What is the wrong there? Rather, I should be encouraged that I am bringing so much money in India, foreign exchange, by my hard labor. So why they are envious? Why...

| <p>Prabhupāda: Governor, Mr. Chandra Reddy. "Why, wherefrom they are getting money, where, why?" That is my very, very hard labor, that's all. Is it wrong if a man works hard and gets money in foreign country and bring in India?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Part of the money is contribution for construction of my house. Ten thousand. Ten thousand dollars? |
| <p>Gargamuni: I think they cannot believe that a sādhu could have so much money from selling books.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: That may be beyond their dream, but I am not so-called sādhu. I am trying to execute the orders of my Guru Mahārāja, predecessor. I am not a so-called sādhu, taking a saffron robe, begging for fulfilling the belly.</p>
| | Jayapatākā: Ten thousand dollars, I think. Jayatīrtha mentioned. |
| <p>Gargamuni: They have to accept you as an international leader.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: I must be international leader. Yes, they are surprised how... This is unique in the history, that a single person's books are sold in so many large quantities. I don't think any author has sold so many books. Huh?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: I am writing one letter to the government that I work hard, I print my books and they are selling, and if I bring the money to construct temple, why people are envious? What is the wrong there? Rather, I should be encouraged that I am bringing so much money in India, foreign exchange, by my hard labor. So why they are envious? Why . . . I have sent this to the governor. |
| <p>Gargamuni: In some of the American magazines they publish a best-seller list of books, and the number of books we sell goes beyond the best-seller list.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: And especially philosophical and religious books. These people do not touch. (laughs) Untouchable. Has even Vivekananda has presented so many books? A small book, "Thus spake..." And what he will write? What does he know? Simply bluffers. Chaliots.(?) Our Bon Mahārāja is also one of the chaliots. What is the English for chaliot?</p>
| | Jayapatākā: To the governor? |
| <p>Jayapatākā: Bluffers?</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: It means he has no assets but he shows that he is very big. That is called chaliot.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Governor, Mr. Chandra Reddy. "Why? Wherefrom they are getting money? Where? why?" That is my money by hard labor, that's all. Is it wrong if a man works hard and gets money in foreign country and bring in India? |
| <p>Jayapatākā: Bluffer.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Bluffer?</p>
| | Gargamuni: I think they cannot believe that a ''sādhu'' could have so much money from selling books. |
| | |
| | Prabhupāda: That may be beyond their dream, but I am not so-called ''sādhu''. I am trying to execute the orders of my Guru Mahārāja, predecessor. I am not a so-called ''sādhu'', taking a saffron robe, begging for fulfilling the belly. |
