Pṛthu-putra: He says this concept is against the...
Yogeśvara: "Traditional western capitalism..."
Pṛthu-putra: The traditional western capitalists.
Yogeśvara: It is against capitalism, this idea?
Prabhupāda: No. It is the movement to qualify men to their respective positions. It is an educational system to divide first-class, second-class, third-class, fourth-class. They all required, but at the present moment, the fourth-class man is occupying the first-class man's place. We want to divide the society into real first-class, second-class, third-class... They're all required, but they have got their respective positions, not topsy-turvied. As the, as to keep the body fit, we require the head, the hands, the belly and the legs. If we simply keep legs, it is useless. (French)
Pṛthu-putra: He asks what language we use when we read Bhagavad-gītā and...
Prabhupāda: No. This is in Sanskrit language, but we translate into different languages.
M. Mesman: English?
Prabhupāda: English, French, German, Spanish, and other languages. (French)
Pṛthu-putra: He asks if we have to be disciple, do we have to know Sanskrit or to learn Sanskrit.
Prabhupāda: Not necessarily. Because it is published in other languages. (French)
Pṛthu-putra: He asks how many disciples there is in France?
Bhagavān: Tell him there's hundred devotees, but there's hundreds who come to the temple.
Prabhupāda: Dedicated devotee, hundred. (French)
Yogeśvara: If one is a full-time disciple...
Prabhupāda: He's dedicated disciple.
Yogeśvara: Does that mean he must give up his family, and come and live here?
Prabhupāda: No, he can live with his family. It is to take up the cause, not to give up the family. We don't believe in giving up. We believe in engaging them properly. That is our philosophy. (French)
Pṛthu-putra: He asks if the hundreds devotee are all in Paris or they are a little bit everywhere...
Yogeśvara: Explain there's travelling parties.
Bhagavān: No, we're centered in Paris, and they travel all over France. (French)
Pṛthu-putra: He asks if we have a school in France.
Prabhupāda: We have got a school in Dallas, America, but we are trying to open a school here, also. (French)
Yogeśvara: This school is for all ages or just for children?
Prabhupāda: No, all ages. Children means they learn Sanskrit and English. And they are taught our books. You show our books, all books. These are... Other books. We have got eighty books like this. So if a student reads all these eighty books, he becomes Doctor of Philosophy. Ph.D. Beginning from A,B,C,D, up to Ph.D., all, everything is there. (French)
Pṛthu-putra: He asks if you wrote all these books.
Yogeśvara: Did you write all these books?
Prabhupāda: That you can say. What can I...?
Yogeśvara: Yes, our spiritual master has translated these books. (French) He asks, "These are the ancient Sanskrit books then?"
Bhagavān: Prabhupāda has not just translated. He's given commentary, purport.
Prabhupāda: Yes, you can show the nature, translation, word-meaning. (French) Then I combine with reference to the modern society, how they can be applicable to the modern life. (French)
