Togliatti Is A Special Place And Russia Is The Highest

"Togliatti is a special place. Uh so many members we have. Uh I think, I do not know if there are more than [in] Moscow or not, but they are such a lot for this place. Is very surprising [laughs]. [Laughs again.] Very uh surprising thing because people are working in a motor company and the living with such people and then you find them so spiritually strong.

Yuri Vasiliev [translates the mayor]: Uh why it is happening Śhrī Mātājī? What is Your opinion?

Śhrī Mātājī: Is something, I think the Volga River's mh uh meeting the sea or whatever it is, it's a very uh holy auspicious place.
......
Yuri Vasiliev [translates the mayor]: You may correct me later is [if] I am wrong. Uh because it is a very new town, very new city. In fact it is several years ago it was eleven thousands [11,000] of citizens only. But now it's seven hundred [thousand] people, Śhrī Mātājī. So, these people love this place, this town, or city now, is very much, Śhrī Mātājī.

Śhrī Mātājī: Yeah.

Yuri Vasiliev [translates the mayor]: It may be, maybe, from ... from the love of this.

Śhrī Mātājī: In the whole of Russia ...

Yuri Vasiliev: Yes.

Śhrī Mātājī: In the whole of Russia, uh uh I must say that -- of course Indians know what it is and all that, so we forget India -- but the highest are in Russia. In the whole world now there are sixty-five nations I've [I am] working, Russia is the highest.

Yuri Vasiliev [translates the mayor]: I believe it's a basically roots of, in spirituality of Russian people prima.

Śhrī Mātājī: They are very introspective by nature. They are very introspective. I have seen your writers and poets are all very introspective. And the clean heart, clean hearted. Simple hearted. They don't take to false people.

S... see, like in America they always take to false things. All gurus who went there were all false people, made lots of money. When I went there first time they asked Me ah how many Rolls-Royces I had. [Laughs.] I said, "I have none. I've only one car and that also belongs to My husband." So, there I [they] said, "Then You are not in the business?" I said, "No, there's no business." [Laughs.] So they were not interested in Me."
