Prabhupāda: So, what news? Dhṛṣṭadyumna: Well, Śrīla Prabhupāda, we've distributed about 70,000 magazines so far this month. So I think we'll reach 100,000 in this month. Even though we are getting much harassment from the police, still we are going on.

Prabhupāda: Why harassment? What is the fault? [break] Dhṛṣṭadyumna: They are mostly godless, Śrīla Prabhupāda. They see us as a nuisance to the public.

We are threatening their sense gratification.

Kīrtanānanda: What fault did Prahlāda have?

Prabhupāda: Sense gratification, we are refusing them? Dhṛṣṭadyumna: We are threatening their sense gratification.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. So it is bad? Dhṛṣṭadyumna: It is bad for their way of life. Just like Prahlāda was preaching to his school friends.

And I think almost 20,000 big books so far.
