Yamunā: You do some exercises and know God, be self-realized.
Prabhupāda: You should have said to him, "Are you self-realized?"
Yamunā: I'm such a rascal, I didn't even try.
Prabhupāda: If they tell you then he's God...
Devotee (5): (indistinct) exercise and breathing (indistinct) some type of meditation performed.
Yamunā: He's social swami, a very social swami. He's very polished in a material way.
Devotees (5): (indistinct)

Devotee (5): In New York they call them "uptown swamis."

Prabhupāda: So why they should go to the yoga system? The science is more advanced. Before flying in the sky by a yogi he has to press his nose for so many years and the science has given us the airplane. He can purchase ticket, immediately fly. (laughter) What is use of pressing nose?
Yamunā: You explain that in Bhāgavatam.
