Oh, yes. Many Iranians, they have become our devotees. We have got a temple in Tehran.
Guest (5): Even in India, Muslims are taking to Kṛṣṇa consciousness?
Prabhupāda: Well, Muslim India or same India, those who are intelligent, they are taking.
Guest (5): In this country also they have taken?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Some of the Pakistanis, they have taken. Of course, he is living in foreign country. One Dr. Ramjan (?), he is the professor in Portland. He is my disciple. I have given him the name, Rāmarañjana from Ramjan.
Guest (3): He has renounced his religion of Islam.
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is there. Yes. Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇam (BG 18.66). That is wanted.
Guest (3): Can you repeat his name, please?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Guest (3): Can you give his name?
Prabhupāda: I said, Ramjan, Dr. Ramjan, in Portland University.
Mahāṁśa: Also Ātreya Ṛṣi.
Prabhupāda: Ah, Ātreya Ṛṣi, yes. He is Iranian.
Dr. Ramachandra: He is also Muslim?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Many Iranians, they have become our devotees. We have got a temple in Tehran.
Devotee: In Hyderabad there is Muslim. He is a life member.
Prabhupāda: No, that, life member... God consciousness... Who will deny God? It is a science. So we are teaching the science, not the bigotry, "my God, your God." God is one. Gold is gold. Gold does not become Hindu gold, Muslim gold, or Christian gold. Anywhere gold is available, it is gold. That is our definition. Sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmaḥ. That is highest, topmost type of religion, yato bhaktir adhokṣaje, where one can learn how to love God, that's all. That is wanted. We are teaching that. There is no question of "this God, that God." God is one. You just practice how to love Him. Then your religion is first-class.
Guest (5): But why give names to Him? Why give names to that God?
Prabhupāda: No name. When I say, yato bhaktir adhokṣaje, this is not name. Adhokṣaja means "who is beyond your sense perception."
Guest (5): It can be Allah, Christ, even Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Yes. But you must know what is meaning of God. That's all. His name... Just like water. You say, "water," he says, pāni, he says, autuk (?). So water is water. Similarly, you must know what is God. Name does not matter. But Kṛṣṇa is the perfect name, Kṛṣṇa, according to Sanskrit, all-attractive. The God must be all-attractive; otherwise how He is God? That is the perfect name. Now, if you want to give another name we have no objection. There are hundreds and thousands of names, whatever you like. But it must be God's name. You must understand what is God. Then it is perfect. (aside:) Get on this light. It is scientific. It is not a religious sentiment. Why they should manufacture God? God is God. Gold is gold. And God definition is there in the Vedic literature.
