Allen Ginsberg: Will people still be chanting Hare Krishna in 400,000 years?
Srila Prabhupada: No. Hare Krishna will be finished within ten thousand years. There will be no more Hare Krishna.
Allen Ginsberg: Ah. So what will be left?
Srila Prabhupada: Nothing. I'll kill you and eat you, and you shall kill me. You shall eat me. That will be left.
Allen Ginsberg: After ten thousand years?
Srila Prabhupada: Yes, there will be no grain, no milk, no sugar, no fruit. So I will have to eat you, and you will have to eat me. Full facility for meat-eating. [Laughter.] Full facility. Krishna is very kind. He'll give you facility: "All right. Why cows and calves? You take your own son. Yes. Eat nicely." Just like serpents, snakes -- they eat their own offspring. Also tigers. So this will happen. And there will be no brain to understand [God], no preachers, nothing. And then Krishna will come: "All right, let Me kill you so that you will be saved."
