Harikesh: The sinless people
will survive?
Prabhupada: Yes.
Devotee (3): Who is that?
Prabhupada: We. [break] There
was an artificial famine in India and I particularly inquired from all
devotees whether they have got any problem in this famine. They said,
"No, we haven't got." I have taken the statistics. In 1942 the
artificial famine created by government... So there were big earthquake
in Bihar. At that time one of my godbrother, he was government auditor.
So I inquired. In that earthquake only his house was saved. I have seen
it many times. Kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranashyati

samashrita ye pada-pallava-plavam

The first party who will drop the bomb on the other party, he will be victorious, and immediately the war will stop. They are simply arranging how to drop the atom bomb first. So one who will be able to drop the bomb first, he will be victorious. It doesn't require long time. Just like in Japan, as soon as the Americans dropped the atom bomb in Hiroshima, immediately they surrendered. This will be the result. Now the question is who will be able to drop the bomb first.
