Prabhupāda: They are fanatics, those who are after Hindi. Fanatics. Practical point of view, without English there is no exchange.

Indian man (2): He was blasting our Society. That's why I let him be that.

Prabhupāda: No, still, you should not say like that.

Indian man (3): English, they speak. That's the language they can understand, many things. And all the people can read it.

Prabhupāda: We are making all over India members with these English books. Why do they not say, "No, no, no, I cannot accept English book"? Why they are accepting English books? It is my fault that I have written in English or it is their fault? Why they are accepting? Everywhere we are making Life Members, but why do they accept these English books? They could have refused, "No, no, no. I cannot accept English book." Why they are accepting?

Indian man: (indistinct) at least one more (indistinct).

Prabhupāda: I know one boy, he is about forty-two years, but he was practically my first student. He is a very big scholar in Sanskrit. But because he does not know English, he is useless. He could not make any..., prosper in any way. He is taken as half-educated. He was appointed as vice-chancellor of the Darbhanga Sanskrit University. Maybe it is only name. Anyway, now his teaching period is over, now he is useless. He does not get any service, although he is a very big Sanskrit scholar. The only defect, that he does not know English—he does not get any responsible position.

Pañcadraviḍa: He will not learn?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Pañcadraviḍa: He does not want to learn?

Prabhupāda: No, he was trying to learn, but he could not learn it. If he is serious, he can learn, but he is not serious.

Indian man (1): If we learn English perfectly, the local priests will (indistinct) local languages. Because those others don't speak English anymore.

Prabhupāda: No, local language is required.

Indian man (1): Suppose if we learn English, then we can preach in our local language.
