Prabhupāda: Chanting in the street. Isko kuch upay kijiye. (Find some solution for this.) What do you want to do? Propose. Hold a meeting of all the gosvāmīs. You take the leading part. Go to Viśvanātha Goswami. If you like, he can go with you to see others, "This is the position. You come and join." What do they say?

Indian man: I . . . (indistinct) . . . contacted them, call a meeting.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Immediately.

Indian man: How long you are staying here?

Prabhupāda: I will stay if you hold immediately meeting in this temple. We have got enough space here. First of all you see some leading gosvāmī, and then you chalk out how to fight. All the sampra . . . now it is question of Kṛṣṇa cult, it is not only Gauḍīya. So take gosvāmīs, some of you, and meet all the leaders and hold a meeting, immediately arrange. And explain the whole situation. Let us combine. And those who are educated, they should go. We shall arrange for their all expenditure. It doesn't matter. Fight. "This is a genuine cult. If you discriminate, that is discrimination against religion, cult. We are accepting everyone, but it is a genuine cult. You also Christian, you accept anyone; why you say it is not genuine?" That we have to prove. There the Hindus and Indians who are there, they will also join. So immediately hold a meeting. It is very serious situation. Aap leading part lijiye. Aur jo goswami hain, aur sab jo jo hain sab combine hoke chaliye sab apko hum leke jayenge. (You take the leading part. And the Goswamis and others, who are all combined and come with us, we shall take all of you.) This is genuine movement. Why the American government should be discriminating against a genuine religious sect, Kṛṣṇa? Make this company. (aside) Prasāda, give him prasāda. Very seriously deliberate. And you go with him. We have got any car?

Hari-śauri: Not right now. Not at the present moment. (aside) Haṁsadūta's van here?

Prabhupāda: Where our car has gone?

Akṣayānanda: Bareilly. They have program in Bareilly.

Prabhupāda: When?

Akṣayānanda: Two days ago they went.

Prabhupāda: No, when the program is?

Akṣayānanda: Now it's going on.

Prabhupāda: Going on.

Akṣayānanda: Mmm.

Prabhupāda: When they will come back?

Akṣayānanda: About one week, one and a half weeks.

Prabhupāda: So we can ask them to come back. The car will be required both here and there.

Akṣayānanda: Okay. That's easy enough. I can do it.

Prabhupāda: Mmm. Or any other car available?

Hari-śauri: (indistinct) . . . Krishna Chand.

Akṣayānanda: No, he doesn't have one.

Prabhupāda: No, Viśvan . . . there is always car.

Hari-śauri: We have the motorcycle.

Akṣayānanda: We can arrange elsewhere. It's okay.

Prabhupāda: Hah. So(to sab se miliye. (meet everyone.) He will go with you, immediately. Meeting arrange kijiye. (Arrange the meeting.) Thank you very much.

(pause)

Prabhupāda: Combine together in Vṛndāvana. Fight . . . without fight where is life? If there is no fighting, then what is that life? That is dead stone. Fight must be there. Kṛṣṇa's whole life is fighting from the very birth. His father carried Him to Gokula where He is still living, and He fell down from the Yamunā and . . . just born, fighting began. Just born. And at Yaśodāmayī's house, Nanda Mahārāja's house, so many demons daily coming—Śakaṭāsura, Aghāsura, Bakāsura, Pūtanā, so on, so on, so on; ultimately Kaṁsa, when He was young boy. Vṛndāvana, so many asuras came. You have seen the pictures? Kṛṣṇa is fighting with the horse demon, with the bull . . . (indistinct) . . . fighting. If Kṛṣṇa is fighting, why not Kṛṣṇa consciousness the same thing? You cannot expect peaceful life. No, there must be fighting, then think, "That is Kṛṣṇa's presence, His fight." So this fighting means they're feeling the presence of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Otherwise why they're arranging fight? Had it been an insignificant thing, there was no question of fighting. (bengali) The gun, Howitzer gun? What is that? German, some gun they will go from this part of . . . this side of English Channel to other. Calais, the other side Calais?

Devotees: Calais.

Hari-śauri: Calais in France.

Prabhupāda: Calais in France. So from France to other side English Channel, London, that's all right.
