Later on it became political, because as soon as the spiritual power, culture, became diminished, the whole thing became material. So people wanted material advantage, so separated from Vedic culture. Just like Buddhism. Buddhism was a Hindu culture. But Lord Buddha wanted to stop animal sacrifice. In the Vedas, animal sacrifice is recommended under certain condition. Even denied that, "No, that also cannot be done." So therefore they are separate from Vedic culture. After all these, all these religious systems—Muhammadanism, Jewism, then Christianism, Buddhism—their history's not more than 2,000 years.

Amogha: After King Parīkṣit, then it divided up, that soon after?

Prabhupāda: Divided? They are also already divided. But the culture diminished. Because the center of culture was India, Delhi. So as the power diminished, the maintenance of the culture diminished, and by contact with other types of aboriginal, they learned eating meat and gradually degraded. And they discovered different types of religion because . . . just like at the present moment the Christians are protesting why there should not be abortion.

So they wanted to degraded. So the Indian culture did not allow, so the separate type of religion came out. This is the . . . (indistinct) . . . they wanted, "Why there should not be meat-eating?" But Indian culture would not allow, so they become Muhammadans, they become Christians, like this. Even in India all the . . . what are these Muhammadans? The Muhammadans, they are lower-class man, less than śūdra. But Hindus, higher class, they would not touch it. But when the Muhammadans came that, "We will be on equal right," they, they become Muhammadans.

Amogha: So there's no spiritual motive.

Prabhupāda: Later on it became political, because as soon as the spiritual power, culture, became diminished, the whole thing became material. So people wanted material advantage, so separated from Vedic culture. Just like Buddhism. Buddhism was a Hindu culture. But Lord Buddha wanted to stop animal sacrifice. In the Vedas, animal sacrifice is recommended under certain condition. Even denied that, "No, that also cannot be done." So therefore they are separate from Vedic culture. After all these, all these religious systems—Muhammadanism, Jewism, then Christianism, Buddhism—their history's not more than 2,000 years. And before 2,000 years, what was the culture?

Amogha: The Christians here get money from America. In Bali, where those many Hindus live, they convert many people by saying: "If you become a Christian, you'll have good economy with us."

Prabhupāda: And that is the Christian propaganda.

Devotee: Same in Madras.

Prabhupāda: In India, everywhere. They cannot attract people by their philosophy. It is show money, "Yes, come on, take money."
