This is actually India's culture. So I explained in that meeting that, "After many, many births, one is given the opportunity to take birth in this holy land of Bhārata-varṣa. Unfortunately, you people, you are by force making them materialist. They had the opportunity to take advantage of the contribution of great sages, ṛṣis, to study and to become a successful human being, but you are, by force, dragging them from that attitude to this materialistic way of life. This is violence.

Vyāsadeva—who can be greater scholar than Vyāsadeva? He has written . . . his last contribution is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and each word, if you study for hundreds of years, still, you have to understand. Each word. Such a scholar. He was living in a cottage.

So this is actually India's culture. So I explained in that meeting that, "After many, many births, one is given the opportunity to take birth in this holy land of Bhārata-varṣa. Unfortunately, you people, you are by force making them materialist. They had the opportunity to take advantage of the contribution of great sages, ṛṣis, to study and to become a successful human being, but you are, by force, dragging them from that attitude to this materialistic way of life. This is violence. This is violence. What you are speaking of, nonsense, nonviolence? This is violence." So about twenty years ago I was thinking like that.

So actually, people are being killed not only in India, but outside also by these blind leaders. They do not know how to lead people, how to make them happy, how to make them successful in their human form of life.
