Prabhupāda: Let them oppose. You do your duty. Introduce this Vedic culture in your country. In future they will appreciate. There will be history how Vedic culture was . . . and the whole nation will be benefited—from material side. And spiritual side there will be, what to speak of? These literatures, this art, this strength, this philosophy . . . everything wonderful. (break)
Rāmeśvara: . . . involved in some political activity, we must follow his example.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. There is no doubt about it. We shall follow strictly to politic, economy, sociology, philosophy, religion, art, culture—everything. So we are not only for Hare Kṛṣṇa. Of course, Hare Kṛṣṇa is ultimate. That is . . . includes everything. But we should never say that politics is not our field. Why not? Kṛṣṇa took part. Kṛṣṇa instructs everything.
Rāmeśvara: The whole war of Kurukṣetra was just so Kṛṣṇa's devotees would rule the kingdom.
Prabhupāda: Yes. It was designed by Kṛṣṇa. But the idea was to kill. "Call them all together here and kill them. Bās, finished, all the demons finished." This is Kṛṣṇa. "Instead of killing them separately, call them here and kill. Finished." Like slaughterhouse. It was a slaughterhouse for the demons. "Call them and kill them. Bās, finished." Nimitta-mātraṁ bhava savya-sācin (BG 11.33): "It is all my design. Even if you do not fight, they are not going back to their home. They must be killed." This is Kṛṣṇa's plan. "You simply take the credit. That's all. It is all My design. You are My devotee. I want to give you this credit. Otherwise, without your help they are already killed." So . . . Kṛṣṇa . . . paritrāṇāya . . . He has got two business: paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8). This is another side of His business . . .
