<div class="heading">So you are scientist, devotee, and kṣatriya. As kṣatriya you'll force: (laughing) "You must believe this, or I will kill you." (laughter) And as scientist, the convincing argument... And as devotee, Kṛṣṇa will help you. That's all Yuddhyasva mām anusmara (BG 8.7). That is Kṛṣṇa's word, "Fight! And remember Me." That's all. Combination kṣatriya, devotee, and scientist. Very good combination.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation with Svarupa Damodara -- January 30, 1977, Bhuvanesvara|Room Conversation with Svarupa Damodara -- January 30, 1977, Bhuvanesvara]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Svarūpa Dāmodara: Satsvarūpa Mahārāja and everybody can contribute articles, some sort of academic article, so we can reach the intellectual class with their format. But I talked about this with several Indians, the Indian scholars. They are... They think that it will be very powerful, especially in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. If we add that, then said it's going to be very much more powerful.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. When we bring, present scientific basis, it must be powerful. All right, let us...</p>
<p>Gargamuni: I think in America that we cannot say that the general public is against us, because the book sales are increasing. It is only when the book sales decrease...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No... So how many pages these are?</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: We plan to print up to at least hundred pages each volume. But this is already about two hundred pages. So we are going to reduce it little bit so that we can print it in next volume.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Life From Life, we are already advertising in our BBT list.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Yes. It's already listed there.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: We plan to have our book about five hundred pages. And we should finish it by fall. We feel it's major work. The difficult part is that establish from science, comparative study... And we have finished that. Next stage is... It's not very difficult. It's about, they call, fossil, these bones... We're going to say something about it, but that's not much. Then conclusion...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So you are scientist, devotee, and kṣatriya. As kṣatriya you'll force: (laughing) "You must believe this, or I will kill you." (laughter) And as scientist, the convincing argument... And as devotee, Kṛṣṇa will help you. That's all Yuddhyasva mām anusmara ([[Vanisource:BG 8.7|BG 8.7]]). That is Kṛṣṇa's word, "Fight! And remember Me." That's all. Combination kṣatriya, devotee, and scientist. Very good combination. Kṣatriya does not know beyond two things—victory or death. No third thing. That is kṣatriya. In a fighting, if I do not gain victory, then I must die. Two things. That is kṣatriya spirit. Whenever there is fight between the two kṣatriya, one must die. That is last word. No compromise. Jarāsandha and Bhīma, fighting for twenty-eight days, in the evening they were friends, but the fighting went on until one is dead. That is kṣatriya's fighting. Where is that spirit now? I think in Europe also there was the knights.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: Chivalry.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Yes. Well known for chivalrous behavior. Very gallant.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. One of them must die. That is kṣatriya spirit. No compromise. And it will go on until one is dead. That is chivalry. Chivalry?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Chivalry, yes.</p>
<p>Nanda-kumāra: Some of our devotees have got that spirit, some of our men. Keśava has sometimes taken ten men at a time. Once in San Francisco at Ratha-yātrā some men were attacking the Deity, throwing rocks.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ācchā? When?</p>
<p>Nanda-kumāra: Keśava was picking... In San Francisco about four years back.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh.</p>
<p>Nanda-kumāra: Black men.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh.</p>
<p>Nanda-kumāra: Keśava was picking them up over his head and throwing them across cars. Ten men. He took all of them, only himself. Finished all of them. He didn't kill them, but he stopped them. He said he felt Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva helping him. But he was fearless.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He is robust also, like kṣatriya, Keśava, Karandhara's brother. All right, you may go. So that...?</p>
<p>Gargamuni: In this letter they have asked for six persons, five including yourself. I think if we send a few more by vehicle, by car, vehicles, then we can bring maybe ten or twenty more, and we can have big programs. Five men are not enough.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So do that. He'll do.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: So I can give the names.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: Okay. Give me the names and passport numbers so that we can get the inner pass.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So immediately do it.</p>
