Prabhupāda: There is one gentleman, Sadajivatra in Bombay. You know him?
Akṣayānanda: Sadaji Mahatma?
Prabhupāda: Sadajivatra.
Akṣayānanda: Oh yes.
Prabhupāda: (indistinct) proprietor.
Akṣayānanda: I know of him.
Prabhupāda: He is very intelligent. He has said to a friend, that Bhaktivedanta Swami (Hindi) Kāla means, that he has made all other so-called sannyāsīs, yogis, black-faced.
Akṣayānanda: (laughs) Jaya. He is intelligent.
Prabhupāda: Bhaktivedanta Swami sata mukala.(?)
Akṣayānanda: It's true. It's true.
Prabhupāda: Now here is a big sannyāsī, Akhandanandan, or Bon Maharaja. They are supposed to be big, big sannyāsī.
Akṣayānanda: I do not know what Akhandanandan does.
Prabhupāda: Anyway, (indistinct) And this Anandamaya. Actually I am not proud, but what they have done in comparison to me?
Akṣayānanda: Yes, they've done nothing.
Prabhupāda: He has said sata mukala.
Akṣayānanda: Mukala.
Prabhupāda: Kāla. Kāla means lajjita. Black face. Everyone should be ashamed. They may be envious on account of their failure, but if you come to the actual valuation, sata mukala. That's a fact.
Hari-śauri: Actually, that Bon Maharaja is very black anyway.
Prabhupāda: He's so black, there is no more black required. (laughter) A black snake. (Bengali) In Bengal it is said if a brāhmaṇa is black he is dangerous.
Akṣayānanda: If a brāhmaṇa is black?
Prabhupāda: That means he's not pure brāhmaṇa. Brāhmaṇa cannot be black. Just like a European, if he becomes black, that means he has mixture. European and American, if he's black, that means mixture. So brāhmaṇa family, how it has... Still, family, it must be very fair. Śukla. Brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya family must be very beautiful. If he's pure. Kāla brāhmaṇa prakāśa śūdra (Bengali) beki poṣya-putro pasaraila.(?) It is a slang language. Kāla brāhmaṇa. Brāhmaṇa should not be black and śūdra should not be white. And a Musselman should not be dwarf. Because formerly real Musselmen were coming from Kabul, Afghanistan. That is called (indistinct). If a Muslim is dwarf that means he is not real. (Bengali) Prostitute's son, and poṣya-putra, adopted son. They are all of the same class. How this selection? Black brāhmaṇa, white śūdra, dwarf Musselman, and prostitute's son, and adopted son. Adopted son, he gets money without any earning and spends like... I have seen so many adopted sons.SB Canto 4
