1. Persian civilization, very high

    Atreya Rsi: It’s your mercy, Srila Prabhupada. (Prabhupada chuckles) They respect you a lot in Tehran. The royalty respects you. The businessmen respect you. They really respect Prabhupada.

    Prabhupada: Persian civilization, very high, Aryan civilization.

    Atreya Rsi: There was this Persian boy who was translating Bhagavad-gita. He had come with me last month to Vrndavana to have your darsana. Then you had gone to London.

    Prabhupada: Anyway, things are going nice–slow but sure. You have got this Persian civilization and he has got the African civilization. (laughter) Black and white.
