Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa is your father's servant that you do something wrong and Kṛṣṇa has to check it? Is your Kṛṣṇa your father's servant? Then why do you ask this question? If you allow somebody to cut your head, has Kṛṣṇa to come to save you? Why do you ask this nonsense question? You are Kṛṣṇa conscious. Samo ’haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu (BG 9.29). If you cut your own head, what Kṛṣṇa will do? In the same term, "nationalism," as Vedic culture is Kṛṣṇa's national affair, your disease is there. Why Kṛṣṇa will come to save the Vedic culture? What business He has got? If you are spoiling it, then why Kṛṣṇa will come? Spoil, and suffer. (break) . . . the same question in a different way, "Why India? Why Kṛṣṇa?" as if Kṛṣṇa is Indian. Kṛṣṇa is Indian? Then why do you ask this question that, "Kṛṣṇa will come to save India's culture"?
Bhargava: Not the Indian culture but the Vedic culture, Kṛṣṇa's culture.
Prabhupāda: Vedic culture, He has given, Bhagavad-gītā. Why don’t you accept it? You don’t accept; then suffer. He has given His instruction. The government gives you the law. Now, when you violate, the government will come to stop you? You violate, and suffer. Why do you expect that "When I violate the laws, the government men will come and stop me"? Why do you expect like that? Eh? The government can give you the law book. You consult and do accordingly, you’ll be happy. And if you don’t, against, the government man is not coming to stop you. You do, and suffer. Kṛṣṇa says: "Whenever there is discrepancy, I come." That is general, not for India. Vedic culture is not for India. It is for everyone.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It's just that people have taken India as a model of our philosophy, and sometimes people judge our philosophy by India's practical application.
Prabhupāda: That is a . . . that is a fact. India was practically following the Vedic culture. That's a fact. But now they have given up, so what Kṛṣṇa can do? They have been victimized. So if you give up your own culture . . .
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: But this propaganda is going on even here, that anything which is Indian is inferior, and anything which is European is good.
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the propaganda always. That is going on. That I already explained, that this was the propaganda of the Britishers, "Anything Indian is bad." You see, they wanted to stop our Ratha-yātrā in London as soon as they saw that it is becoming popular. Even in India the government doesn’t want that Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should go ahead. It is the demonic principle—"Kṛṣṇa should be cut down." That is the way of demonic civilization: "Stop Kṛṣṇa consciousness." Now we are preaching, "No illicit sex, no intoxication, no meat-eating." Do you think people like it?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: No.
Prabhupāda: Everyone is against this movement. So who is coming to save us? Nobody is coming. Kṛṣṇa is saving. Otherwise it would have been stopped long, long ago. I was thinking that "As soon as I shall propose all these things, immediately these American people will ask me to go back home." Instead of go back to Godhead, "You go back to India." (laughter) So it is Kṛṣṇa's kindness that you, a few boys and girls, have accepted this principle. Otherwise who likes this? Nobody likes it. Nobody likes it. Lord Zetland flatly said: "Oh, it is impossible." This is the life and soul of the modem civilization. Just see the advertisement—sex. You see? Illicit sex. Who would like our movement? Nobody likes. What is this picture means? Sex, that's all. So many advertise . . ., wine advertisement, meat-eating, gambling—everything. The modern life is going on the basis of these four principles of sinful life, and we want to stop it—nobody likes it. Still, we are selling so many books and people are hearing us.
