It's pretty straight forward - he briefly mentioned an experience he had that was somewhat related to the topic, but didn't go into any more detail than was necessary. No need to try and poke and prod it.

She wasn't converting people at all, actually, she sort of kept it secret because she didn't want to get people's prejudice but she found subtle ways to cleanse other people. The person didn't need to know what "Hare Krishna" meant.

I know I'm going off on a tangent, but I can't stand people that confuse their hippy-isms with spirituality. eg. people who convert to Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. because they think those religions will make them "more enlightened." A monk in meditation is no more profound than a bible-thumper at mass or a professor in a lecture hall.
