Strategic expansion of Krishna consciousness through scientific scholarship and intelligent community engagement across major cities.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Hṛdayānanda: Always more or less warm. Tropical, subtropical. Always nice fruits. Perhaps some day, in a Kṛṣṇa conscious world, we'll have to bring many people there, because there's so much unused land, all very green, lots of rivers, very nice, warm, and no one lives there.
Thousands of miles of very nice land, and no one is using it. We are sending a few devotees back to Argentina, and we're going to try to see what can be done there. We are hopeful that even though our movement was kicked out there, still, there are many, many people who are chanting sixteen rounds or building altars in their homes and offering their food to Kṛṣṇa. And even since the government's kicked out all the different groups, including ourselves, just by your books circulating, many people are becoming devotees and leaving the country to go to other temples.
So actually we're still making devotees there just from the books that were distributed. And now we're investigating to try to again get legal permission, also perhaps establish something like some type of restaurant or farm community there. [break] Prabhupāda: What news? Svarūpa Dāmodara: We're trying to fix a debate in Delhi on October 27th among different scientists and ourselves.
Prabhupāda: Twenty-seventh October? Svarūpa Dāmodara: This month, yes, October 27th. It was Indian National Science Academy. There are some very well known scientists, including Kothari, D. S.
Kothari and other... They told me there is a group of scientists in Delhi, actually from all over India. It's called Mind Group. They like to do research on nature of consciousness.
And they told me that it would be very good if we have a debate between our group and their group. So I agreed to that. And the Mishra, actually, the one who came last time, he also belongs to that group, and Kothari is the chairman of that group, and there's one Bengali called Lankadas[?] Gupta. He's the secretary.
They all belong to that group. So they're going to invite us for a, they call, a round-table debate. It will be about twenty people from their side and five from our side. So we're going to have a confrontation.
