The Gita's uncomplicated message of devotion to Krishna, properly understood without interpretation, creates both individual liberation and flourishing spiritual communities.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: [Transl. There was some problem in Pondicherry?] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. The entire āśrama belongs to Aurobinda.]
Prabhupāda: [Transl. Hmm. I have heard that there was some party dispute?] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. There was some dispute, but not the party dispute. It was due to some other reasons.]
Prabhupāda: [Transl. I see.] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. Some political reason arose.] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. Some political reason arose.] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. Auroville is being set up.]
Prabhupāda: [Transl. What?] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. An international center called Auroville has been set up. Some people from there have created some disturbance. Some foreigners have come to stay there. Now they are saying—we are independent. We have no connection with Aurobinada society something like that.] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. We want something like Vatican city.] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. We want independence.]
Prabhupāda: [Transl. I see.] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. Since few years, at that place Aurobinda...]
Prabhupāda: [Transl. Did you take some water?] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. Yes.] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. Yes.]
Prabhupāda: [Transl. Aurobindo Society, that is also, Gītā.] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. That is also promoting Gītā.] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. Without Gītā.] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. Aurobindojī has put more stress on Gītā.] Shri Bajāj: [Transl. Aurobindo has made a condition. Those who seek divine guidance from within, they will be eligible for admission. They must have this goal in mind. The essence of Gītā is to seek divine guidance from the consciousness. To live in Auroville one must be the willing survitor of the divine consciousness. This is his words.] Śrī Nārāyaṇa: [Transl. I see.] Śrī Bajāj: [Transl. Divine consciousness and the Kṛṣṇa consciousness is one and the same thing.] Śrī Nārāyāṇa: [Transl. Everything is Same.]
