Prabhupāda: Take prasādam, see drama, read books, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Bās. And if you like, you can live with us. So where is the difficulty? Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). Ānanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhāvitābhis tābhir ya eva nija-rūpatayā (BS 5.37).

(pause)

Prabhupāda: That American politician has predicted that "This Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, within ten years, they will capture our government." (laughs) So do it actually. (laughter) Then it will be very nice. It is not... Simply take the people in your favor—the government is yours. That they are afraid of. The young boys, they are taking Hare Kṛṣṇa movement seriously, so the government can be changed in their favor. After all, it is democracy. So you can do it. You become president; you'll become senator. In America it is possible. And if America accepts... What about this new president? Or... Formerly I heard about him that he is religious man.

Saurabha: His mother is... She was working in India.

Prabhupāda: Oh.

Saurabha: So she's very favorable towards India. She was some type of social worker in India.

Prabhupāda: His mother? Oh. Then at least he has got some good thinking.

Saurabha: They said... There's a movie star in Bombay, and he is..., he's a friend of this Carter. So Jagat-puruṣa is going to approach him. He's a very good friend of..., because his mother, she was working in India and she knew this family. So they have a lot of friends in India.
