Govinda dāsī: (indistinct) . . . people, as they are walking to classes, they shall . . . (indistinct) . . . drawn. (break)
Prabhupāda: . . . and he wanted to give him some benediction. So Duryodhana said, "I request you to become guest of my cousin-brothers after Draupadī has finished his (her) meals." (laughs) This intrigue and rivalry, they are always. Even five thousand years ago, such great personalities. Eh?
(crashing sound)
Babhāra milaha mūrkhaya.
Govinda dāsī: (laughs) I don’t remember that one.
Prabhupāda: In our Indian family, if the want for purīs and a little vegetable, it will be prepared in five minutes. Five minutes, immediately. My brother's wife, very nice wife, I saw, whenever I wanted some tiffin like that—within five minutes, immediately. They were so quick and knew the art how to do it. Gas stove is there; it doesn't take much time.
Śyāmasundara: Electric is a little . . .
Prabhupāda: Electric is no use—rascal. You cannot know what is the temperature. Gas you can control.
Śyāmasundara: Would there be a place to Xerox some pages?
Gaurasundara: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So you can keep this bag the same place?
Śyāmasundara: Might have to take this flowerpot . . . (indistinct) . . . out of here.
Prabhupāda: So there is no other alternative to save your country than this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Are you convinced of this fact or not? Yesterday, when I saw the students, it is such a rich country, and they are all urchins. What responsible work they can do? Don’t be sorry. I sometimes see that our students are so irresponsible that their cloth is drying for three years. They have no sense that, "The cloth is now dry; let us take it." Anyway, it becomes habit, irresponsible. That is natural when one has got money . . . (indistinct)
Gaurasundara: (aside) These things are already broken . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: So these are signs of fall down. This American nation, if their young men are becoming so irresponsible, careless, then what is the future? Their father and grandfathers built up this American state so nicely by their labor, hard labor, and these boys will spoil it. Now to speak the truth, all the students who have come to me, they are spoiled; simply saved by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Do you agree to that?
Devotee (1): Yes.
Prabhupāda: So if you actually want to do something for your country, this is the only, only means you can save your country. Such a great nation, they are neglecting, and this rascal Nixon, he is engaged in Vietnam. He does not see what is happening in his own country. Such a rascal he is. Simply for self-aggrandizement. And anybody stands for presidency, he’ll be killed. Any good man that stands for presidency, he’ll be killed by Nixon and company. It is very sinister, this Nixon. I am very doubtful that he has killed all these Kennedys. These big, big men, Kennedys, are killed, but no information was given what was the matter, how he was killed. There was no inquiry.
