Reporter: (break) ...special servant of God.
Prabhupāda: I'm always servant of God, it is for you to recognize, that's all. I'm always servant of God, but it is for you to recognize.
Reporter: Have you any idea how much money the sect makes every year?
Prabhupāda: We can spend all the money of the world.
Devotees:(laughter) Haribol!
Prabhupāda: Unfortunately, you do not give us the money.
Devotees: (laughter) Haribol!
Reporter: What... how do you spend, your Grace?.
Prabhupāda: We are spending at least, at the present moment, eight hundred thousand dollars per month.
Reporter: On what, Your Grace?
Prabhupāda: On this propaganda, all over the world. And we are selling our books, not less than forty thousand dollars per month.
Reporter: Do you like to work?
Prabhupāda: Yes. What's that?
Madhudviṣa: She wants to know if we like to work.
Prabhupāda: We are working, more than you—twenty-four hours in the old age I am traveling all over the world.
Devotee: Haribol!
Reporter: But don’t you get a lot of your money from begging?
Prabhupāda: No, no. First of all you see. Working—you cannot work more than us, because I am an old man, seventy-nine years old, and I am traveling always, all over the world, twice, thrice in a year. You cannot work so much, at least.
Devotees: Haribol! Prabhupāda.
Madhudviṣa: Just one more question please. Yes.
Reporter 4: Your Grace, your religion is a very ascetic one. Will you be living ascetically in Melbourne? We’re told you’ll be taken away in a Rolls Royce.
Prabhupāda: Our religion does not say asceticism. Our religion teaches to love God. You can love God in this dress. There is no harm.
Reporter 4: But it is a self-denying religion, isn’t it?”
Prabhupāda: It is not self-denying. We are using everything, why self-denying? We simply use whatever absolutely necessary, that’s all.
Reporter: But how do you justify trappings like a Rolls Royce and a very expensive house to live in?
Prabhupāda: No, we don't want Rolls Royce, we can walk. But if you offer Rolls Royce, I have no objection.
Reporter: Wouldn’t it be better that you were traveling in a lot smaller car, less pretentious?
Prabhupāda: Why, why? If you give me a Rolls Royce to travel, why shall I refuse it? It is my favor upon you, I accept this.
Reporter: Your Grace, would you tell us briefly how you founded the Hare Krishna in America.
Prabhupāda: Well, at least whole world is now chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. Wherever you go they chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.
