I say that because my Guru Mahārāja appointed me for that purpose.


Morning Walk -- November 18, 1975, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: Patañjali, yes.

Dr. Patel: Patañjali yoga is also . . . He said, iśvaraḥ pari danaiva. Doesn't he say in the rāja-yoga sutra that . . .

Prabhupāda: He is suggesting, but he has no clear idea.

Dr. Patel: He definitely has said in thirty-fourth sutra, īśvaraḥ pari danaiva: "If you can't vacate your mind, put God inside." Īśvaraḥ pari danaiva.

Prabhupāda: (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. Holidays Inn Hotel? (break)

Yaśomatīnandana: . . . accept God. But if they do accept God, then none of their activity shows it. They're constantly trying to disprove God.

Prabhupāda: (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Indian man (2): Śrīla Prabhupāda? This boy wants to go in gurukula school.

Prabhupāda: Very good.

Jayapatāka: In your prayer we say, pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe. But now don't you think we could say "viśva"? (Prabhupāda chuckles) I think that there's no place . . . you've not only covered Western world but practically whole world.

Prabhupāda: I say that because my Guru Mahārāja appointed me for that purpose. (break)

Jayapatāka: One of, er . . . there was a group of reporters who went to see the District Magistrate, and they were asking him, taking interview about so many different things. So finally they kept asking about ISKCON because of our Māyāpur center. So he said, "Well, I can't say anything about that. I can't say. . ." Finally one reporter said . . . asked another very direct question about their staying here, this, that. And he said, "I have order from Indira Gandhi that the officers, that maṭha gaṁrami na.(?) No one, officer, should worry about ISKCON. You just do your own thing. So I can say nothing about them. I have got no authority to say anything about them. We've got this order from Indira Gandhi." Then the reporter said, "Oh, we can print that?" He said, "Please don't print that. Otherwise I will lose my job." So when the local Congress people heard that, they were very happy, our friends. So I think your visit did a great benefit.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes.
