They foolishly say that "Oṁkāra is better than Kṛṣṇa. There is no need of chanting Kṛṣṇa. That is not good." But so far we are concerned, we say there is no difference between oṁkāra and Kṛṣṇa. All other system, Christianism or Buddhism or Muhammadanism, they have got one book—Koran, Bible, or . . . what is the Buddhist book? . . . (indistinct) . . . one book.

Amogha: Śrīla Prabhupāda? Here it mentions Brahmān, and as I understood oṁkāra . . . my question is whether oṁkāra is a representation . . .

Prabhupāda: There is no question about oṁkāra there. Discuss on the verse. But oṁkāra is also Kṛṣṇa. Praṇavaḥ sarva vedeṣu. Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya praṇavaḥ sarva vedeṣu ([[Vanisource:BG 7.8 (1972)|BG 7.8]]). Kṛṣṇa says, "I am praṇavaḥ." So oṁkāra is not different from Kṛṣṇa. But oṁkāra is pronounced by the impersonalists. That is the difference. Kṛṣṇa, when He says that "I am praṇavaḥ, I am oṁkāra," then where is the objection? They foolishly say that "Oṁkāra is better than Kṛṣṇa. There is no need of chanting Kṛṣṇa. That is not good." But so far we are concerned, we say there is no difference between oṁkāra and Kṛṣṇa. All other system, Christianism or Buddhism or Muhammadanism, they have got one book—Koran, Bible, or . . . what is the Buddhist book? . . . (indistinct) . . . one book. And we have got so many, dealing with the same subject matter. So which is better? Higher mathematics, or two plus two? They should understand the gravity of this movement, my presentation of books. They haven't got so many books. Two thousand years passed, the Christian religion has got only one book, Bible. And their only pastime of Christ is crucifixion. That's it. There is the cross. Therefore it has become hackneyed. People are no more interested, neither they can explain very nicely. Neither they follow strictly whatever little information they have.
