Pañca-draviḍa: In other parts of the world the sannyāsīs may be accepted as leaders before . . . the other devotees there are new and they look to the sannyāsīs for guidance because they are the senior most members in that particular area who are not often enough present there so they have no one else to look to. (break)
Prabhupāda: Yes sannyāsīs should take leadership and see that everything is nicely going on. That will be wanted. Actually sannyāsīs are topmost leaders they should see that they are chanting 16 rounds, rising early in the morning and they should also rise early, behave like that and if there is any discrepancy it should not be ended by fighting. If there is any discrepancy there should be very peaceful settlement. Not that because this man . . . (indistinct) . . . pain, let us fight . . . (indistinct) . . . beating justified. Somebody has told me the beating was justified . . . (indistinct)
Pañca-draviḍa: He beat that boy because that boy was physically attacking me to hurt me. If he did not stop him I would have been seriously hurt Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: No, that's all right . . . that's check . . . so why you are misunderstanding this now . . . (indistinct) . . . that check, not that because he is coming I shall not kick, then where is my direction? I'm going to check that, not that I'll also become demon-like. First have to stop . . . stop the fighting between them when there was no ways to stop the fighting then war was declared.
