Jayatīrtha: In our Amsterdam temple, out of the, er . . . there's about sixty devotees, and they're from seventeen different countries. Seventeen different nationalities are represented in the temple. I think there's nowhere else where so many different nationalities are living together.
Prabhupāda: No. This is the nucleus of United Nation, real. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam (ISO 1), to understand everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa. That is the basic principle of United Nation. Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā, samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu (BG 18.54). In that stage there can be equality. Otherwise not.
Pañcadraviḍa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, the text on the back of this magazine here, the back advertisement for the Gītā . . .
Prabhupāda: Here?
Pañcadraviḍa: . . . is very nice wording. It's referring to India.
Prabhupāda: This. Oh, yes. This is the fact.
Brahmānanda: Headline. "This book is sacred to 650,000,000."
Prabhupāda: "650,000,000" means?
Brahmānanda: Indians.
Jayatīrtha: That's about the number of . . . according to the books, that's the number of Hindus in the world. I wrote that text. That impresses people.
Pañcadraviḍa: Because they are saying this is not religion, and we're saying, "How you can say it's not religion when already 650,000,000 people are following it?"
Prabhupāda: The practical example is there. In everywhere they are coming to the temple. So in England there is opposition?
Jayatīrtha: Not really. There's none of this deprogramming or any trouble like that. People are pretty peaceful. We have a pretty good reputation. The government doesn't oppose us.
Prabhupāda: They oppose our Ratha-yātrā.
Jayatīrtha: Our Ratha-yātrā, yes.
