There is evidence. Because... But you are so fool that you do not inquire, "If the Christ is son of God, who is God?" They never inquires. Why did you not inquire?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: He said that God spoke to Moses. God did not tell Moses that He was Kṛṣṇa. He told Moses that He is Jehovah.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Did Christ say that "Jehovah is my father"?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: That makes it very clear.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: I can't remember ever seeing... Jesus never used a name. He only spoke about "my father."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And who is that father? Why did you not...? So here is the father. You should be obliged to us that we are bringing...</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: There are so many names anyway.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then why not Kṛṣṇa?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Yes, exactly. Just like Allah means "the great one," so Kṛṣṇa means "the all-attractive one." It's the same God.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa was proved, and still He is proved. Who is reading others' book all over the world? Therefore He is God. Where is that book so respected as Bhagavad-gītā? Who is printing so many books? Not even Bible. They respected Bible. Why the foreigners are reading Bhagavad-gītā? That is the proof that Kṛṣṇa is God. During the Christmas festival we sold our books greatest number in the history. How many copies Bible you have sold? That is the proof. Here is God. Otherwise why Christians should purchase Bhagavad-gītā during Christmas holiday? And because Kṛṣṇa is God, therefore you have come to fight. Who is going to fight with Jehovah? Who is going to fight with Jehovah movement?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Well, just like in the Middle East area, if they want to describe God or if they want to glorify God, they refer to Him as the Almighty One. And that word that means "Almighty One" is Allah. So if in India they want to glorify God by calling Him the All-attractive One, and that word is Kṛṣṇa, then what is the wrong?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: This is a problem. Because they're such mūḍhas, as soon as there's a name and a form, they immediately associate with material nature, material personality.</p>
