1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

So such an important article, there are so many discrepancies, and you have published without consulting others?.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It says: "Asked whether his city would not meet the same fate as Auroville . . ." It's not his city.

Prabhupāda: He can say that he has taken sannyāsa for his popularization? (Surabhīr Abhipālayantam enters, offers obeisances) Did you publish this article with others' consultation or by whimsical joke?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: It could be . . .

Prabhupāda: This article . . .

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Did you publish it by consulting your other colleagues, or whimsically you have published?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda's asking whether this article was published in consultation with other . . . with your Godbrothers, or how it came about that you got this article published.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Well, it was in . . . I think he went to different newspapers, just like the Indian Express and this one, and they wanted to speak with him.

Prabhupāda: So such an important article, there are so many discrepancies, and you have published without consulting others?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: I haven't seen it.

Prabhupāda: And your name is simply, "Swami . . ." There is no other name behind this plan? As if you are doing everything. You are maybe architect, but is that your plan?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Well, we had that . . . we had the interview in the . . . and I very clearly mentioned all these things.

Prabhupāda: There is no mention of any other's name, even your guru's name. You are everything there. This is very bad. This is not at all my request. It is objectionable, very much objectionable. You have done a very wrong thing. Why did you not consult others before publishing?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Well, we went with four devotees there, and I mentioned all these things, but I don't know why he didn't . . .

Prabhupāda: Where? There's no mention; as if you are doing everything.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: The first thing he . . .

Prabhupāda: This article shows that you are doing everything, and they are asking, "Your city"? They have asked. Is that your city?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: But they have concocted that, because this was not how the interview was . . .

Prabhupāda: Concocted, no. It is published. You have published a very great objectionable article without consulting others. Now you should not do anything without consulting others. I cannot allow this.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: My intention was only to . . .

Prabhupāda: No intention. Simply your name, you are everything, that's all. This is not way. You do not mention even your guru's name.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: We gave him a paper with all the things they had to put in there, very particular . . .

Prabhupāda: And they have deleted your guru's name and others' name, and they have intentionally said: "Your city," as if you are doing everything, you are getting money. How is this? You again protest that, "I gave you. Why you have published this? Again you have . . ." Give them protest.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Yes, I will, Śrīla Prabhupāda. I will immediately write them. Because I . . .

Prabhupāda: And if you have given such article to others, immediately stop it.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: No, we don't have in others. We just had an interview with them, and they put it all like this.

Prabhupāda: How they can do?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: I don't know.

Prabhupāda: Where is that original article?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Do you have a copy of the original article that you gave?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Yes. I have . . .

Prabhupāda: Is there name, others' name, in your original article? Where is that original article?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Well, we have given them a booklet which . . .

Prabhupāda: Again "booklet." You are publishing article. What is the use of booklet? Why they will take care of a booklet? Take articles and . . . they have given, asked you, "Your city." Where is that article?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: I can't explain it.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Asked whether his city would not meet the same fate as Auroville . . ."

Prabhupāda: "His city." Your city.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ". . . Swami said . . ."

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: Yeah, I never said this to him. We didn't even talk about this.

Prabhupāda: So how is that, without your saying, they are publishing?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: He did it in the same way as Indian Express . . .

Prabhupāda: Your photograph is there. That is also they have done? Or you have given your photograph?

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: They took a picture. I have only given them this picture and this picture.

Prabhupāda: Not a single man's name is there. "The Swami," your photograph . . . nothing.

Surabhīr Abhipālayantam: We will go immediately. I will go today, immediately.

Prabhupāda: But what is published, that is already damage.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Sometimes they will retract it.

Prabhupāda: Therefore they asked you, "Your city," "His city," "will build a center, fantastic . . ."

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, no one's going to give it any credence.

Prabhupāda: It is most objectionable article. So you are doing things very, full independently. This is not very good. The impression will be that "Surabhi Swami has come to construct this city, his city," like that, as if everything doing, you are the all-and-all. That's . . . no other. And "The temple will be Kṛṣṇa." Just show him, "The temple of Kṛṣṇa." You do not know what is the temple will be? Clearly mentioned. They have also manufactured? They have manufactured? What is this?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The center of the planetarium will be the temple of Kṛṣṇa."
