Prabhupāda: If somebody says that, "I am incarnation of God," then why you cannot say that you are incarnation of God? What is the difference?
Young man (6): Well, I think the difference is that Ramakrishna was accepted in India as . . .
Prabhupāda: No, not in India. Don't say like that.
Young man (6): He wasn't?
Prabhupāda: No. Rāma was accepted as incarnation. Kṛṣṇa was accepted as incarnation. In every home, there is Rāma and Kṛṣṇa worship. Not this Ramakrishna. Neither any ācārya accepts him. If Ramakrishna . . . he said himself that, "One who was Kṛṣṇa, one who was Rāma, I am the same." So his disciple accepted. Vivekananda accepted. But in that way, if somebody dies, he says: "One who was Kṛṣṇa, one was Rāma, I am," his sons accept. That is not the way of. There must be proof.
Kṛṣṇa is accepted by Vyāsadeva, by Nārada, by Caitanya, by Rāmānuja, by so many great scholars, stalwarts. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is accepted by all Indians as God. And He has proved Himself, His activities. There is Vedic proof, scholarly proof, authority proof. There are so many things. And people . . . there are thousands and millions of temple of Kṛṣṇa worship in India, and how many temples they have got Ramakrishna?
Young man (6): Well, Ramakrishna is pretty recent also.
