I am not diluting Krsna.

[Guest guest]

People say so much about me, that I have done some wonderful thing. But I

say that I am not a magician. I'm not a magician. My only credit is that I

am presenting Krsna as He is. That's all. I am not diluting Krsna. That is

not my business. And therefore, because it is pure, pure ghee, therefore

everyone accepts. And if you place dalda, mixing with ghee some rascal

thing, then nobody will accept. Therefore, so many swamis went before me in

the Western countries, and they presented adulterated, and there was not a

single person became a krsna-bhakta. Now, by thousands they are becoming.

Why? Because it is presented pure thing. Pure thing will be accepted

everywhere. I give this example. In a, in Delhi, there is... I have seen.

One, there is confectioner's shop. He rigidly prepares in pure ghee all the

sweetmeats. So you'll find always hundreds of customers there. And there are

by the side of that... Dalda manufacture. It is not... People are still

prepared to pay sufficiently if you give pure thing. So our this Krsna

consciousness movement is presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. We have not

manufactured anything. While I started this movement in America, some friend

suggested that "You are writing 'International Society for Krishna

Consciousness.' Why not make it 'God consciousness.' It will be accepted by

everyone." God is Krsna. There must, there must be clearly stated: "Krishna

consciousness." I don't mind if nobody accepts it, but there must be

'Krsna.'
