Truth in Krishna consciousness cannot be softened; we must speak as Krishna speaks, without apology.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
[kīrtana in background] Jayatīrtha: ...was sitting previously, which was being worshiped, So now being worshiped at this place. So he sat down because he was thinking that he was good as standing up, same as standing up. So one Vaiṣṇava priest who was taking care of the place, he threw him out. So in the book they complained that the Vaiṣṇavas are considered to be very narrow-minded.
[laughter] Now I can understand... Prabhupāda: Here. He was kicked out. Jayatīrtha: Yes, the boy threw him out. So they were complaining about this. Prabhupāda: Just see. How bogus he was.
No, when I go to met in Hollywood that, in the beginning that Prabhavananda, the rascal said that "Ramakrishna was formerly Caitanya Mahāprabhu." He began like that. Then I could understand, "What a rascal he is, and I have to waste my time." So I did not answer anything. I said, "Thank you very much for your meeting," and I went out. This rascal's first proposal was that Ramakrishna...
Thakur Ramakrishna was formerly Caitanya. This is the beginning. He was so rascal. [pause] This is framework house.
Hare Kṛṣṇa. If some of the svāmīs may have said, they say that "Why you call us rascal and so many things?" So you say that "We are not calling you; Kṛṣṇa says. So we are pushing on Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So we have to repeat what Kṛṣṇa has said.
That's it. We cannot help it. Kṛṣṇa says, na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ [Bg 7.15]. So you are not Kṛṣṇa conscious; therefore you must be mūḍha." Kṣīrodakaśāyī: [Transl. Exactly Prabhupāda. Therefore kicking out.] Jayatīrtha: The best thing Kṛṣṇa has to say about them is that they are abuddhayaḥ. The best thing Kṛṣṇa says about them is they are unintelligent. Avyaktaṁ vyaktim āpannaṁ manyante mām abuddhayaḥ [Bg 7.24]. Prabhupāda: Abuddhayaḥ, no intelligence.
And similarly, those who are demigod-worshipers, they have been described naṣṭa-buddhayaḥ, "lost of intelligence." These are statements in the Bhagavad-gītā. We are preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness; we have to say. How we can avoid this? It may be displeasing to you, but we are not sorry.
