Mr. Sahani: But as it is, it is in Sanskrit, and it is very difficult to understand in the.

Prabhupä da: Not at all. What is the difficulty? Suppose

dharma-kñ etre kuru-kñ etre

samavetä yuyutsavaù

mä makä ù pä ë ò avä ç caiva

kim akurvata saï jaya

[Bg. 1.1]

So dharma-kñ etre kuru-kñ etre. Kurukñ etra is still there, and it is a dharma-kñ etra. From Vedic order, Kurukñ etra is dharma ä caret. Still, people go there by thousands and by millions as pilgrimage. So where is the difficulty dharma-kñ etre kuru-kñ etre [Bg. 1.1]? Unless you make difficulty. But as the literature is, dharma-kñ etre kuru-kñ etre [Bg. 1.1], where is the difficulty to understand it? Kurukñ etra is there and it is dharma-kñ etra. Where is the difficulty? Unless you make it difficult.

Prabhupä da: Then do that. Hold a meeting among the Gauò é ya Vaiñ ë avas here, and I will explain the position. Now we should combine together and fight. As soon as you introduce something strong, there will be fight. There will be fight. Even Kå ñ ë a had to see the fight, Kurukñ etra. Dharmakñ etre kurukñ etre samavetä yuyutsavaù [Bg. 1.1]. The fight must be there, yuyutsavaù. So if you belong to Caitanya Mahä prabhu's party, then you should come out to fight. Whatever done is done, and it is done single-handed. Nobody has helped me. Even not my god-brothers. These American boys, they have helped me. They understood the philosophy and they helped me. Rather, they are criticizing that I am making these American boys sannyä sé, and giving them sacred thread. They are criticizing. What is your opinion?

(Room Conversation on New York court case November 2, 1976, Vrindaban)

Why do you take Bhagavad-gé tä? The beginning, the first line, is yuyutsavaù. Where is nonviolence? (Hindi)

Indian man (7): How can you fight a war and then be nonviolent at the same time?

Prabhupä da: Eh?

Indian man (7): How is it possible to be nonviolent...

Prabhupä da: Why you want nonviolence?

Indian man (7): They are talking so much about nonviolence...

Prabhupä da: Just like here is a monkey. Is it not violence sometimes to drive away them? There will be attack, and you have to protect your... This world is not like that, that there is no... It is not Vaikuë ö ha. It is material world. There will be attack. Even if you are not..., you are nonviolent, the others will be violent. Others will set fire in your house without any fault. They'll kidnap your wife. This is going on all over the world. You must protect yourself. (Hindi) How you can stop him? Thieves and rogues, even if you are nonviolent, they will come, take advantage. It is your duty.

BG 1.2

Prabhupä da: No, we don't care for Indians and Europeans. We care for Kå ñ ë a, that's all. I didn't care for anyone. I simply care for Kå ñ ë a, that's all. And my Guru Mahä rä ja, that's all. I went to your country, not supported by Indians and Europeans. I went on the order of my Guru Mahä rä ja and under the shelter of Kå ñ ë a's protection, that's all. That is wanted. Guru-kå ñ ë a-kå pä ya pä ya bhakti-latä -bé ja [Cc. Madhya 19.151]. We want two favours. One from guru, one from Kå ñ ë a. That's all. We don't want anyone's favour. So you have to fight. You cannot fight (sic:) immaterious. Kå ñ ë a never said, " Arjuna, oh you are my devotee, you sit down and sleep, I shall take care of..." He never said that. (laughs) So if you take that position, we are devotees, non-violent, and let us sleep, that is not... Fight! With all the resources that we have got. That is wanted. ….

Prabhupä da: … So prepare for fight. Don't be afraid. Arjuna, they were five brothers and the other party, one hundred brothers. Therefore Dhå tarä ñ ö ra was confident, that " What are these five brothers without any help, we have ruined them. They were in the forest for thirteen years. Lost all connection, no kingdom. I have got government in hand, and my sons are, hundred sons, and we are well equipped. How? Therefore the... Bring that Bhagavad-gé tä, då ñ ö vä tu pä ë ò avä ë é kam [Bg. 1.2].

Aksayananda: Ä cä ryam...

Aksayananda: Ä cä ryam upasaì gamya rä jä vacanam abravé t [Bg. 1.2].

Prabhupä da: Yes. What is the translation?

Aksayananda: " Saï jaya said, 'Oh king after looking over the army gathered by the sons of Pä ë ò u, King Duryodhana went to his teacher and began to speak the following words.' "

Prabhupä da: …Caitanya Mahä prabhu's mission is to preach. So you join us. Why should you be limited within Vå ndä vana? The people are taking this, and there is... Now they are feeling the strength. The whole world is now combining against this movement. That means they are feeling the strength. Certainly it is (indistinct) credit.
