Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ [SB 11.5.32].
[In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṅa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṅa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.]

Asura-kula-nāśana: Oh, karmīs. [laughter]
Prabhupāda: No, not only karmīs; others also. So-called scientist.
Devotees: Jaya! Haribol!
Prabhupāda: Māyayāpahṛta-jñānā [Bg 7.15].
[Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons, do not surrender unto Me.]
Anyone who is posing himself as very much advanced in education but has no knowledge in Kṛṣṅa, he is also a demon.
Devotees: Jaya!
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Who is not a devotee of Kṛṣṅa...
Prabhupāda: Hah?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: ...he's a demon.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Demon means he is not a devotee. That is demon. There are two kinds of persons: one demon, and one demigod. Those who are devotees, they are demigods, and those who are not devotees, they are demons.
dvau bhūta-sargau loke asura…, daiva āsura eva ca viṣṅu-bhakti-bhaved daiva āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ [Bg 16.6]
[O son of Pṛthā, in this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine and the other demonic. I have already explained to you at length the divine qualities. Now hear from Me of the demoniac.]
Asura. Asura means just the opposite number of devotees. That’s all. This is the general definition of demons: opposite number. So anyone who is against Kṛṣṅa consciousness, he is a demon. That’s all. This is general. Come on. What are the rules and regulation?
Leslie: No meat-eating, no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling.
Brahmānanda: Tārakā dāsī.

Terry: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Come on. What is it?
Brahmānanda: Tejomāya.
Prabhupāda: Tejomāya. Who is Tejomāya? You know? Who is Tejomāya? You know? Tejomāya, we have explained: the sun. Sun is Tejomāya. Aśeṣa-tejāḥ. Sun. Tejomāya. Nobody can compare with his temperature. [devotees chant japa]
Prabhupāda: Who is next?

Prabhupāda: Thank you.
Brahmānanda: Kāla-rūpa.
Prabhupāda: Kāla-rūpa. Vicious. When Kṛṣṅa appears in the Battle of Kurukṣetra, virāṭ-rūpa, he inquired to Arjuna, "Who are You?" He said, "Kāla-rūpa." Kāla-rūpa means, "I have come…, I have appeared to kill all these demons." Hare Kṛṣṅa. Now chant. [japa] You know the rules and regulation?
Kālacandra: No illicit sex life, no meat-eating, no intoxication and no gambling.

Prabhupāda: What are these?
Brahmānanda: He said cigarette.
Prabhupāda: Tea also. Yes. Tea, coffee—all these are intoxicants. So?
Brahmānanda: Kālacandra.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Kālacandra. Come on. Hare Kṛṣṅa. Kālacandra dāsa. You are Gauracandra, but you are servant of Kālacandra. Kālacandra is another name of Kṛṣṅa. So thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṅa.
Devotees: Jaya! Haribol! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. [end]
