Professor: May I ask a personal question?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Professor: I heard that you were a chemist before.
Prabhupāda: I was not chemist, but I was manager in a big chemical factory. Therefore, automatically, I learned something of chemist. And later on I started my own chemical factory.
Professor: You were belonging to Bengal?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Professor: And you were having also a guru there?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, certainly. Without guru how can you...
Professor: Yes, naturally.
Prabhupāda: He is my guru. Show the photo.
Devotee: It's just above you, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. He is my guru.
Professor: But you are of the same line of Puruṣottama Sarasvatī, the great philosopher, no?
Prabhupāda: Puruṣottama Sarasvatī? No, my Guru Mahārāja was Sarasvatī, Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī.
Professor: Oh, Bhakti... So that's the same line, no?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. That receiving the perfect knowledge... There is paramparā. Just like I have got perfect knowledge. I tell you. Then you get the perfect knowledge. You tell him. This is called paramparā.
Professor: I read something like that.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā. Evam paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ (BG 4.2). Without that paramparā the knowledge is not perfect. Give them prasāda. Hm?
Hṛdayānanda: We're going to bring you some prasādam? Spiritual food.
Professor: You are traveling all Latin America now?
Prabhupāda: Yes. I have traveled all over the world in eight years. Eight years? From 1967, eight years. So eight years I have traveled around fourteen times or more than that. No, twice in a year, almost.
Professor: (laughs)
Prabhupāda: No, this time, I started from India. Then I went to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Tokyo, from Tokyo to Honolulu, from Honolulu to Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles here, Mexico. And then where?
Hṛdayānanda: Caracas.
Prabhupāda: Caracas.
Hṛdayānanda: And then Puerto Rico. Then Miami, Atlanta, New York, London.
Prabhupāda: And then, from London, I may go directly to Bombay, or I may visit some other European cities where we have got temple. In Paris, in Geneva, in Rome, in Amsterdam, we have got some temple, like this.
Professor: What you're going to do about...?
Prabhupāda: You have seen all our books? These are our books.
Professor: I saw them.(?) I think I had a talk somewhere with...
Prabhupāda: We have got our small and big book. Fifty books we have got. All about Kṛṣṇa.
