Indian man (5): What will happen to this generation after ten, twenty years? Prabhupāda: No, if the rascals—again we have to say "The rascals"—the rascal leaders mislead them, there is no hope. Indian man (5): There is no hope. Prabhupāda: There is no hope. Now, to prove Bhagavad . . . from Bhagavad-gītā, nonviolence, how it is possible? Bhagavad-gītā begins with the word yuyutsavaḥ. And now, if you want to make it nonviolent, that is misleading. Yuyutsavaḥ means "Fighting spirit." Dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ (BG 1.1). So where is nonviolence there? But our leaders want to prove Bhagavad-gītā nonviolence. Is not misleading? Hmm? Why you should misinterpret Bhagavad-gītā?.

Prabhupāda: You become guru, authority. But you learn first of all as celā from the guru. And then you become guru. And without any learning, without any . . . how become a guru? That is going on. Everyone is self-made guru. That has to be stopped.

Indian man (5): I feel, in this country at least, the young generation, the present generation, absolutely has got no base, religious base. And . . .

Prabhupāda: Religious base is there. There is scriptures. But they are not being trained up.

Indian man (5): They are trained, but after some time they . . .

Prabhupāda: They do not like to be trained up.

Indian man (5): What will happen to this generation after ten, twenty years?

Prabhupāda: No, if the rascals—again we have to say "The rascals"—the rascal leaders mislead them, there is no hope.

Indian man (5): There is no hope.

Prabhupāda: There is no hope. Now, to prove Bhagavad . . . from Bhagavad-gītā, nonviolence, how it is possible? Bhagavad-gītā begins with the word yuyutsavaḥ. And now, if you want to make it nonviolent, that is misleading. Yuyutsavaḥ means "Fighting spirit." Dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 1.1 (1972)|BG 1.1]]). So where is nonviolence there? But our leaders want to prove Bhagavad-gītā nonviolence. Is not misleading? Hmm? Why you should misinterpret Bhagavad-gītā?

Indian man (5): Swāmījī, there is no salvation for this country?

Prabhupāda: There is. Not everyone is misled. One who can protect himself from this misleading . . . andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). If they can understand their leaders are blind—they have no knowledge—then they'll be saved.
