Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

What is the effect of civilization? When they used to live in cave, they were hunting animals and eating. So you are doing the same thing. What civilization.

Prabhupāda: Like that. So Prabhupāda condemned them that, "They are not living in Rādhā-kuṇḍa. They're living in Naraka-kuṇḍa." I heard it. "They're living in Naraka-kuṇḍa."

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So our men who go to Rādhā-kuṇḍa and live there . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Hari-śauri: They're risking living in Naraka-kuṇḍa.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I remember one boy was living there for about three months, and you got very angry and told him that there were already enough monkeys in Rādhā-kuṇḍa. Do not try to jump over like a monkey. (break)

Rādhā-vallabha: The scientists have found some more brass pottery. So now they say that man first started using brass around thirty-five hundred years ago. They've announced this to the world.

Prabhupāda: Now they're not using?

Rāmeśvara: That's the origin.

Rādhā-vallabha: No, they say that thirty-five hundred years ago is when man first started using brass. They've announced this to the world.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They invented brass.

Prabhupāda: What we have to take lesson from this, huh?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They're still using it now. So that mean man is still . . .

Rāmeśvara: They are convinced that man used to live in caves, and just recently he has been civilized.

Prabhupāda: So what is the effect of civilization? When they used to live in cave, they were hunting animals and eating. So you are doing the same thing. What civilization?

Hari-śauri: Except they're doing it on a bigger scale now.

Prabhupāda: That's all.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: More organized. You mentioned that it would not be possible for them to find the remains of the bodies of the Āryans because they would burn their bodies.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Hṛdayānanda: So they only find the bodies of the lower class.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Similarly, they only find the remains of the cave dwellers.

Mahendra: Also you've said that now they're headed back to caves. By the end of Kali-yuga many will live in caves to hide.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Even now there are people living in caves.

Hari-śauri: They were living in caves then, and now they are living in pigeon holes.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Rādhā-vallabha: There was another article in the magazine that was talking about rats in India. This article was talking about rats in India.

Prabhupāda: Rats?

Rādhā-vallabha: Yes, they said how there's a big problem. There's too many rats. And it says that . . . and at the end of the article they made a sly comment about how many people considered the rats sacred. So this is a big problem. Whenever they make some report about India, they always make some joke about how the people will think the animals are sacred and how this is actually the real problem.

Prabhupāda: So why do they not go and eat the rats? Then why these people do not go there and eat the sacred rats? Huh? Please go there and eat the sacred rats. (laughter) Because you are expert in eating animal, so go and eat the sacred rats—India is a good field—and clear their problems. You write one article and send them. It is a good opportunity for the animal eaters to go to India and eat the rats, sacred rats, and solve their problems. (laughter)

Mahendra: It won't even cost anything.

Prabhupāda: Yes, free. They can take them free.
