The individual soul and Supreme Soul are eternally distinct; part can never equal the whole.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: [prema-dhvani prayers, Samaveta bhakta-vṛṇda ki jaya.] All glories to the assembled devotees. All glories to the assembled devotees. Thank you very much.
Hari-śauri: You require a glass? [indistinct]
Prabhupāda: Yes. I can speak in three languages: English, Bengali and Hindi. But I cannot speak in Oriya. Now our Gaura-Govinda Mahārāja, he has agreed to translate into Oriya from English.
So as you desire, I can speak either in English, Hindi or Bengali.
Prabhupāda: I shall speak in English. If I speak in English, then these foreigners, they will also understand, and it can be translated into Oriya. So? I shall speak in English?
Prabhupāda: You say yes. [laughter] So of course, English is international language, and because we are speaking in English, publishing in English, it has been possible to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the whole world. [Transl. You translate. You stand here and translate.] [Gaura-Govinda translates throughout] So we have first of all presented Bhagavad-gītā As It Is in English. Now it is being translated practically in all the languages of the world. Our Bhagavad-gītā As It Is has been translated in all the European languages, namely French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, in this way, in Europe. Whole America speaks in English.
Whole Australia speaks in English. Besides that, in Asia, Chinese language and Japanese language, they have all translated. So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant for saving the whole human society. The present moment... Not in the present; in this material world always the attempt is to defy the supremacy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
