I was questioned in Berkeley University by some Indian student: "Swāmījī, what this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will benefit? What this saṅkīrtana? We want technology." So I replied: "Yes, you have come to learn here technology, but I have come here to teach you. Not to learn, but to teach. And they are learning." So according to Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission, every Indian can become a teacher, provided he accepts the teachings of their predecessors ācārya. Otherwise they'll remain beggars. That is my proposal.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the best. Anyone, individually or collectively, you take it, you'll enjoy real life. Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). That is real life. And actually, people are accepting, all over the world. Say four days ago, I was in Manila. That was the, my first visit, and all young men . . . in the hotel we held one meeting. The hotel capacity was about eight hundred men. Still, it was overflooded. And they liked this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, chanting, dancing. So nice.

So it has been proven that this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will be accepted in any part of the world. This is India's culture. Why not distribute? Why the government is not interested? That is my presentation. If you . . . India wants to be glorified, then she must give something. Not simply begging: "Give me grains, give me money, give me weapons, give me engineer." Give something. That is my proposal. Then India will be glorified: "Oh, India has got something to give, not to take only, like beggars."
