And the government indirectly giving us so many hindrances in India. Yes. They do not like. One of the important member of the cabinet, he frankly said that “We do not want that your movement will increase very fast in India.” Because they know it, Indira Gandhi and company, that India is naturally inclined to Krsna. And if the selected people of the world, combined together, they push this movement in India, then the whole program of the modern leaders will collapse. That’s a fact. And that was my idea. I wanted to start this movement from India, but nobody cooperated. So then I decided to come to America. And my plan was successful.
