<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- March 9, 1974, Mayapura|Morning Walk -- March 9, 1974, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-śṛṅgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau **. Tan-mandira-mārjanādau. That is also great service. If you guide other people, and you do yourself, just to keep the temple very neat and clean, it will be a very, very, great service.</p>
<p>Guest (5): Yes, yes, yes. I am ready to do that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, then you are welcome immediately.</p>
<p>Guest (5): And that is my desire, all, inner desire.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Āpani ācari prabhu jīve śikhāilā. If you show example how to keep the temple neat and clean, then these foreigners also will learn from you. (break) ...those who are earning money, they should... But we are giving them books. So our books are worth about three thousand rupees. But we are simply collecting eleven hundred.</p>
<p>Guest (4): All that they wanted, I understood from the talk, informatory, informations I mean, in their own dialect.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, one thing is that at least in Bengal they do not require much information because this Caitanya Movement is their movement. It is simply a plea. Everyone know that Caitanya Mahāprabhu came to distribute the Hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana. This is the essence, and let them help, prāṇair arthair dhiyā vācā, by life, by money, by words. This is the movement. Why they are anxious to get information more? That is a plea. Everyone knows what is Caitanya Mahāprabhu, at least in Bengal.</p>
<p>Bhavānanda: I tell them that when they ask.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Bhavānanda: I say, "Why you are asking me that? You already know."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Rather, they are to give information. But this is a plea. Bhagavad-gītā is, was not made in London. (laughter) It was spoken in India. Why they are asking? That means they have become so rascal and fool they do not know what is Bhagavad-gītā, what is Caitanya Mahāprabhu? Their position is so low-graded now?</p>
<p>Guest (1): They do not like to learn it. They do not like to know it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's it. Is Bhagavad-gītā imported from London? Why do they ask like this? How much degraded they have become.</p>
<p>Guest (1): And our answers must be like this.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. As if you are... They are importing knowledge from Lenin, these rascals, and they do not know what is Bhagavad-gītā. How much degraded they have become. Just see.</p>
<p>Guest (2): They even go as far as to say that this Bhagavad-gītā is adulterated now, and...</p>
<p>Guest (4): Maybe also they...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Adulterated?</p>
<p>Guest (2): Yeah, they say so many things have been added to it. Sometimes some rascals come to criticize to that extent.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that addition?</p>
<p>Guest (2): Well, when you come to, when you come to ask a specific answer, they say, "If you bring Bhagavad-gītā, we'll show it to you."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So bring Bhagavad-gītā. What is the addition?</p>
<p>Guest (2): This was, this was pointed out by quite a few in the train.</p>
<p>Guest (4): No, you can ask them at that time, "Please place one book like that which is adulterated, and it is somehow or another added in it."</p>
<p>Guest (2): But what is their source of knowledge?</p>
<p>Guest (4): They have no, no source of... They like to</p>
<p>Guest (2): Speculate...</p>
<p>Guest (4): They like to convey...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They do not know what is Bhagavad-gītā, but they can say it is added and subtracted. They're... But they do not know what is Bhagavad-gītā. Yes.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Sarva-dharmān parityajya ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). There is no adulteration there. Very simple.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So you, all Indians, you have to do this. This is simply a plea to avoid. In Bengal, everyone knows Caitanya Mahāprabhu was for chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Guest (4): But so far, most of them, perhaps, also wanted informations regarding, full informations regarding ISKCON.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ISKCON. That is a short-cut of "International Society for Krishna Consciousness."</p>
<p>Guest (4): No, that I know, myself. They wanted to know, in their own language, etc... And for that I meant...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, it is, it is...</p>
<p>Guest (4): ...a sort of booklet in local dialect, in the Bengali. To be more propagated.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So I can give you the hints. You prepare a leaflet immediately, and we publish.</p>
<p>Guest (4): Yes, yes. I, we have already prepared. Already...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Come. I shall give you more hints. Immediately come. I shall give you. Only need... (break) They should come forward. That is needed. Otherwise, everything is there.</p>
<p>Guest (4): I was having discussions with Pāñcajanya Prabhu regarding these things. Even to have them locally printed.</p>
<p>Bhavānanda: Anyway, we can work that out.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Bhavānanda: Yes, it's all taken care of. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "Waves in the ocean. Let it, let it be stopped. Then I shall start my boat." It will never come.</p>
<p>Guest (4): Then this is not my intention.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It will never come.</p>
<p>Guest (4): It is not my intention.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Start boat immediately, in whatever condition.</p>
<p>Guest (4): Any circumstance.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Any circumstance. That is required.</p>
<p>Guest (2): We should take it very seriously.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. (break) "First of all let us become economically fit. Then we shall consider our spiritual." This is nonsense.</p>
<p>Guest (1): That will never come.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All the big, big leaders, they wanted to keep themselves economically fit, but when death came, they had to surrender. "Yes sir, (Bengali)"</p>
<p>Guest (4): Many leaders are economically...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They do not... They're not leaders. I say they're rascals.</p>
<p>Guest (4): They do not live here, and they must...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All these leaders, I must say clearly, they're all rascals, misleaders. Not only in our country, all over the world. Therefore we have started this movement, who is real leader? (end)</p>
