Facebookon találtam egy korabeli beszélgetést Srila Prabhupaddal Magyarországról.

Sajnos lefordítani nincs energiám, de könnyen érthető, és így is nagyon izgalmas és tanulságos:

Room Conversation with GBC members

March 2-3, 1977, Máyápura

"...Prabhupáda: We have got very good encouragement from Budapest. You have read that letter. That means there is very good potency of our movement being accepted in communistic countries. Just read that letter.

Tamála Krisna: Yes, Srila Prabhupáda. You like this garland, Srila Prabhupáda...?

Prabhupáda: All right. You have brought it; I must like it.

Devotees: Jaya Srila Prabhupáda.

Satsvarupa: Shall I read on?

Prabhupáda: Yes.

...

 Read it.

Tamála Krisna: "We're very happy to see that by your divine mercy the whole world is flooded with Krisna consciousness. Just by printing and distributing your books the whole world will change. We can see the tremendous effect that your books already caused in the Communist countries of Eastern Europe. The people are mad after your books. Many of them can see that this is the only solution to get out from the miseries that are caused by the materialistic way of life and Communism. Please let me quote from a recent letter sent by a boy in Hungary." The boy's name is Yedi Peta. " 'According to the advices now, I am chanting daily on beads I made at home. I also have purchased the Bhagavad-gītá As It Is, although I can only speak Hungarian. Now I do not give any more importance for the evidences from chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc. Rather, I appreciate A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupáda much more than any scientist or philosopher.' "

Devotees: Jaya!

Rámesvara: Haribol!

Pancadraviḍa: Intelligent.

Tamála Krisna: " 'There have been many others also in the past... There maybe have been others also in the past who were pure, but to my person, Srila Prabhupáda is the nearest and dearest. I feel the importance of living in the association of devotees and of accepting the guru. However, at the present there is no temple here, so I neither can associate with devotees, nor can I be accepted...' "

Prabhupáda: So it is not possible to start a temple there?

Bali-mardana: Budapest?

Prabhupáda: Who is taking care of that side?

Devotees: Harikesa.

Prabhupáda: So, if possible, try.

Harikesa: It's very difficult.

Prabhupáda: No. You don't take much risk. But there is customer.

Harikesa: We have a... Actually we have a very secret preaching center there.

Prabhupáda: That's all right. Do cautiously so that everything may not be capsized. If you cannot do... Dhairyát. Caught dhairyát tat-tat-karma... Patient. Then?

Tamála Krisna: " 'This unfortunate situation must be due to my past sinful lives. I have already accepted Srila Prabhupáda as my spiritual master, so I desire...' "

Prabhupáda: So encourage him to start. We can help.

Harikesa: Actually, Srila Prabhupáda, this is not the best man.

Prabhupáda: No, whatever he is, for the time being, he's the best man. He's willing to give you service. He should be encouraged. He's so enthusiastic.

Tamála Krisna: He says, " 'So, I have desire that the time will come when Prabhupáda will accept me and I may have the fortune to be taught by him and have the association of the devotees.' "

Prabhupáda: Very good. So take this man as important for future activities. Try to encourage him and train him. He'll be good help."
