Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

He says, "I am God." Therefore there is no difference. If Jesus Christ is son of God, and Kṛṣṇa says "God," then where is the difference? If your son comes, "I am son of such and such gentleman," and if you say, "I am that gentleman," then where is the difference? Where is the difference? If I say, "I am Mr. such and such, such and such," and if my son says, "I am the son of Mr. such and such," then where is the difference? There is no difference. Christ says, "I am son of God." And Kṛṣṇa says, "I am God." So Christ becomes His son. So where is the difference? And Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ: "As many forms are there, living entities." Why not of Christ?
Lecture on BG Lecture -- Ahmedabad, December 8, 1972:

Guest (3) (Indian man): No, I am Indian.

Prabhupāda: Then, sir, you believe like Indian. (break)

Guest (3): ...question of belief. It is a fact. But people say it is belief.

Prabhupāda: Fact is fact. You believe or not believe, fact is fact. (break)

Guest (3): ...belief. (break) ..."I am son of God."

Guest (4) (Indian man): And what about Kṛṣṇa? He says...

Prabhupāda: He says, "I am God." Therefore there is no difference. If Jesus Christ is son of God, and Kṛṣṇa says "God," then where is the difference? If your son comes, "I am son of such and such gentleman," and if you say, "I am that gentleman," then where is the difference? Where is the difference? If I say, "I am Mr. such and such, such and such," and if my son says, "I am the son of Mr. such and such," then where is the difference? There is no difference. Christ says, "I am son of God." And Kṛṣṇa says, "I am God." So Christ becomes His son. So where is the difference? And Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ: (BG 14.4) "As many forms are there, living entities." Why not of Christ? What do you say? Is that all right? Thank you. (break)

So I shall request you, all respectable gentlemen present here, that there is very good prospect of preaching this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. That is my experience after working for the last four or five years. So our countrymen also, those who are leaders, those who are thoughtful, philosophers, scientists, they should try to understand this Kṛṣṇa philosophy. That is my request. It is very clear to understand the science of God. Why you should neglect and by, mislead ourself by understanding some misleading interpretation? That is my mission. I want to establish throughout the world that kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam (SB 1.3.28). Here is Bhagavān. Why you are searching after Bhagavān? Here is Bhagavān. I give the name and address of Bhagavān. His father's name and everything. Why you are being misled? Where is the scope for searching out where is Bhagavān? Here is Bhagavān. Śrī-bhagavān uvāca. Therefore in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said... It does not say kṛṣṇa uvāca. Śrī-bhagavān uvāca. Its name is Bhagavad-gītā, spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Bhagavad-gītā. Śaṅkarācārya says: bhagavad-gītā kiñcid adita.(?) Śaṅkarācārya says. Kiñcid adita. If, if somebody wants to understand Bhagavān he must read Bhagavad-gītā. Kiñcid adita. He never challenges Kṛṣṇa. So we have to understand the whole thing, whole philosophy, whole science of God through Bhagavad-gītā. Then our life is perfect. Why Śaṅkarācārya says bhagavad-gītā kiñcid adita? Why? Can you say? (break) ...little of Bhagavad-gītā.

Guest (4): (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.

Guest (4): (break)

Prabhupāda: Simply by understanding Bhagavad-gītā you understand what is the science of God.

Guest (4): (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: (break) ...it is so full of knowledge, it is so full of knowledge. Yes.

Guest (4): Simply recitation of Bhagavad-gītā...

Prabhupāda: Yes. (break) ...not the parrotlike reading. No. We don't say that. Still, parrotlike reading also will help you.

Guest (4): Knowledge will be achieved in janmanām, bahūnāṁ janmanām ante (BG 7.19).

Prabhupāda: Yes, ahh, yes... (end)
