Srila Prabhupada chastises Ganesha Dasa
Amogha: During the morning walks we would sometimes play the role of materialists. Then some time passed, and Ganesh prabhu asked a question, but it wasn't clear that he was posing as a materialist. He said, "Srila Prabhupada, is the Bhagavad-gita 5,000 years old?" Prabhupada said, "What? The Bhagavad-gita is not 5,000 years old. Have you read Bhagavad-gita?" Ganesh said, "Yes, a little." Prabhupada responded, "You are a student of Bhagavad-gita and you think it was written 5,000 years ago? You should know that the Bhagavad-gita was first spoken millions of years ago . . ." Ganesh was getting heavily chastised, and I said, "Maybe Ganesh was posing as a materialist, Prabhupada." Prabhupada said, "Even so, one should know Bhagavad-gita was not written 5,000 years ago."
