1972 Conversations and Morning Walks

Now something is in your hand—Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That was my plan that I shall carry this baggage and give it to the Americans and they will distribute. That was my plan, therefore I came to America. So now you are so many boys, young boys, you have understood. So do it and give me relief. I remain in the background. Let me finish my Bhāgavata Purāṇa and those who are assisting in the writing, I'll be there (indistinct). That this institution, ISKCON will give to the world so many valuable jewels. There is no comparison.


Conversation with the GBC -- May 25, 1972, Los Angeles:

So our idea is Vṛndāvana. So our love for Kṛṣṇa should be so strong that we don't care for anything. But for preaching, if somebody challenges, "Yes, we are prepared to talk." That is authority. That is uttama-adhikārī. His love is Kṛṣṇa, is enormous, but not sentiment. If anyone wants to talk with him, "Yes, come on." That is uttama-adhikārī, mahā-bhāgavata.

So this is the position. Now something is in your hand—Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That was my plan, that I shall carry this baggage and give it to the Americans, and they will distribute. That was my plan. Therefore I came to America. So now you are so many boys, young boys, you have understood. So do it, and give me relief. I'll remain in the background. Let me finish my Bhāgavata Purāṇa, and those who are assisting in the writing, I'll be there for . . . (indistinct) . . . at least in this institution, ISKCON, give to the world so many valuable jewels, there is no comparison. That you will have to see. Then see. Yes . . . (indistinct) . . . already they are appreciating on account of . . . (indistinct) . . . the paper, what is that paper . . .

(indistinct) . . . are properly distributed around thinking men, scholars. Similarly, we should introduce ourself in the schools, colleges, universities. This is our program. So I have got my program now . . . (indistinct) . . . so, so far Vṛndāvana question is concerned, there is, already it is solved. Now you make, utilize, and place yourself in the world.
