Whatever I have done, I have given my will and purpose of honor; you try and maintain it. Otherwise I have no desire—nothing. I have no such sentiment, "This is my country, this is my…" If I would have been driven by such sentiment, nobody leaves Vṛndāvana in this condition of life.


Prabhupāda: Oh, whatever I have done is done; now do. But I do not wish to return back to be governed by these nasty laws. Most nasty. And now I can live here very comfortably. I can live in America very comfortably. Finished. In India, oh, they have put me into so much uncomfortable position that sometimes I cried. They do not have to say . . . (indistinct) . . . so what is this cut, cut? It is not . . . (indistinct) . . . by such treatment I have lost my health.

Indian devotee: (indistinct) . . . last year which I have saw and just compared to this, I couldn't believe them from the report.

Prabhupāda: I can die in London. (break) But anyone who is transcendental meditator, everyone is a rascal, magician. They do not know what is God, what is bhakti, how to perform it.

Rādhā-Gokulānanda. I am svāmī; if I die in London, that is my great fortune. Why should I return to India, to feel always botheration, anxiety? Whatever I have done, I have given my will and purpose of honor; you try and maintain it. Otherwise I have no desire—nothing. I have no such sentiment, "This is my country, this is my . . ." If I would have been driven by such sentiment, nobody leaves Vṛndāvana in this condition of life. I have no special love for India. I am not that materialistic, nationalist or this "ist" . . . (indistinct)

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It is a pleasure to be here because of the devotion. It is . . . the devotion is everywhere, all of these devotees.

Prabhupāda: There are so many nice devotees here. I am so much pleased how the boys and girls are enjoying spiritual life, dancing wonderful. Here also the Indians are not coming.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No.
