Prabhupāda: I am eighty years.
Interviewer: Eighty. How long have you been a Hare Kṛṣṇa man?
Prabhupāda: Ten years. I began this movement when I was seventy years old.
Interviewer: What were you before that?
Prabhupāda: I was householder. And I retired, and I was living in Vṛndāvana, a holy place in India. My Guru Mahārāja asked me to do this. So I could not begin earlier. So I thought it wise to begin at seventy years. So somehow or other, Kṛṣṇa has given us some opportunity to get cooperation of these young boys, and they're helping me.
Interviewer: What is your opinion of the Guru Maharaj-ji?
Devotee: What is your opinion of Guru Maharaj-ji?
Prabhupāda: Huh? Not only Guru Maharaj-ji, so many Mahārāja. So this movement is authorized. Others, they are some imaginary sentiments. That's all. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is authorized movement, Vedic culture. And they, in the name of Vedic culture, talking some nonsense. That's all. That is the difference. Do you know about Guru Maharaj-ji?
Interviewer: No, no.
Prabhupāda: None of you?
Interviewer: You've met him?
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Interviewer: You've met him, have you?
Prabhupāda: No, what business I have got to meet him? He says that he is God. Do you believe that bogus statement? That he's God?
Interviewer: Do you think he's an egotist?
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Devotee: Do you think he's an egotist? Do you think he's an egotist?
Prabhupāda: That is all simply foolishness. If somebody says "I am God," do you think it is very reasonable statement? Bogus. Simple thing, bogus.
Interviewer: Bogus?
Prabhupāda: Bogus!
Interviewer: Oh, bogus. Do you believe that Hare Kṛṣṇa is the only true faith?
Prabhupāda: Yes. This is real knowledge. We have got, I have already told you, only on this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, there is one book by Professor Judah. Have you got that book?
Devotee: No.
Prabhupāda: He has written one book very authorized, Hare Kṛṣṇa and Counterculture. So we are being accepted by learned circle, and who cares for these rascals? Nobody cares. Only some sentiment. There is no science; there is no knowledge. Here it is authoritative knowledge based on Vedic culture.
