Acyutananda: Bhagavad-gita's Battle of Kuruksetra fought, in which month?
Prabhupada: That I do not know. Why?

Prabhupada: The Ramakrishna Mission man came to see me. He said that "You dress like American. Otherwise, nobody will take you as important."
Acyutananda: Nikhilananda...
Prabhupada: "And I don't want to be important. I have no dress. If you pay for it, I can dress. I have no money. I know how to dress as a European. As business man, I was doing that. But not this shabby dress. You must give me four set of nice dress, (laughter) changing every alternate day. I know how to do it, but have no money." (end)
