Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What dress.
Prabhupāda: Yes. I may dress myself to your liking; I may not. Rather, you like the Santa Claus dress. You are Christian. I am pleasing you by dressing myself like this. Why you are not pleased? I am trying to please you.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They say, "Well, actually you're concealing your identity."
Prabhupāda: That is my liking. You cannot dictate. I'm not pickpocketing you. What is the objection?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They say, "Well, why don't you tell people who you actually are? Why don't you say you're a Hare Kṛṣṇa?"
Prabhupāda: No, that is my desire. You cannot dictate.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, you're asking me for your money.
Prabhupāda: But unless you know that I'm Hare Kṛṣṇa people, how you are dictating me?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You're asking me for my money, though.
Prabhupāda: Huh? No, I am asking everyone.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But you're going to use it for Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But we didn't know you were Hare Kṛṣṇa. We thought you were Santa Claus.
Prabhupāda: Whatever it may be, I am asking money from everyone. It is your liking. You give or not give.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: See, for many years there were these other Santa Clauses from the Salvation Army. So now they made a complaint that now no one knows who is a real Santa Claus because we are... The difference is they stand next to a big...
Prabhupāda: But is there any law that nobody can dress like that?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. We're only...
Prabhupāda: Then?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There was a lot of publicity.
