Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Very strong.
Prabhupāda: This is the fact. Therefore Bhāgavata says, śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ. They are very much proud: "I have got ninety-nine percent votes, and I have become President." But what you are? You are another big pig only. Who has voted you? The voters are pigs and asses and camel and dogs. So if these animal vote for somebody, then what he is? Is there . . . Are . . . Their votes are calculable at all? Votes by the dogs, pigs, camels, and . . . śva-viḍ-varāha. Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-khara, and asses. So what is the value of these votes? And that is going on, democracy.

Prabhupāda: There is no human being. A big . . . I gave that a big animal, lion, is fearful to the small animal. But because he is lion, very strong, does it mean that he's a human being? That is going on. Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ (SB 2.3.19). If one is not Kṛṣṇa conscious, he's nothing but animal. So if other small animals praise him, "Oh, you are . . ." This Gandhi or Indira Gandhi or . . . and the Hitler and . . . What is the value? He's a big animal, that's all.
Harikeśa: You were saying in Vṛndāvana they tweak each other's ear.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Harikeśa: Churchill was tweaking the ear of Hitler, and Hitler was tweaking . . . Like in school the two children?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes.
Jayapatākā: Yesterday you mentioned to the Secretary that the members of legislature should all be Vaiṣṇavas. They should all be brahminically qual . . .
