<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Press Interview -- December 31, 1976, Bombay|Press Interview -- December 31, 1976, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the mercy incarnation for all people. How we can question upon this idea?</p>
<p>Indian man: So you are elaborating on this thing.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Ignorance. Stated in Bhagavad-gītā, mūḍhaḥ nābhijānāti. You take Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Mām ebhyaḥ param avyayam. Tribhir guṇamayair bhāvaiḥ. Oh, that is given to that doctor. (Hindi) But that knowledge is being neglected by Indians, and the whole world is in ignorance. The knowledge has to be given by India because knowledge is in India. But the Indians, they have become rascals. They are imitating the rascals. This is reply. India should have given knowledge to the whole world. Instead of, these rascals are imitating their ways of life, and knowledge remains in the darkness throughout the whole world.</p>
<p>Indian man: What do you find, you know, that when you impart this knowledge to Western disciples and when you talk to someone who are in India, what difference do you find?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Indian men refuse this culture. India's leader, beginning from Gandhi and all, they do not know what is India's culture. They have forgotten.</p>
<p>Indian man: Would you like to include Gandhi also in that?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh yes. Otherwise, how it can be? Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]).</p>
<p>Indian man: But he was the one who also preached Gītā.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But he did not know Gītā. Actually. Recently I have been in his āśrama. They are maintaining the chattai (?) and the lantern in memory. What is that? If Mahatma Gandhi understood Gītā, he should have introduced that āśrama in Gītā. Where is that? The chattai (?) food arrangement is there.</p>
<p>Indian man: So that is done by his disciples and not by him. He never...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That means he could not make his disciple correctly.</p>
<p>Indian man: That is true. That is true.</p>
