Indian man (3): Śrīla Prabhupāda, in 1962 in Geneva only they helped, America. (Hindi)
Dr. Patel: Because that is a democracy. India . . .
Prabhupāda: And another thing, from material point of view . . . I am touring all over the world so many times. Materially nobody is as opulent as America. Nobody. Not even. . .
Dr. Patel: Because the best brains of the world are drained there. That is the real cause.
Prabhupāda: Whatever it may be . . .
Dr. Patel: Best brains of the world, they are attracted to America.
Prabhupāda: Money, everyone is trying to get money in Bombay. But why there are . . . (indistinct) . . .? It is . . . unless one is destined to get money, he cannot get. It is not that, so cheap thing, that I want money, money will come. It is janmaiśvarya-śruta-śrībhir (SB 1.8.26). Unless one is pious he cannot get money, he cannot get education.
Dr. Patel: Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanur-dharaḥ (BG 18.78).
Prabhupāda: Yes. So in that sense of materially, janmaiśvarya-śruta-śrī, these four thing . . .
Dr. Patel: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: So . . . (break) . . . taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the greatest fortune. Thousands of young men joining, but here in India nobody is coming.
Dr. Patel: Because they have already joined.
Prabhupāda: All unfortunate, now they are. They have been so much trained badly. They say frankly, "Oh, this Hare Kṛṣṇa we have seen." In America when they chant . . . the Americans are chanting on the street, and the Indian students, "Oh, this we have done much. We have nothing to . . ." Here also they are thinking like that: "What is this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement? Eh? A beggars' movement." Śāstra says, harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam (CC Adi 17.21), and these rascals are thinking, "Oh, Hare Kṛṣṇa we have seen." You see? They have become so greatly intelligent, these rascals. They do not believe in śāstra, in sādhu, in God.
