"Most of the Western country, they are Christian. So the Christiansbelieve in ...Lord Jesus Christ as son of God. But we are presentingthe father, God Himself. So there is no contradiction. If there isson, there must be a father also. Without father, there cannot be son.So if you believe in the son, then you must believe in the fatheralso. The father is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, [Bg.14.44] He is the seed-giving father for all living entities. So Kṛṣṇais for everyone.Don't think that Kṛṣṇa, as it is stated in your English dictionary,"Kṛṣṇa is a Hindu God." He's not Hindu, He's not Muslim, or He's notChristian. He's God. God is neither Hindu nor Muslim nor Christian. Itis bodily designations, "I am Hindu, you are Christian." This isbodily... Just like dress. You have got some black coat. Another hasgot some white coat. That does not meant we are different because weare in different coat or shirt. As human being, we are all sons ofGod. We are one. That is the conception. So at the present moment, wehave divided the world on account of this shirt and coat. That is not.That is not good. Actually, the whole world or the whole universebelongs to God. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness "Srila Prabhupada: Hare Krishna Festival Address -- San Diego, July 1,1972, At Balboa Park Bowl
