So I will not take much of your time. My appeal to you, to Lalaji especially, and with the help of his people, my request to you, all ladies and gentlemen . . . (indistinct) . . . please try to understand the potency of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and make your country . . . because Kṛṣṇa consciousness is in India, it is surprising that India is not serious about Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
I have read in one government paper, Kṛṣṇa is represented as something black aborigine. And people are . . . (indistinct) . . . to worship Him. Such article has been published by the government. An aborigine can give Bhagavad-gītā as it is—just see our intelligence, and they are in the government service.
So it is very unfortunate that we are not taking care of our own treasure house of knowledge, and we are trying to get knowledge from technology and be happy. This . . . there is no question of peace unless you understand Kṛṣṇa. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:
- bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasaṁ
- sarva-loka-maheśvaram
- suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
- jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati
- (BG 5.29)
That is the process of śāntim, and it is actually help . . .
