Prabhupāda: We cannot understand what is the position of this land acquisition. They will remain silent?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There's some political thing behind it. That's sure.
Prabhupāda: The political was Ramakrishna Mission and Tīrtha Mahārāja.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Really? Ramakrishna Mission? Envious. Even though they're not near here, still they can understand how prominent we would become.
Prabhupāda: We have already become more than, more important than.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Tīrtha Mahārāja's brother is active now?
Prabhupāda: What . . .? Rejected. I think of them dead. They may think themselves that they are very full of life, but I think they are dead. What is the use of fighting with the dead body? Dead horse, and what is the use of you whipping? A dead horse will rise up by whipping?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, "Beating a dead horse." There's a saying.
Prabhupāda: I think all of them are dead.
Hari-śauri: Yeah, they're not doing anything. They've retired. They built their own little place, and there they've retired.
Prabhupāda: There is no activity throughout the whole world, er, whole year. Only they come during the festival.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They use this festival as a means of collecting money . . .
Prabhupāda: That's it.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: . . . for the rest of the year.
Prabhupāda: That's it. That they actually do. With this festival, they collect. Whatever they collect, they spend twenty-five percent for the festival, and seventy-five percent they keep it for eating whole year. This is their business. That's a fact; they admit it. And they have no other source.
