Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Well, the Hindu community accepts our movement. Every program we have, we have at least . . . we’ve seen at City Hall we had full house, last night; at Mobeni Heights, full house, and they very much appreciate our movement in particular. They come to us when they have questions. So any representative of our movement is pure in his activities, and his understanding of the philosophy is comprehensive. Certainly they'll have no objection. But they see practically that the big men in the Hindu community here, in Johannesburg and Durban. . .
Prabhupāda: You can ask the Hindu community.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They will testify to our character. They accept. They accept.
Prof. Olivier: You see, the . . . South Africa has had to import its priests, its Hindu priests.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Even the young girls who join our movement, they cover their heads. And the Hindu ladies are so impressed that they practice such chastity, even to the extent always covering their head as a sign of chastity. You see? They very much appreciate.
Prof. Olivier: Perhaps I can give you one or a couple of application forms that you could post to one or two people if they’re interested to apply. But this would be, as I say . . .
Prabhupāda: The Hindu community, I think they will accept us. I don’t think they will deny.
Prof. Olivier: Well this would be a wonderful opportunity to bring the essence of Hinduism, because from what I gather here from what you have said, this is not only the essence of religion from here, but it is also the essence of Hinduism.
Prabhupāda: Yes. The essence of Hinduism is Bhagavad-gītā As It Is.
