Reverend Powell: "Transcendental" means spiritual, does it?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Reverend Powell: As opposed to material. And . . .
Prabhupāda: So they are always engaged in transcendental devotional service.
Reverend Powell: Always.
Prabhupāda: Always. Then they'll be free from birth, death, old age and disease. Yes.
Reverend Powell: And . . . were the papers correct in reporting you as . . . well, they reported opposite things that . . . but you, of course, hold to transmigration, I gather. And this is . . . death really doesn't happen. It's a change of form? Is that it?
Prabhupāda: Yes. As soon as the . . . everyone dies, so a devotee, after death, in his transcendental form he goes back to home, back to Godhead.
Reverend Powell: Thank you. I take it from what you've just been saying, Your Grace, that this explains what was said here in the . . . referring to illicit sex as being anything that's not in marriage and not for procreation within marriage.
Prabhupāda: Only the sex allowed only for begetting nice children.
Reverend Powell: Yes. You don't feel that . . .
Prabhupāda: And beyond that, sex, that is illicit sex.
Reverend Powell: And that is out.
Prabhupāda: That is not good.
Reverend Powell: What is your attitude to Jesus?
Prabhupāda: I have already explained in the meeting.
Satsvarūpa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: We, we respect him as transcendental representative of God, son of God. Yes. He's . . .
Reverend Powell: Is there some sort of relationship with Lord Kṛṣṇa? I mean . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes, there is relationship. He's coming from Kṛṣṇa. He . . . Jesus the Christ. Christ means Christo, or Kristo, or Kṛṣṇa.
Reverend Powell: Yes? Hmm. Another thing: We, of course, have been impressed by the number of young Australians who have become interested in the Hare Krishna Movement, and we really congratulate you, sir, (Prabhupāda chuckles) on the very fine work that you've done, and the ones who have rescued the ladies from the fire the other day. But I think everybody recognizes that they're most sincere, that they're not involved, because they're not being blessed. They feel they're getting something out of it. But how do you explain . . . I gather that most countries, in Britain and America and so on, that there are many thousands . . .
Prabhupāda: In Africa, in China, in Japan. Everywhere.
