Have you any idea of how much money the sect makes every year?

Unfortunately you do not give us the money.
- [4:38]
-
Well how do you spend it your Grace?

We are spending at least, at the present moment, eight hundred thousand dollars per month.

On what your Grace?

On this propaganda all over the world.

Yes. What is that?

She wants to know if we like to work.

We are working more than you. Twenty-four hours in the old age, I am traveling all over the world.
- [15:08]
-
But don’t you get a lot of your money from begging?
- [15:08]
-
No, no, first of all you see working, you cannot work more than us.
- [15:08]

Because I am an old man of seventy-nine years old and I am traveling always, all over the world, twice, thrice in a year.
- [15:08]
-
You cannot work so much at least.
- [15:08]
-
Just one more question please.
- [15:08]
-
Your Grace, your religion is a very ascetic one, will you be living ascetically in Melbourne?
- [15:08]
-
We are told that you will be taken away in a roles Royce.
- [15:08]
-
Our religion does not say asceticism. Our religion teaches to love God.
- [15:08]
-
Your can love God in your this dress, there is no harm.
- [15:08]
-
But it is a self-denying religion, isn’t it?
- [15:08]
-
No, not self-denying, we are using everything, why self-denying?
- [15:08]
-
We simply use whatever is absolutely necessary, that’s all.
- [15:08]
-
But how do you justify trappings like a Roles Royce and a very expensive house to live in?
- [15:08]
-
No. We don’t want Roles. We can walk.
- [15:08]
-
Wouldn’t it be better if you were traveling in a much smaller car, less pretentious?\
- [15:08]
-
Why, why? If you give me a Roles Royce to travel, why should I refuse?
- [15:08]
-
It is my favor on you. I accept it.
- [15:08]
-
Your Grace, would you tell us briefly how you founded the “Hare Krishna” in America?
- [15:08]
-
Well, at least now whole world is chanting Hare Krishna, wherever you go they chant “Hare Krishna.”
