Devotee (1): I think Candragupta's name is also.... The last emperor of India. (break) ...fighting between the demons and the demigods, the demons brought mountain and it was in fire, the jungle, and it was split by dynamite, and all the stones fell down on the enemies. Where is that war plan? Bring the mountain on the head of the enemies and split it by dynamite, and it will.... (break) This information is there, that dynamite was there, and it was used for breaking mountain. Fighting was taking place. Not in this planet, upper planet.
Hari-śauri: This is in connection with the churning of the ocean?
Prabhupāda: Yes. (break)
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Is it actually possible for the demons to win?
Prabhupāda: Sometimes. When there is fighting, both the parties will have chance to win. What is this? (break)
Devotee (1): ...degraded activity in the public parks. Fighting and intoxications and all kinds of nonsense. Just like animals. (break)
Devotee (2): And there were so many people that we decided that next weekend we'll come and distribute magazines and incense.
Makhanlāl: In the Bhagavad-gītā, Eighteenth Chapter, 54th verse, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā (BG 18.54), it says that the person in brahma-bhūtaḥ realization at once realizes the Supreme Brahman. If the devotee is situated on the platform of the brahma-bhūtaḥ, but he may not necessarily see everything as Brahman, does that mean that his realization is by intelligence, and by his activity, or what does that mean?
Prabhupāda: Realization of spiritual identification.
Makhanlāl: Realization of spiritual life?
Prabhupāda: Identity.
Makhanlāl: Identity? (break) Brahman realization for the devotee in the beginning is just that he realizes his constitutional position as servant of Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is next. First of all, that "I am not this body." That is Brahman realization.
Makhanlāl: So we may only be partially situated in that realization in our present level of devotional service.
Prabhupāda: You realize or not realize, if you remain on the platform, that is same. (break) ...in Kṛṣṇa's service, that is brahma-bhūtaḥ stage. (break)
Makhanlāl: ...says that such a person never laments nor desires anything. So...
Prabhupāda: Yes. If you realize that you are servant of Kṛṣṇa, where is lamentation?
Makhanlāl: Due to māyā's influence, a devotee may sometimes materially lament.
