I’ve always had the idea that Prabhupāda said, somewhere, that Indians have bhakti in their blood.

I found the reference today in a lecture.

bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra
janma sārthaka kari’ kara para-upakāra

[Cc. Ādi 9.41]

This is service. Especially it is ordered to the Indians, the inhabitants of the Bhārata-varṣa. Because in Bhārata-varṣa it is easier to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. Because by nature, because they have taken birth in this land of Bhārata-varṣa, in the blood there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Bhagavad-gita Bombay March 30, 1974
