<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- October 3, 1976, Vrndavana|Room Conversation -- October 3, 1976, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Hari-śauri: I was just wondering what exactly the League of Devotees was.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, League was that, that was... I was trying to collect some devotees. Some of them, they were medical... Yes. Medical students. So they came and used to live with me. But still, I lived there for two years. From 1954 to '56. I had some surgical operation in my testicles there. They were taking care. This Prabhākāra and... They were not full time. They were students. That's all. They were living with me.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: But your Bhāgavatams, it says they were published by the League of Devotees. Does that just mean yourself or there were others?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) That was... League of Devotees was my organization. Therefore I gave that name.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: But actually it was just you. Oh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That League of Devotees, I was alone doing. (laughs)</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: I was trying to understand who it could be.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I am everything at that time. There were some students, but they were not any active. I was doing everything. That League of Devotees means I am everything. I wanted to organize with this Prabhākāra Miśra and others. But they were not interested to be...</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Not to become Vaiṣṇavas.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, to devote whole time. They were... Just like Prabhākāra comes still. But if you ask him to do full time work, that he'll not do. Therefore I did not initiate others. He was initiated, Haridāsa. But they were all learned scholars, Sanskrit.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Do any of them come now? Do any of them come now apart from Prabhākāra?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hmm? No, they are, they have gone in the... They are practicing as medical men. They were students, medical students. Now they are practicing.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: They don't come to see you or anything now?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Sometime they came. Long time it is passed. That was in 1956 or '55. No, '54.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: In Jhansi.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So, twenty years past. More than twenty years. You can speak of twenty years history.</p>
