Prabhupada: Sraddha-sabde visvasa sudrdha niscaya. This is basic platform, that “What Krsna says, that is truth." Krsna bhakti kaile sarvakarma krta haya: "If I follow Krsna, then my business is complete." This is intelligence. Now...We have come to the open field. How it is nice. And so long we were passing through that congested areas--hellish, simply hellish. And now here is open space. How it is nice.Hari-sauri: To enter into a city is so imposing on your consciousness.
Prabhupada: Up to that point, simply rubbish, all papers thrown here and there. People are living in... Now see here, how it is open and pleasing. Organize this farm project. Farm. (background talking)
Hari-sauri: He's just saying that in the West one requires a great deal of capital. To start a farm, to get the land, you need a lot of money because land is very expensive. And also we have to use modern farming techniques because we have so few men to run the farms.
Prabhupada: No, you show example. People will do automatically. When the people find it is very nice, they will take.Prabhupada: Why householders? Everyone. Hare Krsna. (japa)
Ramesvara: In America there is a very big emphasis on getting people to join us by moving into our temples. The temple presidents are very eager to get as many people to move in as possible, but in the long run most people cannot come up to the standard.
Prabhupada: Therefore I am [advocating]...Farms.
Ramesvara: So they have to be encouraged to have a little bit of Krsna consciousness in their own home, make their home a temple.
Prabhupada: No, let them go to the farm, New Vrindaban.
Ramesvara: Many people... Most people in the world, they are grhamedhis, and they cannot give it up so easily.
Prabhupada: "No, you remain... Come here with your wife, children. You remain grhamedhi."
Jagadisa: New Vrindaban is very austere. If we build little bungalows with modern convenience...
Prabhupada: Oh, yes.
