Any prayer. God is one. Either you pray in a different way, I'll pray in a different way, it doesn't matter.
Room Conversation with Jesuit -- May 19, 1975, Melbourne:

Jesuit: Do you know the prayer that the Russians use, the Jesus prayer?

Prabhupāda: Any prayer. God is one. Either you pray in a different way, I'll pray in a different way, it doesn't matter.

Jesuit: I know that but I want to know do you know what is known as the Jesus prayer which the Russians use?

Devotee: No, he doesn't know.

Jesuit: It seems to me that you chant, don't you, Hare Kṛṣṇa?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Jesuit: That is a prayer, it's a rhythmic chant.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is prayer.

Prabhupāda: Now that is a form of prayer and the Jesus prayer, would you do the same? You would either chant it...? (break)

Jesuit: Aḥ, well, maybe from the point of your giving glory to God, no difference.

Prabhupāda: Yes. No, that is spiritual, that is spiritual. To give glory to God, that is spiritual. And otherwise, what do you think of this materiality of this chanting? Chanting is not material. Chanting is spiritual.
