Tamala Krsna: â€¦kidnapped three of our devotees about a week before weâ€¦ Just about a weekâ€¦
Prabhupada: So we cannot take any position?
Tamala Krsna: Well, no, because the kidnapping is legal. They gotâ€¦
Prabhupada: Then what can be done?
Tamala Krsna: They got permission from the court for conservatorship.
Adi-kesava: But two of the devotees have already escaped.
Prabhupada: If it is legal, what can I say?
Tamala Krsna: Yeah, thatâ€™sâ€¦ This is their new tactic now. This is their new tactic, that theyâ€™re getting the court permission.
Prabhupada: Then Americansâ€™ liberty is gone.
Tamala Krsna: Thatâ€™s why the lawyers and others are very alarmed, the intellectuals, â€™cause theyâ€™re seeing it is becoming like Russia.
Adi-kesava: Theyâ€™re saying now that psychological freedom is more important in the law than religious freedom.
Prabhupada: Whatever it may be, if the law helps to kidnap, then what you can do?
Tamala Krsna: He says that just now there was a meeting of the five hundred leading rabbis of the Jewish faith in favor of deprogramming, because theyâ€™re very alarmed that the young men and women of the synagogues are joining our movement and other type of movements and leaving their so-called past religion. So the rabbis are going to take upâ€¦ They like this deprogramming. They like this kidnapping. And he says also that just now in Newsweek magazine thereâ€™s been a big article printed in favor of deprogramming, special article about this Tucson, Arizona, deprogramming center. So he says that he expects more and more of this deprogramming. Heâ€™s a little bit alarmed because all of our leaders will be here in India now for the next few weeks.
Tamala Krsna: So heâ€™s a little alarmed that weâ€™ll all be coming to India, and these deprogrammers, they know this. So heâ€™s concerned.
Prabhupada: So do you think by going there theyâ€™ll be saved?
Tamala Krsna: By staying in America, you mean?
Prabhupada: Hm.
Tamala Krsna: No.
Prabhupada: Then?
Adi-kesava: Most of the work that we can do doesnâ€™t have much to do with someone being taken, one person. It has to do with dealing with the whole issue. When we makeâ€¦
Prabhupada: No, how is this American law is allowed that anyone can be kidnapped?
Tamala Krsna: Yes, thatâ€™s the whole pointâ€¦
Adi-kesava: We have gotten in some states injunctions from the court so that people cannot be taken. For instance in California they have an injunction. In Massachusettsâ€¦
Prabhupada: If this injunction is there, why donâ€™t you take steps andâ€¦?
Adi-kesava: They took them from other states. So weâ€™re trying to extend it now to the other states. But in some places there are new laws, so we have to find a new way to go against it. We have just defeated the law in the state of Vermont. They proposed one lawâ€¦
Prabhupada: That law, but is what can I say?
Tamala Krsna: Yeah, no, I mean he wasnâ€™t asking for any statement. I was just giving it as information.
Prabhupada: That they have already taken. (converses with man in Bengali) (break) When there is fight, fight is fight. Theyâ€™ll take their tactics; we shall take our tactics.
Tamala Krsna: You can see which groups are alarmedâ€“the parents, the rabbis, and the priests.
Prabhupada: They should be alarmed. If Hare Krsna movement goes on, then their culture will be finished.

Tamala Krsna: Just see. They call a meeting of five hundred rabbis, all of the leading rabbis, and the Jewish leaders in the whole USA, just to deal with this question of â€œThe cults taking our children.â€
Prabhupada: (laughs) Us? Auâ€¦?
Tamala Krsna: Yes. Weâ€™re the main cult.
Prabhupada: Then? This is a verse. They do not know what is the aim of life.
Hari-sauri: â€œNeither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.â€ All liars and cheats.
Prabhupada: This is demon.
Tamala Krsna: Theyâ€™re filthy. Thatâ€™s for sure. They are filthy. They have no idea ofâ€¦ In New York you can see that. They smell nasty. They keep on their shoes. You have to tell them to takeâ€¦ They never wash after eating. Even animals wash. At least they try to keep clean.

PRABHUPADAâ€™S CURSE
For flickering happiness, people waste their human energy, not understanding the importance of the Krsna consciousness movement but instead accusing the simple devotees of brainwashing. Demons may falsely accuse the preachers of the Krsna consciousness movement, but Krsna will arrange a fight between the demons in which all their military power will be engaged and both parties of demons will be annihilated.
