- Whatever you speak, the GBCs & older devotees, they're taking back to so many different countries & translating into so many languages - Spanish, French, German, Italian. The devotees all over the world are just waiting to hear every word that you speak
- When a child cries, what does he long for? His mother. But he has no language to express this. By nature he has his body, born of his mother's body, so there is an intimate relationship with the mother's body. The child won't like any other woman

Y
- Yes if you (Kirtiraja Prabhu) can arrange for the translation of my books in Polish language that will please me very much
- Yes, you may write some of the stories in simplified version for the children. That is very nice. The story of characters cannot be changed or anything made up, but simply the language may be changed
- You are knowing so many languages and you can be of great service in this respect, so why don't you join our Bombay centre and help to propagate Krishna Consciousness in Hindi and other languages
- You are proficient in the Russian language. If that is the case, then your service may be very much required, and so if I go to Russia at all in the near future, then I shall call for you and you shall accompany me to Moscow
- You can show them the full set of books that we are going to print in the German language, and use all of the professors quotes to show how authoritative our books are amongst the scholarly circle throughout the world
- You can sing prayers in Sanskrit, but prayers in English can be also pronounced because the Lord accepts the motive not the pronunciation of the language
- You cannot understand Krsna simply because you are a learned Sanskrit scholar. You are a rascal. Krsna is not so easy to be understood by scholarship or Sanskrit language. Don't commit this mistake. Krsna is understood by a person to whom Krsna reveals

- You read them (Teachings of Lord Chaitanya) very carefully, word to word, and immediately begin translation into French language so they may be published in French BTG as well as in future they may be published in a book
- Your desires and your propensities will be according to your society. Just like in English language it is said: "A man is known by his company." So we have to change our company
- Your representation that Sanskrit is the origin of Indo-European languages, is quite right, but our main concern is how we can impress people about the importance of Krishna Consciousness
