Prabhupāda: You can tell these things. These ordinary things you can say.
Jayatīrtha: It's being recorded now. It's being recorded directly for the radio program now.
Mukunda: Śrīla Prabhupāda was a student of a great spiritual teacher in India, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī.
Mike Robinson: There's a problem with me asking him questions, is it?
Mukunda: Well, these are, just these preliminary questions. He prefers to discuss mostly the philosophical side. This is like background.
Mike Robinson: So perhaps I'd like an interview with you as well.
Jayatīrtha: That would be good.
Mukunda: You want to do it now or later?
Mike Robinson: It would perhaps be easier if I could do that one first. You could answer the ones that.... So which questions would he be happier answering? What you believe, that sort of?
Jayatīrtha: Yes.
Mike Robinson: And develop from that. I'm sorry about that. If I ask you a few questions about what you believe and that sort of, along those lines, and then get some of the background material from some of your other members of the movement. Can you tell me what you believe, what is the philosophy of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement?
Prabhupāda: Yes, it is not a question of belief, it is a science, a spiritual movement. Just like a man is living and he's dead, what is the difference? The difference is that the spirit soul or the living force is out of the body. Therefore he's called dead body. So there are two things, anyone can appreciate. One, this body, and other, the living force of the body. So we are speaking of the living force of the body. That is the difference between material and spiritual. As such, in the beginning, it is very difficult for ordinary man to understand what is our movement, but our movement begins when one understands that he is soul or something other than this body. Then this movement begins.
