Interviewer: You came, sir, to this country in 1965, as I said, on instructions or orders given you by your spiritual master. By the way, who was your spiritual master.
Prabhupāda: My spiritual master was Oṁ Viṣṇupāda Paramahaṁsa Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Prabhupāda.
Interviewer: Now in this line of succession that we were talking about earlier, this disciplic line of succession which goes way back, all the way back to Kṛṣṇa Himself, right, was your spiritual master the previous one before you?
Prabhupāda: Yes. The disciplic succession is coming from Kṛṣṇa since 5,000 years.
Interviewer: Is your spiritual master still alive?
Prabhupāda: No. He has passed away in 1936.
Interviewer: So you are at this particular time then the head in the world of this movement? Would that be correct?
Prabhupāda: I have got many other Godbrothers, but I was particularly ordered to do this from the very beginning. So I am trying to please my spiritual master. That's all.
Interviewer: Now you were sent to this country, to the United States of America. This is your territory. Is that correct?
Prabhupāda: Hm. No. My territory, what he said, that "You go and speak this philosophy to the English knowing public."
Interviewer: To the English speaking world.
Prabhupāda: Yes. And especially the Western world. Yes. He told me like that.
