Christian Kindler: Prabhupāda, my mother had the idea of going to rich parents who are very anxious about their children who've become hippies and saying that this movement . . .
Prabhupāda: So you should write article that, "We are not hippies, but we are converting hippies to the sane condition. So father, mothers who are anxious for their children, let them send their children to us. We take care." In this way you make impression in the public mind.
Christian Kindler: And also they make donations.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So our New Vrindaban scheme is there. Let them help and send their children. We make just opposite number of hippies. Yes.
Miss Rose: Swāmījī, but that has to be advertised in papers . . .
Prabhupāda: So why don't you do it? This is a service. You can do it.
Miss Rose: Yes, right.
Prabhupāda: You are acquainted with so many people. You are experienced.
Miss Rose: But I mean so people can read it. So they'll understand it's not hippies.
Prabhupāda: Yes. You go to responsible men and see that, "This is a nice movement. Why don't you patronize it to save your country from the hippies' falling down, confusion?" We are saving. Practically this Society is giving the best service to your country.
They should appreciate, but they should not misunderstand us. How we can be hippies? We completely . . . that is also said. How foolish man he is, that, er . . . in that article, Satsvarūpa, in that article, it is clearly stated that we are refusing all these things. How they conclude that we are hippies?
Satsvarūpa: It wasn't a bad article.
Prabhupāda: Oh! What a nonsense he is!
Christian Kindler: He is worried that hippies come to the ceremonies to see us.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
Christian Kindler: I think that's why he's worried about hippies.
