Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, we concluded that... The thing is that it's clear... This man will probably get no... No one will listen to him. Everybody will think that it is raving of a madman. Just like whenever the reporters... I remember the Los Angeles...
Prabhupāda: He has given very good reasoning.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Everything is reasonable. But so were your reasons. Just like when you met with the reporter from Los Angeles Times, I remember last year... When this question comes up they, inside they are laughing. When they hear our opinion they think it is a joke. They cannot conceive that the whole thing could be a hoax. We were discussing that actually, that the nation is more dear to most people than their family is, because one will get divorced from his family, but who will give up citizenship? Very rarely does anyone give up his citizenship. But people divorce again and again. So to... The nation is something very strong, that affection, and nation, in America, means this moon shot, all of these things, the truthfulness of the leaders. So this is too shocking. Probably the American people could not swallow it.
Prabhupāda: Yes. (indistinct) Lie.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Right. Why no other newspaper carried the story?
Prabhupāda: It is only because I disbelieved, he disagreed. (referring to Puruṣottama?) He disagreed with me from that moment. He thought me foolish that I do not believe scientific research.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That was in London, I think. I remember.
Prabhupāda: He was a good boy, very good boy. Only for this reason he left. The whole institution he left. Where he is now?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We have not heard from him. Last time he was staying with St. Paul.
Prabhupāda: Yes, the incarnation of St. Paul.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But since that time we have not heard anything.
Prabhupāda: That is also insanity. (sound of metal dishes) No taste.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The milk has no taste or you have no taste, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: I have no taste. And maybe (laughs) has no taste.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In India there's no telling. Generally, recently the milk has been of a good standard, good quality. You might have more taste for lassi. That's a little sweet and nice.
Prabhupāda: Hm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And it's also very good for digestion.
