<div class="heading">Oh, he has said like that? Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā manuṣīṁ tanum āśritam (BG 9.11). So why they do not deify others? Only Kṛṣṇa. There were many big, big men. All the Pāṇḍavas were very big men. Kṛṣṇa was contemporate to the Pāṇḍavas. Why Kṛṣṇa was picked up, and not the Pāṇḍavas? What is the reason?

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- May 24, 1974, Rome|Morning Walk -- May 24, 1974, Rome]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Anthropomorphic. That means man worship.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: They deify a man. He's a man but the people make him as a god.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: They say that about Kṛṣṇa, that Kṛṣṇa was a man, and then later His followers deified Him. That man wrote that in that pamphlet, Dr. Bannerjee, in Delhi.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, he has said like that? Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā manuṣīṁ tanum āśritam ([[Vanisource:BG 9.11 (1972)|BG 9.11]]). So why they do not deify others? Only Kṛṣṇa. There were many big, big men. All the Pāṇḍavas were very big men. Kṛṣṇa was contemporate to the Pāṇḍavas. Why Kṛṣṇa was picked up, and not the Pāṇḍavas? What is the reason?</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: The Pāṇḍavas were the devotees of Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. This Anthropomorphism cannot be applied.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Their activities were not so great.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, nobody's activities can be greater than God's activities.</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: There was that lady who came to see you yesterday who asked that "Lord Jesus performed so many miracles. So what miracles did Kṛṣṇa perform?" So your reply was so many miracles, killing Putana and so on. But that was five thousand years ago. Kṛṣṇa's not here today. And people will ask, "Well we cannot see these miracles. So how can we accept Kṛṣṇa?"</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Well they can't see Jesus's miracles either.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) They can see the miracles of Jesus Christ?</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: They will accept anyone.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All such questions. No sober questions.</p>
<p>Atreya Ṛṣi: Kṛṣṇa's miracles are in the hearts of devotees today.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Kṛṣṇa's miracle is Bhagavad-gītā.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, everyone can see. Who has given such information? All practical.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: There are so many scriptures all over the world, but just in the second chapter of Bhagavad-gītā Kṛṣṇa gives more knowledge than all of the other scriptures.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. It is the greatest miracle.</p>
