<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- February 25, 1977, Mayapura|Room Conversation -- February 25, 1977, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Yes. The rascal Sai Baba says, "I am God."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Now it seems that they have detected him for sure. He's really becoming publicly denounced now all over the world.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ācchā.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes. They were saying, those two Bengali gentlemen this morning, the film producers, were saying that the scholars here now and some of the newspaper people are beginning to expose, that "This is a complete cheater. This Sai Baba is cheating, and why are the innocent people falling for him? What kind of fool is he that he says he's God?" It's a good thing that they're exposing him, because he was the most acclaimed so-called "bhagavān" of them all. He is the most respected around India of all of these bogus gurus.</p>
<p>Bali-mardana: Now all the other gurus have faded away. You are...</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: There's only you left, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Bali-mardana: You're the only one left. All the bogus gurus have faded away. The Maharishi...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That Sadaji Vilal has said that "Bhaktivedanta Swami... (Hindi)"</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: "Blackened everybody else's face."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He said.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: "Blackened the face of all the other yogis."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) He said that. (Hindi)</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And coming from him it's especially relishable, because he used to criticize you for denouncing all of them.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Means he's an intelligent businessman. (laughing) He can understand. He's the disciple of Chinmayananda. But he has realized that "What Chinmayananda is before Bhaktivedanta Swami?" That he realizes.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He used to criticize Prabhupāda. He used to tell me, "Your Guru Mahārāja is always denouncing all the other gurus in public."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Now he is doing that, (laughs) following me.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Actually you're very well known for criticizing everybody else.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. Yes.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Uncompromising.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: My Guru Mahārāja was also alone. And why not? All these rascals, why shall I call him intelligent?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You give them no credit.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: How can I give them? Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ. Kṛṣṇa says, na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ: ([[Vanisource:BG 7.15|BG 7.15]]) "Anyone who has not fully surrendered to..., he is this, duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ." That's a fact. Just see. This man has got some intelligence. He's simply cheating. This is duṣkṛtina. He should have preached Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has got intelligence. He has created a position, means this is intelligent. But that intelligence he's applying for declaring himself as God. Therefore duṣkṛtina. Intelligence being used for some bad purpose. He's not God. Cheating purpose. He knows it. Everyone knows that he does not know. But he is using his intelligence for some bad purpose for making some temporary position. How rascal he is. He's not God. Suppose he is accepted as God. But he is imitation or cheating God. How long it will go on? But he's such a rascal he does not know that. Antavat tu phalaṁ teṣāṁ tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām ([[Vanisource:BG 7.23|BG 7.23]]). Therefore mūḍha. For few years, suppose he remains so-called God. What is the benefit? Next life he may become a dog. What is the benefit? Therefore mūḍha. Māyā-sukhāya, indriyārtham. Indriyārtha-māyā-sukhāya bharam udvahato vimūḍhān ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.43|SB 7.9.43]]). Hm? For sense gratification for a few years and make such gorgeous cheating process. Therefore he's rascal. He does not know the value of his eternal life, how he is going to become a dog next life. He knows, but he doesn't care. He's such a rascal. For temporary happiness, men and woman, er, woman and money.</p>
