Indian guest (5): I have one question. Swāmījī, you accept Kṛṣṇa as the supreme glory . . .
Prabhupāda: I do not accept, the whole Vedas accept.
Indian guest (6): But in our Hindu religions, there are gods and goddesses. There are so many.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. That is for material purpose. Those who are after material benefits, they can worship different demigods. That is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gītā. That is the point. You are reading Bhagavad-gītā. You should note all these things. Kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānā yajante anya-devatāḥ (BG 7.20). Those who are bewildered or lost of intelligence, they go to worship other demigods.
Indian guest (5): Basically we accept . . .
Prabhupāda: So those who are interested in spiritual salvation, they need not worship other demigods. But those who are interested for material profit, they can worship demigods. Yajante anya-devatāḥ. Karmaṇā . . . there is a verse. Just to have immediate result of material profit, the Vedas recommend, "All right, you worship this demigod, that demigod." So our concern is we don't want any material profit; we want Kṛṣṇa. Therefore we do not require to worship demigods.
Indian guest (7): But why not Viṣṇu?
Prabhupāda: Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa the same. Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa the same. Kṛṣṇa is viṣṇu-tattva.
