Srila Prabhupada smashes Bhakti caru Swami's request to learn Sanskrit

Bhakti Caru Swami : Once I told Srila Prabhupada, "I'd like to learn Sanskrit." Prabhupada asked me, "Why? What's the use?" I gave him different reasons, and Prabhupada smashed all of them. Finally he said, "Our business is not to become a Sanskrit scholar. There are so many Sanskrit scholars, but what are they doing? Our main business is to preach Krishna consciousness all over the world. With whatever ability, whatever qualifications we have, we should try to preach Krishna consciousness."
