Satsvarūpa: This is a poster that Haṁsadūta sent for Frankfurt for next week.
Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. This is German language.
Professor La Combe: And all is in the vicinity of Frankfurt.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu predicted. You understand little Bengali? Do you understand...
Professor La Combe: Bengali not... Sanskrit, but not...
Prabhupāda: The Bengali words,
- pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma
- sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma
- (CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126)
Pṛthivīte—this is Sanskrit—"all over the world;" āche, "there are;" yata, "as many;" nagarādi grāma, nagara, "towns...,"
Professor La Combe: Cities and villages.
Prabhupāda: Cities, yes, villages; sarvatra...,
Professor La Combe: Everywhere.
Prabhupāda: "everywhere;" pracāra, "propaganda" or "publicity," pracāra; haibe, "there will be;" mora nāma, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's name. So now it is being so. All over the world we have got branches, and they know Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Hare Kṛṣṇa. Hare Kṛṣṇa movement means Caitanya Mahāprabhu's. So that is being now propagated.

Professor La Combe: I understand.
Prabhupāda: So He predicted and by His great will it is being propagated.
Professor La Combe: How many officials (?) are there?
Prabhupāda: We have got about hundred branches, and each branch, there are not less than twenty-five up to 250. So average, if you take one hundred, then it is ten thousand, yes. And all of them are young, within thirty, within thirty. So... And they are trying to understand the philosophy very nicely, even these girls. She knows. In India, even the big, big learned scholars, they are-Indian scholar, I mean—they were surprised when some of my students, the young students, girls and boys, were speaking in Navadvīpa.
