Prajapati: …Srila Prabhupada, that it was published in a nationwide magazine. They showed that where people's trust was. They weren't trusting anything very much, but they trusted the medical people number one, and organized religion as such was way, way down, number eight or so. Why are people trusting the doctors so much?

Prabhupada: Because they are under this impression the doctors are scientifically advanced. But the doctors' science is also imperfect. Because they do not know what is the soul. They do not believe in soul.

Karandhara: They trust the doctors the first, and they trust television the second.

Prabhupada: Television. [laughs scathingly]

Karandhara: Whatever they see on television, they accept.

Prabhupada: Why they give so much authority to television?

Karandhara: Well, everyone watches it, so they just become indoctrinated.

Prajapati: That is their altar in their home. It is in a permanent place in the center of their house, and they put flowers on top, and they worship like that.

Prabhupada: [laughing] Hare Krsna.
