1. Maya in the temple

    Hrdayananda: [translating question] She says at the temple there is much maya and that the people who live in the temple are phonies.

    Prabhupada: And where there is no maya? Tell me a place where there is no maya. We shall go there. [much laughter and cheering] In the temple there is no maya. Because I am in maya, I am thinking that temple is maya. That is said in the Bhagavad-gita, mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te [Bg. 7.14]: "One, anyone, who surrenders to Me, he overcomes the influence of maya." Therefore… Every member in this temple, they are surrendered. Therefore they are not in maya.
