Prabhupāda: Four, five months. Always snow?
Kuruśreṣṭha: Sometimes snow.
Prabhupāda: So why the temperature is so low unless there is snow?
Brahmānanda: The mountains. In the mountains there is snow?
Kuruśreṣṭha: They're like eleven, twelve thousand. This is five thousand feet altitude, here in Denver.
Prabhupāda: Snow falls above ten thousand feet?
Kuruśreṣṭha: Oh, yes. (break)
Prabhupāda: . . .Kashmir, that is sixteen thousand feet. (break) . . .do not sink? Guarantee? (laughter) (break) . . .glass building.
Kuruśreṣṭha: That's a hospital, Śrīla Prabhupāda. The temple is in a hospital zone. It keeps the price of the land very high.
Prabhupāda: Oh. (break)
Brahmānanda: Near a hospital is more expensive?
Kuruśreṣṭha: All, in this area, doctors and high class, so-called high-class men live.
Prabhupāda: The real doctor is he who can cure material disease. Eh? What do you think?
Satsvarūpa: You said Murāri Gupta was a doctor in both ways.
Prabhupāda: Yes. (japa) (break)
Satsvarūpa: Prabhupāda, yesterday one of the library parties visited this Maharishi University, which is an estate nearby. And it's very impressive, they said. It's a big university, many buildings. But in the library they had no books of Vedic literature, so they took our books. And they said they are very glad to get them. They had nothing. Buildings, but no books.
Prabhupāda: University without books. (laughter) Very good university. Anyway, if they are taking our books, that is good. What he will have? He is also another bogus man. But you people want to be cheated by this yoga, meditation. Therefore he has been able to get some facility. Only a selected group has come to me. Otherwise, they do not understand this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
Kuruśreṣṭha: Those people won't listen to any philosophy.
Prabhupāda: Therefore they have been cheated by this man.
Kuruśreṣṭha: Even we give good explanations which they can't. . .
Prabhupāda: They cannot understand the simple thing, that the child has got his future, the boy has got his future and the young man has got his future, so why not the old man? Such a dull head they have. You see. If the child says, "No, no, I have no future. I shall remain always child," is it possible? And similarly, if you say, "No, no. After old body, everything is finished. Now it is dead. . ." So they are such dull-headed men. The simple truth cannot understand. Dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanam . . . (BG 2.13). This is the position. The example is so nice and so simple, and they cannot understand. What is their brain? Animal brain. Dog race, horse race—they want this, rat race. That's all. Their civilization is race, dog race, horse race, rat race. That's all. They do not know anything. I am talking this simple thing because you are in confidence. Otherwise I would not have sa. . . Only rascals, animals, the Western people. So now it is motor race—from dog race to motor race. And does it mean if the dog is running on, race, on a car, does it mean he is not a dog? The same race, either by jumping on the land or in the motorcar. The race is the same, the dog is the same. (to devotee) So when you have come, just now?
Brahmatīrtha: No, I have been here. I was walking behind.
Prabhupāda: So it is a civilization of dog race. The man does not know, "By riding on a car, racing, is there any value if I do not know what is the meaning of my life?" Hmm? So this is going on. Big, big road for dog racing—that is civilization. (break) The rascal yogīs, they say that "By this Transcendental Meditation you will keep your dog race very nice." They are attracted, "Oh, very nice. It is very nice." That's all. Mūḍhā nābhijānāti mām ebhyaḥ param avyayam. All mū. . . rascals. Only hope is that you distribute books, as much as possible, whole Europe, whole America. If they come to some day, they will realize what is this value. (break) . . .day they will realize that what valuable books we have left for the study of the whole world. That will come. (break) . . .London city there is a big hall for dog race, you know that? Many people are coming to see the dog race. You have been in London?
Brahmatīrtha: No, but I know that. . . Yeah, I was in London, but I didn't see the dog race. But they have that in America also.
Brahmānanda: In this country they have, also.
Brahmatīrtha: In Florida it's very popular.
Kuruśreṣṭha: Denver it's very popular.
Prabhupāda: For dog race? (laughter)
Devotee: Horse race too. . .
Kuruśreṣṭha: We've gone there for distributing books before.
Prabhupāda: Anyway. . . And Australia also, Sydney, oh, they are very fond of dog race. Every man is coming with big, big dog for racing purpose.
Satsvarūpa: It's good gambling.
Prabhupāda: And Europe, the most aristocratic person means he is keeping so many horses and so many dogs. That is aristocracy. They will ride on the horse, and taking their dogs, they will go to the forest and kill some innocent birds. That is their heroic activities. We went to see one palace in France.
Satsvarūpa: Yes, I remember. In the hall they had all pictures of those activities.
