.
Prabhupāda: That is your sentiment, but practical world, he is a scholar, he is a head man of a department, a university. He must be famous.1976 Conversations and Morning Walks
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You said that your Guru Mahārāja said...
Prabhupāda: "If I could produce Kṛṣṇa conscious children, I am prepared to produce hundreds of children." What is the use of producing children like cats and dogs? Produce children like Prahlāda Mahārāja. The whole world will be benefited. Ekaś candras tamo hanti na ca. [break] Progeny, that is not condemned. Why it should be condemned? Let there be pregnancy, but Kṛṣṇa conscious. That, our Pradyumna's son, these, all children.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Aniruddha.
Prabhupāda: Very nice. They should be trained up properly. Special care should be taken. That is the idea of my Guru Mahārāja, a Gurukula. Gurukula, we are not going to make some big, big scholars. We don't require scholars. We require ideal men by character, by behavior, by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Not by studying grammar. There are many grammarians. Let them study our books nicely, English, little Sanskrit, that's all. Gurukula organize like that. We don't want big, big scholars. Unnecessarily. There are so many scholars in the universities, drinking and woman-hunting, that's all. In the universities, I know, to get the degree, pass the examination, the girls have to adopt prostitution with the teachers, I know that.Prabhupāda: They are searching after God, what is God. Here is God. Why don't you take it. See His activities. Aiśvaryasya samagrasya vīryasya yaśasaḥ. Tally with the formula of God, you see Kṛṣṇa is God. Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam. So whatever teeny effort I have got, I shall try to establish temples of Kṛṣṇa all over the world with my teeny income. I have got book sales. Kṛṣṇa has given me very good chance. It is beyond any dream. We are selling books sixty thousand dollars daily.
Indian man: Six lakhs about.
Indian man: Thirty thousand dollars.
Indian man: Sixty thousand dollars.
Indian man: Yes daily.
Prabhupāda: And we are known the topmost publisher of religious and philosophical books in the world. And we are approved, our books are approved by the greatest learned scholars of all universities. Because they are seeing a new light. No hodgepodge philosophy. India also, wherever we are going. Now within how many days? Within a month.1977 Conversations and Morning Walks
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This man took two himself, Mr. Vajpay.
Prabhupāda: He has...?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Taken two standing orders.
Hṛdayānanda: :For himself.
Cāru: For the university.
Prabhupāda: Sagara University. That is good.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Thirty-two
Prabhupāda: Scholars and universities... He's also big scholar, archaeologist, very big scholar. [break] ...beginning it was not so heavy. It is heavy. So even it is double weight, at that time it would cost thirty rupees. Now thirty into thirty times, nine...Correspondence
