No Need For A Rolls Royce. We Can Walk - Prabhupada 0061
Reporter (4): Your Grace, your religion is a very ascetic one. Will you be living ascetically in Melbourne? We’re told you’ll be taken away in a Rolls Royce.
Prabhupāda: Our religion does not say asceticism. Our religion teaches to love God. You can love God in this dress. There is no harm.
Reporter (4): But it is a self-denying religion, isn’t it?”
Prabhupāda: It is not self-denying. We are using everything, why self-denying? We simply use whatever absolutely necessary, that’s all.
Reporter: But how do you justify trappings like a Rolls Royce and a very expensive house to live in?
Prabhupāda: No, we don't want Rolls Royce, we can walk. But if you offer Rolls Royce, I have no objection.
Reporter: Wouldn’t it be better that you were traveling in a lot smaller car, less pretentious?
Prabhupāda: Why, why? If you give me a Rolls Royce to travel, why shall I refuse it? It is my favor upon you, I accept this.
