681230 - Interview - Los Angeles

Prabhupāda: I have got about a little more than one hundred disciples who are strictly following my regulative principles.

Journalist: One hundred.

Prabhupāda: Yes. In different branches. I have got about thirteen branches. Some of the disciples are working in London.

Journalist: In London.

Prabhupāda: Yes. They are doing very nice. They are all married couples. I got them married. Yes. I got them married. They're young boys, all within thirty. My oldest disciple, he is twenty-eight. Otherwise, twenty-five, twenty-four. Utmost thirty.

And similarly, girls; you have seen this girl. You see. So I get them, make them happy in married life. Their mentality is . . . they are not after so-called puffed-up life. They can live very simply, with the least demand of bodily necessities, but thinking very high of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So I am very hopeful that even I die . . . because I am old man, seventy-three years old. I may die at any moment. But I am now assured my movement will go on. These boys will carry it. That, my mission, is in that way successful.
