So if, those who are Indians, especially present in this meeting, that if you want to glorify your country, then you present this Vedic literature. You cannot excel the Western countries by so-called technological knowledge. That is not possible. They are far advanced, hundred years advanced. Whatever machine you may discover, that machine was discovered one hundred years ago in Western countries. So you cannot. Anything. So if you want, Indians, to glorify your country, then present this Vedic culture heart and soul, and . . . just like I am trying to do it.

So how people are accepting it? There is substance. Before me, so many ''svāmīs'' came in this country; they could not present the real thing. They wanted some money and went away. That's all. Our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not that. We want to give something to the Western countries. That is our purpose. Not we have come to beg, we have to give him something. That is my mission. They come here to beg, "Give me rice," "Give me ''ḍāl''," "Give me wheat," "Give me money," but I have come here to give something of Indian culture. That is the difference.

So you European, American students, you take full advantage of this Vedic culture. I am therefore so much laboring hard that we . . . before my leaving this body, I may give you some books who you can enjoy after my death. So utilize it. Utilize it. Read every ''śloka'' nicely, try to understand the meaning, discuss amongst yourself. ''Nityaṁ bhagavata-sevayā''. That is our mission. ''Naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhagavata-sevayā'' ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.18|SB 1.2.18]]). ''Abhadra''. We have got so many dirty things within our heart. So these dirty things can be cleansed simply by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. There is no other method.
