Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 "Indian culture is so strong, these rascals cannot do anything." PrabhupAda: The Vedic civilization is... Therefore India was open to everyone: "Come on. Come here." Therefore they entered as friend, and they conquered. Because India was open. "Yes, you are guest. Come on. You learn here." Lord Jesus Christ also went there to learn. So they kept open everything. Para-upakAra. Still, Caitanya MahAprabhu said... Whatever is done is done. Caitanya MahAprabhu is speaking when it was already conquered by the Mohammedans, the Pathans, but still He said, "Those who have taken birth in India, they must do this para-upakAra, do good to others." He never said, "Don't allow anyone." The Mohammedans have come. He did not care whether Mohammedans comes or Christians come. He knew that "Indian culture is so strong, these rascals cannot do anything. They will come here and plunder for some years and then go away. That's all. So let them do that. But your culture, Indian culture, is so great that you should distribute." BhArata-bhUmite manuSya- janma haila yAra: [Cc. Adi 9.41] "Anyone who has taken birth in India, he should first of all make his life successful and distribute this knowledge all over the world." That is Caitanya MahAprabhu's mission. We are engaged in that mission. PrabhupAda: That's all. All right. If there is no question, chant Hare KRSNa. http://www.hindu-religion.net/printthread.php?
