| <p>Guest: We belong to a hundred miles from this place.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Our presentation is simplified. That is the beauty. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Oh, hundred miles? (break)</p>
| | |
| <p>Brahmānanda: ...here to Allahabad, I was coming from Bombay on the train. I was riding with some respectable people. They saw this button, and they said, "Oh, you are the disciple of Prabhupāda?" And I said, "Yes." And they were very appreciative of your work. And then I had one Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Eighth Canto, the story of Gajendra. And one man wanted to see the book. And he started reading it, and he kept the book throughout the whole journey, and he read the whole book, and he loved it. He said, "Your guru has written very nicely, very simply, very directly, and everything is there." He wouldn't give me back the book until he finished it.</p>
| | Brahmānanda: Yes. That's what he appreciated. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) So our book-selling appreciated all over the world.</p>
| | |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Yes. And this is an Indian, he's a Hindu, so he knows Vedic culture, but still he liked your books very much. He said, "I've never read something like this."</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Yes. We do not make the things cumbersome. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Our presentation is simplified. That is the beauty.</p>
| | |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Yes. That's what he appreciated.</p>
| | Rāmeśvara: So that no one understands. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes. We do not make the things cumbersome.</p>
| | |
| <p>Rāmeśvara: So that no one understands.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: (chuckles) ''Vyāghra mane śārdūla''. One student asked teacher, "What is the meaning of ''vyāghra''?" He said "''Śārdūla''." I . . . ''vyāghra ''is already a difficult word, and he presented another difficult word. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: (chuckles) Vyāghra mane śārdula. One student asked teacher, "What is the meaning of vyāghra?" He said "Śārdula." Means vyāghra is already a difficult word, and he presented another difficult word.</p>

| <p>Nanda-kumāra: They don't actually know anything, so they have to speak with so much...</p>
| | Nanda-kumāra: They don't actually know anything, so they have to speak with so much . . . |
| <p>Prabhupāda: All rascals. Therefore I call them as... My Guru Mahārāja used to say, bokaloka. Bokaloka. So I was thinking, "Why he's..." Even Rabindranath Tagore, he's a Bokaloka. So I was thinking that "Everyone is bokaloka?" Now I can understand that everyone is a bokaloka, mūḍha. So enthusiastically do everything. You are the beginner of this movement, one of the pioneers. So you should be more vigorous. You should not lag behind anyone. You voluntarily joined. You first joined in Tompkinson Square. So keep that spirit. What is the situation in Africa?</p>
| | |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Which? What?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: All rascals. Therefore I call them as. My Guru Mahārāja used to say, ''bokāloka''. ''Bokāloka''. So I was thinking, "Why he's . . ." Even Rabindranath Tagore, he's a ''bokāloka''. So I was thinking that, "Everyone is ''bokāloka''?" Now I can understand that everyone is a ''bokāloka'', ''mūḍha''. So enthusiastically do everything.

So keep that spirit. What is the situation in Africa? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: About these Asian, African, like that.</p>
| | |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Well, it's the same. I mean everything is going... The government creates more difficulties, but still, everything is going on. No one is... I mean some are leaving, but of course many are staying.</p>
| | Brahmānanda: Which? What . . .? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Is it necessary to leave?</p>
| | |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Well, the small men are leaving, but the big men, they're not leaving. Things are still going on.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: About these Asian, African, like that. |
| <p>Nanda-kumāra: Last year the government said within five years every Asian would be out of Kenya.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: This government says like that?</p>
| | Brahmānanda: Well, it's the same. I mean everything is going . . . the government creates more difficulties, but still, everything is going on. No one is . . . I mean some are leaving, but of course many are staying. |
| <p>Brahmānanda: I don't know if the government has said it, but people talk like that just to create some atmosphere of uncertainty. These unstable governments, they like to create this kind of atmosphere.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: There are many Indians. Practically Indian.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Is it necessary to leave? |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Yes, everything. Tamāla, when he came there, he said that Mombassa was like Bombay...</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
| | Brahmānanda: Well, the small men are leaving, but the big men, they're not leaving. Things are still going on. |
| <p>Brahmānanda: ...and Nairobi was like Delhi.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes. And they are living nicely. Why this government disturbing them?</p>
| | Nanda-kumāra: Last year the government said within five years every Asian would be out of Kenya. |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Well, that is their policy.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: They cannot manage nicely. The Africans are not so qualified. The Indians, they are managing business, everything.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: This government says like that? |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Now Amin in Uganda, he's now inviting so many Indians to come as teachers, doctors. He's getting them from India now.</p>
| | |
| <p>Hari-śauri: He just kicked them all out.</p>
| | Brahmānanda: I don't know if the government has said it, but people talk like that just to create some atmosphere of uncertainty. These unstable governments, they like to create this kind of atmosphere. |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Now he's getting them back again.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Such a rascal. They are thrown away from the established condition; so now he wants them back. In one sense it is right, that these rascals may not imitate him.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: There are many Indians. Practically India. (chuckles) |
| <p>Brahmānanda: Yes. That's one thing. Like Kenya, they are more sensible. They see what happened in Uganda. Uganda's economy is very bad.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Finished.</p>
| | Brahmānanda: Yes, everything. Tamāla, when he came there, he said that Mombassa was like Bombay . . . |
| <p>Brahmānanda: So they will not do the same thing.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: They must be intelligent persons. Otherwise how he can... The Britishers, they took away these Indians to organize Africa. Otherwise, they conquered, but the Indians organized.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Yes. |
| | |
| | Brahmānanda: . . . and Nairobi was like Delhi. |
| | |
| | Prabhupāda: Yes. |
