Prabhupāda: I have not said that you dress like that. You like, you dress. Did I say that you do it?
Priest: It's like the Indian Catholic priest dressing like a . . . (indistinct) . . . priest or like a European priest. I mean, they look as if they had a disguise with them. I don't know if you have been to . . .
Prabhupāda: No, no. Just like when the English were ruling, English national. So the Englishmen never said that, "You dress like Englishmen," but they automatically dressed. You know very well. It is like that. The Englishmen, they went there to get some money by trade, by politics. But they never went there to change their dress. But they thought that, "If I dress myself like Englishman, I will be more honored." That is their point. Similarly, we never preach that "You dress like this." But the student, they like this dress. That's all right. What is the wrong there?
Priest: It's not wrong; it's funny.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Rather, these girls, when they dress in Indian way, they look more beautiful. That you will have to admit. Yes. The same girl will dress in your coun . . . way.
Priest: That I am . . . (indistinct) . . . for it. (laughs)
Prabhupāda: So the girls, the women, they like to be more beautiful. So if by dressing in other way they look beautiful, why should you ask them not to do it?
Priest: Maybe for ladies and girls certainly, but for the dhotī and . . .
Prabhupāda: But we are not concerned with the dress; we are concerned with the advancement of spiritual understanding. That's all.
Yogeśvara: Jyotirmayī, is this the guest that was scheduled to come at seven o'clock?
Jyotirmayī: No, he's not here yet . . . (indistinct)
Priest: Have you got any French literature of conception . . . (indistinct) . . .?
Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.
Bhagavān: French literature. He's asking for French literature. (French) (break)
Jyotirmayī: He translated the Tukārāma in French.
Priest: Tukārāma.
Prabhupāda: Tukārāma. Tukārāma is great Vaiṣṇava devotee of Maharashtra. His movement was saṅkīrtana movement.
Devotee: He was the one who was initiated by Lord Caitanya?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bhagavān: This was southern India? Southern India?
Priest: Maharashtra.
Prabhupāda: Maharashtra, yes. Southwest.
Priest: For the north it is south and the south it is . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: (japa)
Devotee: Śrīla Prabhupāda, another thing that's stated in the Bible, in the Christians' philosophy, they say that God created man out of His own image. It's stated in the Bible. So therefore man has a form, why not God? Because it's stated there in the Bible.
Prabhupāda: Yes. I think Bible is on the personal understanding of God
Devotee: And also that . . .
Prabhupāda: Christ says that he is son of God. Unless one is person, how he can beget a son?
Devotee: They talk about the Trilogy—the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. It is like, compared like the Father . . .
Prabhupāda: Bhagavān, Paramātmā and Brahman, yes. Brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate (SB 1.2.11), it is the same idea. Brahman, Holy Ghost, is impersonal, but Son is person and God is also person. I do not know much about, but I have heard from Christians that there is assembly of God, and Lord Christ has got a seat by the side of God. Is that not explained?
Devotee: It's on His right hand.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Devotee: On his right side he's supposed to be seated.
Prabhupāda: Yes. These are all personal ideas.
Devotee: And they say also, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name."
Prabhupāda: Hmm? "Hallowed be Thy name."
Devotee: "Hallowed be Thy name."
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Devotee: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Prabhupāda: That's nice.
Devotee: They're praising the name of the Lord.
Prabhupāda: Yes. No, we have got very regard, good regard, for Christianity. We take it as Vaisnavism. It is explained according to country, time. And the commandments are very nice. The first commandment is, "Thou shall not kill," but that is not stopped in the Christian world. Therefore we say that the Christians are not following. Christianity is all right. Those who are professing Christianity, they are not following.
