Srila Prabhupada: These Britishers, they are so much envious. Therefore they will never admit that Bhagavad-gita was spoken five thousand years ago. They bring all within the Christian period. That is their rascaldom. Jayadvaita: We went to a college and gave a class last week where the professor was saying that the Bhagavad-gita is only two thousand years old, like that. Prabhupada: Yes. They will never accept it. (Los Angeles Conversation, December 2, 1973).
