The soul is eternal; the body changes; death is merely transmigration under nature's immutable laws.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Jaya. Mukunda: Śrīla Prabhupāda, this is Mr. Robinson, Mike Robinson, from London Broadcasting Company. It's a very prominent news program in London, and he wanted to interview you, ask some questions. Prabhupāda: Thank you. Mike Robinson: Good evening. Pleased to meet you.
If I could just spend one or two minutes setting up the microphone.. Prabhupāda: If you like you can sit down, take that. Mike Robinson: That'll be lovely. Shall I explain the program? We do a religious program for two and a half hours on a Sunday which covers all different religions, and what we'd like is, people in London have seen, you know, many members of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement on Oxford Street. And if you would explain more about the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, how it was formed, what you believe, this sort of idea, so that people would have a better understanding of the movement. And I'll just set up a tape recorder first.
Mukunda: This is your biography, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Yes, I have seen it. Encyclopedia. Mike Robinson: Could we just talk for a minute or two so that we could get all this set up? If you'd like, just to tell me, you're going to India tomorrow.
Prabhupāda: Yes, I am leaving tomorrow. Mike Robinson: And when did you come into England?
Prabhupāda: Huh? Hari-śauri: About seven days ago. Mike Robinson: Oh, I see. It's just that I'm setting a level, that's all.
Your Grace, could I ask you, first, how you pronounce your name?
