So the old culture has to be revived. And this is an attempt, humble attempt, to revive our old culture, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We should join together.

Indian man (1): Bhagavad-gītā also mentions that the mantram also is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian man (1): . . . in some ślokas . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: In another place, Bhāgavatam, it is said, bhavauṣadhi. Nivṛtta-tarṣair upagīyamānād bhavauṣadhi chrotra-mano-'bhirāmāt (SB 10.1.4).

Mr. Pandiya: Before that, I was at Berhampur.

Prabhupāda: Four years younger. Yes.

Mr. Pandiya: Forty-five.

Prabhupāda: But his health is nice. He looks younger. (pause) So in this book the whole incident is described.

Indian man (1): . . . (indistinct)
