<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- October 5, 1975, Mauritius|Room Conversation -- October 5, 1975, Mauritius]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Guest (1): For example, I propose that Swamijī, sitting there, please tell me and I will tell the people they are the leader, to organize a Bhagavad-gītā in English, because Swamijī speaks English.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They can understand English?</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then do it.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes, there are many people.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They can understand?</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then, English edition we have got. French edition... You can speak in French and explain. He can speak in English.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes. We can stay in a village for about seven days or eight days, so that every night, for example, as we do it here, we can do it in a village.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So if you can organize like that, then I will come personally. I will go and encourage you.</p>
<p>Guest (1): I can organize it, Swamijī. There are many people who would like to see you, to talk to you, and to... Not especially to you but to all the swamijis.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. So if you think so, then I can come back again. I'll come back.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes, Swamijī. Do you want me to... I know there is one... Not only one, but if you want me to organize when you come and you would be...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. My point is: if necessary, I can also come. I can go into the village. There is no...</p>
<p>Guest (1): If you spent at least one month in these countries, Swamijī, I could...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Whenever you will say. If you say, I can stay just now one month.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. I can stay.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes, I may organize something there. Then I bring you there.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I am going to Johannesburg today. If you think that my presence will be beneficial, then after a week I can come back.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes, Swamijī. Therefore I...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is a very good program. Very good.</p>
<p>Guest (1): I shall tell them. There are many youngsters.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. So if you think my presence will be very beneficial, then after one week I shall come back. Our life is dedicated for this purpose. Whenever the... Ānukulyena kṛṣṇanuśilanam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]). Wherever there is opportunity, take advantage of it. That is our mission. Little light-fan it to make it fire. That is our mission. I welcome all these suggestions from you. Now you be serious and do it. If you like, I shall come back after a week.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes. I have contacted two president of village. For example, Iskadye(?) There is a village known as Iskadye. Now there is Marshali.(?)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And we have no distinction that "He is Hindu. He is Muslim. He is Christian." No. Everyone is welcome to take this culture, education. We have no such sectarian view. No.</p>
<p>Devotee: Excuse me. Your idea is a program similar to what we've done or been doing previously?</p>
<p>Guest (1): No, Swamijī. Previously you have been only going one day in a village. Only one day means two hours or like this. People are influenced...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Once or continual. Yes. That is required.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes. A continual program.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "Knock, knock, knock, and the door will open." That philosophy.</p>
<p>Guest (1): They have been a little in the villages with books and doing saṅkīrtana in the street. That is very good. But it...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Do saṅkīrtana. The villagers will join.</p>
<p>Guest (1): But at the same time, if we collect all the people together and put it in place and talk to them every day, continually for seven days or eight days...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. It is possible. These are all practical proposals. There is nothing impossibility.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes. Don't you think so, Swamijī? I have proposed...</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Paṇḍāls?</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes. We may build paṇḍāls also. That will be... Because...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Paṇḍāl or no paṇḍāl. You can sit on open place. There is no harm.</p>
<p>Cyavana: We can build a paṇḍāl in one day and put up.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In villages we can sit down underneath a tree. That is paṇḍāl. Why should you unnecessarily spend money? Just cleanse the ground and sit down. That's all. Makes everything simplified.</p>
<p>Guest (1): If it's raining there, Swamijī. Rainy days.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ācchā. Rainy day.</p>
<p>Guest (1): For that we need paṇḍāls.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So think. Kṛṣṇa is giving you intelligence. Think over, and Kṛṣṇa will give you intelligence.</p>
<p>Guest (1): I don't know whether it is practical, Swamijī. That is another suggestion. Like you are here for about seven days. Don't you think it would be good if you come here and you call people, youngsters, for example, those who are interested in the Vedic culture, would come here, in any place, for about seven days or eight days to stay with you and to learn what you want to say.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Like a camp.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Like a camp, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. They are welcome.</p>
<p>Guest (1): You would prepare... At least every individual get one young man who will come.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Yes. Very good suggestion. Immediately accepted. Oh, yes. I speak only selected young men, and they will speak. Yes. That is wanted.</p>
<p>Guest (1): And it will be easier for us to go to their village.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Guest (1): They would guide us.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is very good suggestion.</p>
<p>Guest (1): When do you think that you could do it?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. I can immediately begin. Yes.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: I can give you our address in Johannesburg, and you can write letter trying to organize it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: How long it takes to go from here?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It's just a few hours. Johannesburg letter would only take two, three days.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So you keep the address and be in correspondence.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Best if everything is set up beforehand, so when Prabhupāda comes it is already organized.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Yes. We can put it in newspaper.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But one thing you must be assured, that if you can introduce this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, everyone will be happy. Be rest assured. That's a fact.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Because if you go to the villages...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everyone will be happy. Men and animal, everyone will be happy. Even the trees and plants, they will be happy.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: We could have big saṅkīrtana parties in the villages here too.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: How is it that the trees and plants will be happy?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because they will hear Hare Kṛṣṇa. Not only trees and plants. The insects and everyone, they will have the opportunity of hearing Hare Kṛṣṇa. That will benefit.</p>
<p>Guest (1): If we have got this act, Swamijī, here itself we can organize it. For example, we are getting holidays in November, school holidays, twenty-first November. So we can put it in the newspaper that "Those who are interested, young people from fifteen or twenty to thirty or forty, these people can send their letters and they would come. So we can answer them through newspaper, also radio, through TV, so that they would come...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. If you do organize, then I shall stay. It is very good program. Let us give it some shape with your good cooperation. So Kṛṣṇa is giving you intelligence. He is giving so nice program. So do it practically.</p>
<p>Guest (1): And we can conquer out there.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) Yes. Paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam. Śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtana is so powerful that it will conquer. It will be victorious. So I am very glad to meet you. And do this program. And if you like, I shall come back after a week and do. Utilize me in this way, I shall be very glad. That's all right.</p>
<p>Devotee: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)</p>
