Prabhupāda: That is the most successful. Wherever book distribution is going on nicely, that is successful. Because people are in gross ignorance. They are taking this temporary life as everything. Very horrible condition. We are trying to explain what is the actual life.
Satsvarūpa: Here in Denver they have to compete with many bogus groups. This is the world headquarters of Guru Maharaj-ji and many other. . . They like to come here, the mountains. So they're always making our propaganda against them.
Prabhupāda: So make propaganda against them vigorously. We have got sound footing. What these nonsense have? Tell them all nonsense, bogus. This rascal Guru Maharaj-ji is God, and the other rascals are accepting him, God? This rascaldom is going on in such civilized city? He is God?
Satsvarūpa: Well, Kuruśreṣṭha, the president, says that the local people are very much disgusted with him. They don't like him.
Prabhupāda: Challenge that "I shall kick on the face of this rascal, and if he is God, let him punish me. If he is God, let him punish me. I am prepared. So come on in the public. I kick on his face, and let him do whatever he likes. I am prepared. If it is God, let me (him) kill me by his mantra or by his will. Then I will accept him." This is challenge, that "I shall kick on his face in public, and if he is God, let him punish me. And you are so fool that you are accepting this rascal as God? You belong to American nation, advanced. You are so fool? You have become so rascal?" Challenge like that. "He has come to cheat you, and why you are so befooled that you are being cheated?" He is convicted in the court that he is a. . . what is called, deceiver. Yes. The court judgment is there. He is a deceiver.
Brahmānanda: There's now a warrant for his arrest.
Prabhupāda: Now there's a warrant for his arrest. What he can do? And he is God? God is so cheap, and you have accepted him as God? What is this nonsense? But we give you credit, that you are searching after God. That is. . . So try to understand by education. What is this nonsense, blindly accepting some rascal as God? Everyone knows God is great. Is he great? Then why he is punished by the court? This is the park?
Satsvarūpa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Very nice park. Not far away. (japa) (break) . . .interested with this natural history. That means Darwin's theory, that's all. Their whole civilization is based on this Darwin's theory. How long you shall keep history? Do you know what is the history of the sun, when it was created, when it came into appearance? Can Darwin give us the history of the sun, of the moon, of the sky? Where is the history? There is history, but where is your history? You simply imagine, "There was a chunk, and it became manifested as the sun, moon, and I am also this. . ." What is this? How this cosmic manifestation came into existence, your explanation is: "There was a chunk." And what other nonsense?

Harikeśa: Hawaii was not a very healthy place for me. Hawaii.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
Harikeśa: All the rain and the sun and the rain. (break)
Prabhupāda: . . .you will find today's text. It has given very nice example, that the prostitute changes her dress to attract people. Similarly, we are changing our dress for sense gratification. Yes. (break) Nature, material nature, has been described as the prostitute, and we are trying to become the husband of the prostitute. Has anyone become happy by becoming husband of a prostitute? (laughs) (break) . . . Paṇḍita has said,
- duṣṭā bhāryā śaṭhaṁ mitraṁ bhṛtyaś cottara-dāyakaḥ
