Srila Prabhupada's request to Indians

[Bhakti Vikasa Swami]

My request is that it is a very scientific movement, authorized from, taken
from the Vedic literatures, and based on the principles of Bhagavad-gita as it
is. So our only request is, especially here in India, they should take it very
seriously and try to apply the principles in their life, and spread it all over
the world. That is the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: janma sarthaka kari'
kara para-upakara [Cc Adi 9.41]. We Indians, we are not meant for exploiting
others. That is not our civilization. Cheating others -- no. That is not ours.
Our civilization is to do good to others. This is Indian civilization. Don't
forget it. You have got a very exalted position. Take advantage of the sastras,
make your life successful and try to do good to others.
