<div class="heading">Seriously means that a spiritual movement is India's movement. So if some of our leading men take seriously, then whatever I am doing single-handed... I don't get any support either from the Indian public or from the government. But if they take it seriously, then we can present in more organized way and it will be more successful. So far it is done single-handed.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Press Interview -- October 16, 1976, Chandigarh|Press Interview -- October 16, 1976, Chandigarh]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Interviewer: What is the procedure of the movement? Do you initiate yourself all the disciples or do your other disciples also do that?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, initiation or no initiation, first thing is knowledge. (break) ...knowledge. Initiation is formality. Just like you go to a school for knowledge, and admission is formality. That is not very important thing. (sound coming on and off, tape recorder faulty.) So our this movement is successful... On account of this movement... (break) ...learned scholars and those who are inquisitive, advanced... (break)... He Maharishi Mahesh Yogi says that this is material. If you perform this meditation, transcendental meditation, you will be materially benefited. That is not spiritual meditation.</p>
<p>Interviewer: You have said that India should take this movement seriously.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Interviewer: How do you want India to take this movement?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Seriously means that a spiritual movement is India's movement. So if some of our leading men take seriously, then whatever I am doing single-handed... I don't get any support either from the Indian public or from the government. But if they take it seriously, then we can present in more organized way and it will be more successful. So far it is done single-handed.</p>
<p>Interviewer: Do you think there is a necessity to open a ministry of religion?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I think so. Because there is a cultural department in the central government but they do not know what is culture. Just see.</p>
<p>Interviewer: What is the difference between God consciousness and Kṛṣṇa consciousness?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no difference. The same thing. Kṛṣṇa is God.</p>
