| <p>Prabhupāda: We have got secretaries. They are managing.</p>
| | <span class="link">[[Vanisource:Interview with Newsweek -- July 14, 1976, New York|Interview with Newsweek -- July 14, 1976, New York]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;"> |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: He has appointed from all the disciples a group of secretaries. Each one is in charge of a different sector of the world.</p>
| | Interviewer: I was wondering if he had a successor to do . . . do you have a successor to take your place when you die? |
| <p>Interviewer: How many secretaries?</p>
| | |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: Presently there is eighteen.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Not yet settled up. |
| <p>Interviewer: And so that group of eighteen secretaries will choose another leader?</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: I am training each one of them as leader so that they can spread extensively. That is my idea.</p>
| | Interviewer: Pardon me? |
| <p>Interviewer: So, in other words, you started this whole movement here in the United States ten years ago. Would you say that the United States had the most active, financially, group of followers.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: What is that?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Not yet settled up. |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: She wants to know, seeing you chose the United States to begin this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement ten years ago, now do you find that in the United States there is the most active membership financially speaking. In terms of contributing to this movement, supporting the movement, is the best field America?</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: No, without finance we can go on.</p>
| | Interviewer: No. So what process would the Hare Kṛṣṇas . . .? |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: Without finance we can go on.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: We have got secretaries. They are managing. |
| <p>Interviewer: Oh, we can go on?</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
| | Rāmeśvara: He has appointed from all the disciples a group of secretaries. Each one is in charge of a different sector of the world. |
| <p>Interviewer: How?</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not have any financial help, but His movement is going on. It does not depend on a..., on financial. It is independent. Spiritual movement is independent of any material help. That is spiritual movement.</p>
| | Interviewer: How many secretaries? |
| <p>Interviewer: But how would you be able to carry out your educational or book publishing program if you did not have a financial backing?</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: How I am managing now?</p>
| | Rāmeśvara: Presently there is eighteen. |
| <p>Interviewer: But now you are doing well financially.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: You are stressing on financial help but my reply is that this movement does not depend on financial help. That is the reply.</p>
| | Interviewer: And so that group of eighteen secretaries will choose another leader? |
| <p>Bali-mardana: In the beginning...</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Any time, it does not depend on financial help.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: I am training each one of them as leader so that they can spread extensively. That is my idea. |
| <p>Interviewer: Why would you say you were doing so well?</p>
| | |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: We don't tithe our members. In other words, our congregations do not pay dues. We are depending on Kṛṣṇa. We're simply trying to print books, and we show them to people, and then Kṛṣṇa inspires them to purchase or give a contribution. It's not that we have people making large contributions or a congregation that pays dues.</p>
| | Interviewer: So, in other words, you started this whole movement here in the United States ten years ago. Would you say that the United States had the most active, financially, group of followers? |
| <p>Interviewer: So where does most of your money come from?</p>
| | |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: She wants to know where most of our money comes from.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: What is that? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Money comes from Kṛṣṇa.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: From where?</p>
| | Rāmeśvara: She wants to know, seeing that you chose the United States to begin this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement ten years ago, now do you find that in the United States there is the most active membership, financially speaking. In terms of contributing to this movement, supporting the movement, is the best field America? |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: Kṛṣṇa.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: Ah, Rāmeśvara, maybe if Prabhupāda just told how, in the first year how the books were sold, before there was this publishing. There was a time in which there was just a storefront. How were these books sold in the very beginning?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: But without finance we can go on. |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: Prabhupāda personally went to the printer in Japan. He personally made the arrangement with the printer, the first printing.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: But how did he sell his first book in America?</p>
| | Rāmeśvara: Without finance we can go on. |
| <p>Hari-śauri: On the boat to the ship's captain.</p>
| | |
| <p>Interviewer: There was a process...</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Yes. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: I mean to say, "What is our financial arrangement?" Why these questions are being raised? This is not interview about the movement. They are very much interested about our financial help.</p>
| | |
| | Interviewer: Oh, we can go on? |
| | |
| | Prabhupāda: Yes. |
| | |
| | Interviewer: How? |
| | |
| | Prabhupāda: Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not have any financial help, but His movement is going on. It does not depend on a . . . on financial. It is independent. Spiritual movement is independent of any material help. That is spiritual movement. |
