Prabhupāda: He has got good experience because university students they have become so rascal. In the university they don't care for professors, teachers. Don't care.
Rāmeśvara: Yes. Then the professor and the head of the Department of Bengali and the dean of the faculty of Fine Arts and Music at the University of Calcutta says, "The world, tormented by psychic troubles like avarice, hate, and other baser qualities of the mind, will never escape from utter annihilation of the soul unless it finds refuge in His Divine Grace. I have particularly read some portions of this English translation of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, and I think this book is capable of saving mankind from the clutches of māyā. I have no doubt that the ISKCON will lead the world to the path of divine grace."
Gargamuni: He's a very big scholar, too. He's a Ph.D.
Prabhupāda: No, all of them Ph.D.'s. All...
Rāmeśvara: And here, Dr. Jagadish Sharma. He's the author of nineteen books, a very well-learned man. He says, "The work done by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda toward the revivalism of Hindu culture and civilization is unsurpassable. His Holiness has done a great service to Indian culture by reinterpreting the concept enshrined in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. This edition of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will go a long way to help the scientists in rediscovering phenomena of the universe which is yet to be discovered. The thoughts of this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam radiate to anyone who sees it. This book helps to brighten the gloomy and dark clouds which are covered by the nuclear fear and the apprehensions of society."
Prabhupāda: So let the judge read this opinion, read this book.
Gargamuni: Yeah, these men are famous men of India. This Jagadish Sharma is the most famous man in Punjab.
Prabhupāda: He is young man?
Gargamuni: Jagadish Sharma?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Gargamuni: I have not met him. I don't know. But he's very famous.
Prabhupāda: Young men means about forty.
Gargamuni: Yeah. I think he's around forty or forty-five.
Rāmeśvara: But then the best one is by Dr. Mukherjee, former Chief Justice. He writes that "This book is an intellectual, a cultural, and a spiritual landmark in this world. The beautiful printing and photographs evoke the spirit of the work. It is a book which should be in the library of every reader who values the essential glories of human life..."
Prabhupāda: This is the judgment of the Chief Justice. He's not ordinary man.
Rāmeśvara: "...and the ultimate destiny of this universe." Then there is that other quote. This is also very important, by the Deputy Director of the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
Gargamuni: That Subhramaniam.
Rāmeśvara: He's a big man. And this is the national government.
Gargamuni: No, the central. Lok Sabha is like the Parliament.
Prabhupāda: Lok Sabha is Parliament. Lok Sabha means Parliament.
Rāmeśvara: Congress of the National Government.
Gargamuni: Yes. No, no, no. Central government. Yes, what you say is national.
Rāmeśvara: "This is a rare opportunity for people and leaders of every country, every race, and every community in the world to know and understand the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. I would say that this encyclopedia of spiritual knowledge is more important and fundamental than the encyclopedia of any other branch of knowledge and should therefore find a rightful place not only in the public and private libraries, big and small, not only in educational and other institutions, but also in every household, and above all, in the hearts and minds of every man and woman."
Prabhupāda: And he is not ordinary man. He is...
