I said in many lectures that Christianism means Vaiṣṇavism. Where is the Christian?
Morning Walk Excerpts -- May 1, 1974, Bombay:

Dr. Patel: You know, when, during Christmas, they bring the turkey, they fatten it.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Śrīdhara: "We gopīs of Vṛndāvana having left our homes, friends, and relatives have become Kṛṣṇa's maidservants but He is..." (end)
