We should speak strongly

Tamala Krsna: I think we’re the only… I think that what you are telling us
is perfect in that now what we have to do is we have to vigorously explain
our philosophy.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Tamala Krsna: That’s the only way. We have to educate them. If we remain
silent now, then we will become squashed. We have to speak positively. “Yes,
this is why… We are like this because of the following reasons.”
Prabhupada: Yes. And that is good for human being. That you have to
convince. And actually that is fact. They are in ignorance. And they are
advertising as scientist, philosopher-false propaganda. That is my view from
the very beginning. They are nothing, all bokas. My Guru Maharaja used to
say. In the beginning I could not understand, that “Why he says everyone is
boka?” (laughs) Actually that is fact. They do not know the value of life.
Tamala Krsna: They are criticizing us because we say every one of them is
demons. They don’t like that.
Prabhupada: Prahlada Maharaja said his father, demon. Asura-varya. Tat sadhu
manye asura-varya: “Best of the demons. My dear best of the demons.”
(laughs)
Tamala Krsna: I mean that’s why… Just like in that Back to Godhead. The
thing is that some of our devotees are becoming a little bit…
Prabhupada: Influenced.
Tamala Krsna: Yes. Influenced, and they’re a little scared, you know.
They’re fearful.
Hari-sauri: They don’t want to upset people.
Prabhupada: That you should not be.
Tamala Krsna: No. That’s why it is that the Back to Godhead magazine is
being compromised a little. They are fearful. But actually that magazine is
our platform for speaking strongly. In your Back to Godhead that you were
publishing, you were very, very strong.
