Srila Prabhupada spoke with Top Directors of Dia Nippon

Gargamuni: At Tokyo in April 1972, Srila Prabhupada spoke with Top Directors of Dia Nippon. To Srila Prabhupada's right is his servant Nanda Kumar and to his left is Karandhara, who was one of the best managers at that time. Srila Prabhupada challenges the Top Directors of Dia Nippon; they were the topmost printing company in the world at that time and they were printing Srila Prabhupada's books. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu challenged the Kazi, Srila Prabhupada challenged them.

Prabhupada: I challenged him, "You are Buddhist." "Yes." "You are eating meat?" "Yes." "What is this?" [laughs] That was my first talking with him.

Sudama: They were wanting to talk business for a long time. You were simply preaching to them.

Prabhupada: Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to the Kazi. His first question was that, "What kind of religion you are following, you are killing your father and mother?" This was His beginning of the talk. "What kind of religion it is?" "How is that? I am killing my father, mother?" "Yes, cow is your mother and bull is your father. You are killing them. The bull is giving you grains by working in the field, and the mother is giving you milk, and you are killing them." [Morning Walk February 4, 1976, Mayapur]

The Directors had absolute respect for Srila Prabhupada as a genuine saintly person and gave him huge credit facility simply based on his word of paying later - a policy they never gave to any other customer.
