Tripurari Swami recalls:
Srila Prabhupada asked, "So! What are they saying. What are their arguments for not buying our Krishna consciousness books."
Maharaja replied, "They're saying that we are parasites; that we are simply leaching off the society and not contributing anything to society."
Srila Prabhupada retorted, "So! you tell them: 'Stop giving!... But you can't!'"
Maharaja pondered, "That's all he said but it was very profound.The point was you say we are parasites, well then stop giving.
But someone else is supplying us. This sankirtan movement is going on not because you're supporting us, you're not benefiting us by participating.
The support is coming from above; Krishna is in the background. He's supplying, He's supporting."
