Bali-mardana: Prabhupāda, can I offer you a fresh garland?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Thank you. It is too fresh.
Bali-mardana: Huh?
Prabhupāda: Too fresh. (laughter) Water.
Bali-mardana: Oh, I'm sorry.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. Now, you can take this. Kīrtanānanda Mahārāja, you can take this. Kīrtanānanda Mahārāja. Where is Viṣṇujana? He can take this.
Devotee: Viṣṇujana Swami.
Prabhupāda: And if you can distribute among the others? Where is my, that wrapper? Yes. So the Deity is open?
Bali-mardana: Yes, yes.
Prabhupāda: So I'll go and see the Deity, and from that door I shall get out.
Bali-mardana: I see. I'll arrange.
Prabhupāda: Yes. (break) Ready?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: No, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: So ask them to keep my one cloth out; otherwise I may require in the . . . (indistinct) . . . at least one sweater, one wrapper.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: So is that . . . our version about Christianity is all right?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Wonderful, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Huh, where is Christian? Simply by saying that, "I am Christian . . ."
Ātreya Ṛṣi: There is no Christian.
Prabhupāda: There is no Christian. Otherwise there is no difference between Christianity and our philosophy. They're Christian, we're Krishnian. And Christ comes from the word Kṛṣṭa. So if they actually follow the commandments given by Lord Jesus Christ, the world will change, immediately.
Devotee: Is that solely . . .
Prabhupāda: Unnecessarily, false argument. Even Jesus Christ ate meat, you cannot imitate. You have to follow his instruction.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, our best . . . I have found that the best argument is, you practice. Proof.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So I shall go? No.
Bali-mardana: A few minutes, I think, 'cause they are still packing.
Prabhupāda: All right.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: None of these religions have produced a sannyāsī.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: None of them—a person who is detached from material life.
Jayādvaita: I was reading in the Bible . . .
Prabhupāda: Therefore I refused this Bhāgavata reader. He wants to come here, and no, we don't want these professional men. We want men who have sacrificed their life for God. We want such men, not professional. The so-called priests, they are professional.
They are earning money. That's all. Just see, they . . . how the karmīs are earning money by their business, and it has become a business. Everywhere, religion has become a business.
