1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: So which Vyāsa you accept? There may be multiple, but which Vyāsa? That means if someone . . . I do not know if there were multiple Vyāsadeva.

Dr. Patel: Vyāsa is the surname.

Prabhupāda: No, Vyāsa, Vyāsadeva . . . the guru is called Vyāsa. That is one of . . . but the original Vyāsa is one. Just like we. We worship the birthday of guru as Vyāsa-pūjā day, because guru is representative of Vyāsa.

Prabhupāda: Dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam (SB 6.3.19). Religion means to abide by the orders of Kṛṣṇa. That is religion. Other things are cheating. If they have no sense of God, they do not know what is God, how to abide by the orders of God, that is not religion. Therefore Bhāgavata says, dharmaḥ-projjhita kaitavo atra (SB 1.1.2): "All cheating types of religion system is rejected, kicked out from this Bhāgavata." They're all cheating. "I am God," "You are God," "I am everything," "You are . . ." This is not religion. It is all humbug religion. Go on.

Just see their intelligence. Even no common sense. Why Śukadeva Gosvāmī will take interest? Why Vyāsadeva will write such book? Therefore they do not recognize that Bhāgavata is written by Vyāsadeva. But how they can deny? Bhagavad-gītā, that is also written by Vyāsadeva.

Yaśomatīnandana: So-called scholars like Radhakrishnan says: "It is . . . Vyāsadeva, is some imaginary character."

Prabhupāda: Yes, just see.

Dr. Patel: Why they say even Vyāsadeva is imaginary?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Dr. Patel: They say, some of them, there was not one Vyāsadeva, but multiple Vyāsas, and all sorts of things.

Prabhupāda: So which Vyāsa you accept? There may be multiple, but which Vyāsa? That means if someone . . . I do not know if there were multiple Vyāsadeva.

Dr. Patel: Vyāsa is the surname.

Prabhupāda: No, Vyāsa, Vyāsadeva . . . the guru is called Vyāsa. That is one of . . . but the original Vyāsa is one. Just like we. We worship the birthday of guru as Vyāsa-pūjā day, because guru is representative of Vyāsa.

(break) . . . eating, if this tāmbūla is offered and sandal pulp, it becomes a garland. It becomes very comfortable. Yes.

Yadubara: "When Akrūra finished eating . . ." (break)

Prabhupāda: The guest may be comfortable. Sukham āsīnam (SB 11.2.3). He is seated very nicely, comfortably, then talk. This is the system, receiving guests and talking. (break) "Beware of dog." "Beware of dog. I am living with dog. Don't come here." He poses that "I am friend of . . . dog is my best friend, so don't come here." Yes. His overfaithfulness has obliged him to take the body of a dog.
