Interviewer: How did you become a disciple yourself? What were you, or what did you follow before you became a disciple?

Prabhupāda: Same principle as I told you, faith. One of my friend, he dragged me forcibly to my spiritual master. And when I talked with my spiritual master, I was induced. And since then, the seedling began.

Interviewer: Would you discuss your dancing with me, please, and explain something of it. I first saw it Tuesday evening, and I would like to know more about it.

Prabhupāda: We don't . . . this dancing as an art. It is automatic. We dance, we cry, we chant, we laugh not by artificially learning it. But Kṛṣṇa consciousness is so nice, as you begin to chant, naturally you feel for dancing. So it is not taught artificially. It comes simultaneously with development of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Interviewer: What are the . . . what is the hand attire which you are wearing? What is the meaning of this?

Prabhupāda: I am chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa whenever there is opportunity, and there are beads. So I am chanting on beads. There are 108 beads, and each bead we chant sixteen names, ''Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare''. So my disciples, they chant at least sixteen rounds. Actually . . . (break) 

Interviewer: I wanted to find out more about attending the services, that is, are there any books written about Kṛṣṇa consciousness here available in Seattle or any other organizations besides the temple?

Prabhupāda: We have many books already published. One, first, is ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ''As It Is''. This is published by Macmillan and Company. You can have any number of these books from our temple. And the next book is ''Teachings of Lord Caitanya''. That is also available from our temple. And the next book, in three parts, ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''. 

So if somebody . . . these are the, I mean to say, covering of the books. So if somebody carefully reads these books, Kṛṣṇa consciousness science will be understood very easily by him. Besides these books, we have got our monthly magazine, ''Back to Godhead''. So if the students . . . it is not very costly. The monthly magazine is only 35 cent per copy, and the subscription four dollars yearly. And this ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ''As It Is'', it is only $2.95. Of course, this ''Teachings of Lord Caitanya'', it is hardbound; it is $5.95. So they will be greatly profited.</p>
