Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Prabhupada: Where is religion in Western countries? There is no religion. All bogus thing. Religion means to surrender to God. Then where is God, and whom to surrender? They surrender to senses, that's all. So unless there is God, what is the meaning of religion? That is not religion. They have created something, civilized human society. There must be some religion. Just like aristocracy means he must have a good dog, that's all. There is no religion in the world except Krsna consciousness. All bogus. Harikesa: What is the Pope doing, then? (laughter) Prabhupada: He's another big bogus man. The Pope's assistant died in the prostitute's house. Pusta Krsna: In Paris. Harikesa: The Pope comes out on his balcony, and thousands of people cheer and scream. Prabhupada: The same thing, that small animals praising the big animals, that's all. At least they say something about God. They are not zero, but they have no clear conception of God. Pusta Krsna: But everyone is thinking that their religion is the best. Even the Christian may be ignorant, even the Jew may be ignorant, anyone -- doesn't matter -- they're thinking that theirs is the best. Prabhupada: That is the proof that everyone is fool. Andha yathandhair upaniyamanah [sB 7.5.31]. First of all... Therefore we have to understand from Bhagavata that what is real religion. Real religion means love of Godhead. So instead of love of Godhead, the love of doghead is increasing. So where is religion? Everybody should keep a dog and serve him, and where is God? >>> Ref.
