Dr. Patel: They're more religious, yes. My children . . . My son does not eat, I told you the other day, even tomatoes. The boy has passed examinations, so he's going to States for the fellowship, and I don't know what he'll do there.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) No. If you don't like to eat tomato, who is going to force you? That is not . . . (break)
Dr. Patel: Hindu, that is wrong nomenclature. There is no Hindu dharma. It is a . . . Hindu is a way of life. Even Muslims live the same way, even Christians live the same way, . . . (indistinct) . . . in the family. The sanātana-dharma is the real word. They just use it and then everyone says. I had it in a letter to American Consul about this matter. In there I mentioned the sanātana-dharma. I have said sanātana-dharma, not Hindu dharma. I have mentioned like that. Real religion is the Vedic religion.
Prabhupāda: Because the religion actually means the law given by God. Dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam (SB 6.3.19). Religion is not manufactured.
Dr. Patel: One ācārya has said, dharmāgnira sadācāra śruti smṛti prapādita(?). What is mentioned in the śruti and smṛti, that is dharma. Sadācāra. You cannot say . . .
Prabhupāda: Basic principle is that it is made by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Now there are books, how to carry out the order. And the ultimate ending: how to become faithful to the . . . (indistinct) . . . Just like good citizen means faithful to the government. Unfortunately rascals, they do not have any idea the supreme controller, supreme government. They take everything automatic.
Dr. Patel: Vaiṣṇava is a good citizen of the government of God. That is Vaiṣṇava.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is dharma. And Kṛṣṇa teaches that dharma: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam (BG 18.66). Who will surrender unless he's a Vaiṣṇava?
Pālikā: Śrīla Prabhupāda? This morning you would like to take your breakfast after the program or after resting? Because I do not want to prepare the idli . . .
Prabhupāda: No. Later.
