Devotee: Well, at the end of ''Bhagavad-gītā'', Kṛṣṇa says, ''sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]).

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Devotee: He says: "Give up all this religiousness and surrender to Me." The whole purport of the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. He's telling Arjuna to fight, but ultimately, in the end, He's saying: "Just forget about all these ideas you have in your head, and surrender to Me."

Prabhupāda: Yes, Kṛṣṇa.

Devotee: Yes.

Prabhupāda: "Me" means Kṛṣṇa.

Devotee: Right.

Prabhupāda: So then Kṛṣṇa is everything.

Devotee: ''Mām ekam.''

Prabhupāda: Yes, ''mām ekam,'' "only to Me." So anyone who has studied ''Bhagavad-gītā'' rightly, he'll do that, surrender to Kṛṣṇa.

Roger Maria: (French)

Yogeśvara: He says he accepts that as being . . . he says that's an opinion, just like there are many other opinions.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Yogeśvara: He says that is an opinion, just as there are so many other opinions.

Prabhupāda: But this opinion is followed by all the ''ācāryas''.

Bhagavān: This is Kṛṣṇa's opinion.

Prabhupāda: India's culture, India's culture depends on the ''ācārya''. Just like Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Śaṅkarācārya, Nimbārka, Viṣṇu Svāmī, like that. So in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is said, ''ācāryopāsanam''. So India's culture is still, up to date, it is followed by the ''ācāryas''. Anyone you'll find in India who claims to become a Hindu, he must have followed the ''ācārya''. So all the ''ācārya'' accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
