Prof. Kotovsky: And how many disciples you have in India itself? From three thousand, how many members of your community you have in India itself?
Prabhupāda: In India?
Prof. Kotovsky: Yes.
Prabhupāda: And India, there are many Kṛṣṇa conscious persons, hundred thousands, millions. India, there is no question. There is not a single Hindu who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious.
Prof. Kotovsky: Yes, I understand, but this, especially, specifically...
Prabhupāda: Vaiṣṇava. This is called Vaiṣṇava cult. The Vaiṣṇavas, as far as you know—you have been in India—there are many millions of Vaiṣṇavas.
Prof. Kotovsky: Oh, yes.
Prabhupāda: Many millions of Vaiṣṇavas and... Just like this gentleman. He is a commander of the Air, India Air Lines. So he's not my disciple, but he's a Vaiṣṇava, Kṛṣṇa conscious. Similarly, in India millions and trillions there are, Kṛṣṇa conscious persons. And practically there is not a single... Even there are Mohammedan Kṛṣṇa conscious. In Allahabad University there is a Mohammedan professor. He's a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa. So this is natural. It is said in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is everywhere, in everyone's heart. It has to be awakened only by this process. That's all. It is there in your heart also. It is not that it is foreign to you. It is not that. Everyone's heart, there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By this process we have to awaken that. Śravaṇādi śuddha citte karaye udaya. Udaya. You know this word udaya. Just like sun rises. It is not that sun all of a sudden comes from somewhere. It is there, but it rises in the morning. Similarly, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness is everywhere, but some way or other, it is now covered. By this process it is awakened and aroused, by association.
Prof. Kotovsky: You came yesterday to Moscow.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Prof. Kotovsky: Have you seen something here in Moscow?
Prabhupāda: No.
Prof. Kotovsky: No? Not much?
Prabhupāda: I am not very much interested for sightseeing.
Prof. Kotovsky: But in any case, if you have come, you ought to go somewhere and to see something.
Prabhupāda: I'm not...
Prof. Kotovsky: 'Cause to stay in a hotel, old style hotel like National, is not interesting. Not many people to see. And you are leaving day after tomorrow?
Prabhupāda: That is my program. Day after tomorrow...
Prof. Kotovsky: From here you are going to...?
Prabhupāda: Day after tomorrow or...?
Śyāmasundara: Wednesday.
Devotee:: Today is 22nd. We leave 25th, morning.
Śyāmasundara: 25th.
Devotee: Morning.
Prof. Kotovsky: And you are leaving for United States or for Europe?
Prabhupāda: Yes, for Europe.
Prof. Kotovsky: For Europe. Ah, for Paris.
Prabhupāda: Paris. And we have got two ceremonies, very big ceremonies, in London and San Francisco, Ratha-yatra, car festival. And, it is estimated, fifty thousand people are going to participate in the ceremony both in London and San Francisco. We are making arrangement, car festival.
