<p>Prabhupāda: Why the young people go to university?</p>
<p>Woman Guest: I'm sorry?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why in the university you'll find all the students are young boys and girls? Why?</p>
<p>Woman Guest: That's the age of education.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's the age of Kṛṣṇa consciousness (laughter). Old fools, they cannot change their opinion. (laughter)</p>
<p>Woman Guest: Why just in the last five years?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because they have got now. Before this there was no such thing. Now they have got it, they're coming.</p>
<p>Woman Guest: Were you trying before then?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Before there was no such movement in your country.</p>
