<div class="heading">Yes. The special reason was... That was published in one paper, Voice East. What is that?... Yes. They wrote a very big article that "We thought God is dead but Swamiji has brought God in his kīrtana." They wrote this article. They found God's presence in Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. This Brahmānanda, he was attracted first.

<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Mrs. Wax: ...some young people were attracted to the message and responded and joined Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Is there a special reason? What explanation do you have why some...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. The special reason was... That was published in one paper, Voice East. What is that?</p>
<p>Devotees: Village Voice.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. They wrote a very big article that "We thought God is dead but Swamiji has brought God in his kīrtana." They wrote this article. They found God's presence in Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. This Brahmānanda, he was attracted first.</p>
<p>Mrs. Wax: The first one?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: One of the first ones.</p>
<p>Mrs. Wax: Really?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: His photo was published in New York Times, dancing. He and another boy... (laughter) Yes. He and another boy, Acyutānanda—he is now in India; he is also sannyāsī—these two boys were dancing hand to hand, and this was published in New York Times.</p>
<p>Mrs. Wax: What I'm asking is why could he understand?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then you ask him how, he'll reply. (laughter)</p>
<p>Mrs. Wax: Why did you?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why he became attracted and began to dance. He is present here. I did not ask him to come and dance.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Well, I was just... I cannot say exactly why. I was searching, however. I was looking for something better than what I was doing.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: His father predicted that "This boy will become a pious man. He is not going to take up my business." (laughter) His father is a very big, rich man running on factories. But he was disappointed that "This, my child, will not be a factory worker." Is it not? You tell.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Yes. Actually we also say that it is Prabhupāda's grace that he came here and he actually delivered a process which is nothing of his own manufacture. This chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa is a bona fide transcendental process. And Prabhupāda has delivered it purely. So therefore it has great effect. Although it seems that there are only a few of us who are actually taking to this movement, we consider that we are representative of the whole world. Actually this movement has now spread all over the world. I myself have been in Africa, and the movement is even taking effect there. So we see that our movement is very important, and we have members from practically every country, every religion, every kind of social group in the world. Therefore we see a great scope for this movement. And at the present moment we are not getting so much help from governments, authorities, so many groups that could offer especially financial help. We're having to do everything by ourselves. So therefore our facilities are limited. If we had more facility, certainly this movement would grow far more than it is now.</p>
