Prabhupada, Fiji, May 24, 1975: […] So our request is that Bhagavad-gita is very popular book. Don’t try to interpret Bhagavad-gita whimsically just to show yourself a big scholar, big politician. No, don’t do that. Try to understand Bhagavad-gita as it is. Then you will be benefited.
Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gita, this book. It is about eleven hundred pages. We are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is, without any interpretation. And the result is that thousands of the foreign country youths, they are becoming Krishna conscious. The proof is there. The proof is there. And all over the world, in Europe, America, Canada, Australia and Japan, even in Moscow and Africa, everywhere, we are not failure.
That is Krishna’s grace. Because we are presenting Krishna as it is, Bhagavad-gita as it is, it is being accepted. Before me, many swamis went to the Western countries. They also talked about Bhagavad-gita and other Vedic literature.
But not a single person could be converted to Krishna consciousness, not a single person throughout the whole history, background. But since 1967, we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is; thousands of young generation, they are taking to Krishna consciousness. This is the result.
So either we remain in Fiji or in England or anywhere, because Krishna is the proprietor of everything, everywhere…, Sarva-loka-mahesvaram. So Fiji is a small part of the sarva-loka. So if He is the proprietor of all the lokas, then He is the proprietor of Fiji also. There is no doubt about it. So the inhabitants of Fiji, if you take to Krishna consciousness, that is the perfection of life.
That is the perfection of life. Don’t deviate from the instruction of Krishna. Very directly, bhagavan uvaca, directly Bhagavan is speaking. You take advantage of it. There is solution of all problems of the world if you refer to Bhagavad-gita. Any problem you present, there is solution, provided you take the solution.
Nowadays they are facing a scarcity of food. The solution is there in the Bhagavad-gita. Krishna says, annad bhavanti bhutani: “Bhutani, all living entities, both animal and man, they can live very nicely without any anxiety provided they have got sufficient food grains.” Now what is your objection to this? This is the solution. Full Lecture
