Tamala Krsna: Beat them with shoes. Yes. Another thing they don’t like is this word “demon.” Oh, they don’t like that at all. They say you call everyone demons. Prabhupada: Yes, you are demons, because you are talking demon, thinking demon. Tamala Krsna: They don’t like that at all. Prabhupada: Because it is in the Bhagavad-gita. Asatyam… Hari-sauri: Sixteenth Chapter? Satsvarupa: Even that Professor O’Connell, he said in his so-called favorable report, “I think you should immediately have a revolution, but don’t use that word demon.” Tamala Krsna: They don’t like that word because it makes them think of themselves. Prabhupada: No. We say democracy is “demoncracy.” Hari-sauri: The title of the chapter is “The Divine and Demoniac Natures.” Tamala Krsna: They would have you change that. Prabhupada: No. It is… Asuri-bhavam asritah. The word is asuri. How can I change?
