Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Sometimes I wonder that—of course we want our books to be translated by our own men—but in the absence of sufficient translators...
Prabhupāda: (indistinct) ...that thing you see that er, our men means they know the philosophy. Otherwise they do not know, that is the difficulty.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Supposing we have—I'm just using this hypothetical...
Prabhupāda: Any, "our man" who knows Russian language, he should check.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Professionals may translate, but one of our men may check?
Prabhupāda: Yes, just like our books are being done in Germany now.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. Yeah, then you can have quite a few books translated. Because if we only depend on our men for the entire translating work, it will never get done.
Prabhupāda: No, no, then get professional man, but he may not create the havoc.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, he must be checked by someone who knows. Whew, this is exciting. I'd love to see your Bhagavad-gītā, the most widely read blackmarket book in Russia.
Prabhupāda: Then that will create revolution.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whew. These books are very revolutionary. You are very strong. You have put everything in a very clear-cut, strong words. You have attacked everyone who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious, as fools and rascals.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) This is fact, it is not exaggeration.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In your article in Back to Godhead about Marx, you call him a nonsense, you call Marxism nonsense.
Prabhupāda: Yes, what is his philosophy? (sic:) Dialectitude?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Dialectic Materialism.
Prabhupāda: So, we have written one Dialectic Spiritualism.
Hari-śauri: Harikeśa's.
Prabhupāda: Harikeśa.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, he read it to us. He's preaching, I think in Eastern Europe sometimes. We got a report. Has he written you?
Prabhupāda: Yes. I heard that, but is he being alright or not?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: From the report it appears that he goes occasionally into some eastern European countries. Mostly he's concentrating in England, Germany and Scandinavias. He has a party and they are doing speaking engagements and distributing books. And sometimes he went in which countries?
Devotee: Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Budapest.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He is going to some communist European countries.
Devotee: They make their vans with false bottoms and they hide the books underneath so at the border they do not see. Underneath the van is all your books. When they get in the country then they distribute the books to these centers.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Revolution.
Prabhupāda: It is very nice.
Devotee: Sometimes he said when he's speaking, the translator will not say what he is saying because it's...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Sometimes he forgets-usually he speaks very carefully-guarded words. But once or twice he says, he starts speaking direct Krishna consciousness and the translator looks at him and won't translate it into the local language. Sometimes he forgets himself and starts speaking about Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the translator suddenly looks at him. Usually he covers everything.
Prabhupāda: He has done a good job.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He is a fit person, very intelligent.
Prabhupāda: So in this way... You are all intelligent, you can plan. The aim is how to distribute books. That is first consideration. (break) In Bhāgavata it is very figuratively described that we have got this body and the different parts. Just like Arjuna is sitting on the chariot. There is chariot driver, there are horses, reins. There is field, and the arrow, and the bow. They have been figuratively. So this can be used for killing the enemies of our Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and then give up all this paraphernalia, chariot, we... Just like after fighting, only victory, then you kill them. And similarly this body is there, the mind is there, the senses are there. So utilize it for conquering over this material existence. And then give up this body and go back to home.
