As soon as there is chanting and dancing, small children, automatically they do like this. Automatically. They dance. We have got many children. They dance, they chant. And they fall down and murmurs all the mantras. What is his name?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Bhakta Viśvareta.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ah. Oh, he'll fall flat just like... And he will chant all these mantras. "Nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale..." A small child at three years old. You see.</p>
<p>Guest (1): I mean, advancement has very...</p>
<p>Guest (3): Good association.</p>
<p>Guest (1): ...effect, you know, on the mind.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So therefore we have got our school already in Dallas, to train small children like that. But there is formalities of this nationalism. What is the formalities? Eh?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Just... It's not very difficult. It's just that we have... There is a form that we assure the other countries that we will take care of this child's lodging and all his... So we're bringing children from other countries.</p>
<p>Guest (3): Is it only for boys, or boys and girls?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: No, boys and girls.</p>
<p>Guest (3): And they are very well looked after there?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Up to fifteen, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, as far as possible.</p>
<p>Guest (3): As far as possible. Do you have a prospectus or anything about that school?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Yes, I have literature.</p>
<p>Guest (3): You have literature about that school?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He's in charge.</p>
<p>Guest (3): You are in charge of that school?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Guest (3): I see. Can I ask...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But tell... He has started.</p>
<p>Guest (3): You have started that school?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Prabhupāda started it. (laughter)</p>
<p>Guest (3): Yes. Could you sometime tell me about that school.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Sure, later we can talk.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There are good teachers. We are teaching Sanskrit and English especially.</p>
<p>Guest (3): They teach Sanskrit, English?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is what. We are preparing them so that they can read our literature which is in Sanskrit and English. As soon as they can read, that's education finished. They will understand, practical demonstration, ārati, worship of the Deity, and they play mṛdaṅga, they chant, they join Hare Kṛṣṇa chanting. They are not meant for any technology.</p>
<p>Guest (3): No.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. That we do not train. We are training them to become actual devotee, brāhmaṇa. Not for become technologists. Technologists, there are many.</p>
<p>Guest (1): I think the spiritual element is also essential in life.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh yes. That is the only business of human life.</p>
<p>Guest (1): There must be little bit of, at least little bit of spiritual element in life. Not the whole time. (break) ...I believe every (break) ...goes to this sort of school.</p>
<p>Guest (3): There are so many.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They have no idea.</p>
<p>Guest (1): I have not been there. I just heard about it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Actual spiritual life... (break)</p>
<p>Guest (1): I was trying to read the (indistinct) philosophy. Too difficult for me...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Guest (1): I found it too difficult for me to understand.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Bhagavad-gītā?</p>
<p>Guest (1): No, (indistinct) philosophy, (indistinct)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, nobody can understand. Simply he can understand.</p>
<p>Guest (1): So difficult.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is meant for him.</p>
<p>Guest (3): You read Guru Mahārāja's Bhagavad-gītā, so simple. Even the child can understand who knows English. (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...trouble to the poor animals. Why the poor animals should be killed? They have got equal rights. But these rascals, they will not give equal rights. (break)... National means one who is born in that land. The animals are born in that land. Man is also born in that land. Trees are also born in that land. But they are not national. Only human beings national. Imperfect knowledge.</p>
<p>Guest (4): In Luton, before eighty years... When I was reading the history of Luton, on the page number 176, it was written that there was a great shortage of food before eighty years, and in some place people were cutting their own children and eating.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?!</p>
<p>Guest (4): This is written. If you like that book, I can send you. So the non-vegetarians...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Cutting their children?!</p>
<p>Guest (4): Cutting their own children, killing them and eat them. In some private places in Luton, where I am residing now. The history of Luton has been published by the County Borough of Luton. The non-vegetarian food leaved them to such an extent that they couldn't stay without the meat. And they had to cut their own children. Now we are vegetarian. I have never tasted any meat. I don't know the taste of it. Still. we all exist on vegetables, all sorts of vegetables.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The same thing happened in Kanpur in a hotel. One man was eating meat, and he found a little finger...</p>
