Prabhupāda: ...and actually for the benefit of the human society. They have no other desire.
Establishing centers and overcoming opposition
Hari-śauri: No, they can't stop this movement. It's not possible to stop this movement now. No, it is not possible. That I'm certain. It is advertising indirectly. [laughs] Hari-śauri: Will things get physically violent?
Well, the violence there may be. It doesn't matter. Hari-śauri: We should... If we have to, we can... Oh, yes. We must... Self-protection must be there.
Hari-śauri: Because now with these kidnappings it seems that we may have to... Fight! Hari-śauri: Then we'll have to fight. Oh, yes. Why not? Kill them. Hari-śauri: Yes.
If we don't get protection from the government, then what can we do? Oh, you must kill them. Tit for tat. As soon as we detect that "Here is a deprogrammer and kidnapper," kill him. Finish!
Hari-śauri: And if we go to court, then it's self-defense. Yes. At least give him some good lesson. Yes. Hari-śauri: Oh, yes. Definitely. That should be done.

Hari-śauri: ...train up some of our men so they know how to fight? Yes, why not? Hari-śauri: 'Cause we have men who know how to use guns.
Expanding global book distribution efforts
They practice a little. But on the whole, our devotees don't... They're not... They are not trained up. Hari-śauri: ...trained up to be able to defend themselves, and these people are professional guṇḍās. That...?
What is that? "Kirat?" They practice self-defense? Hari-śauri: Karate. Karate. Hari-śauri: There's different forms of self-defense.
