Prabhupada: So? Six?
Tamala Krsna: Seven. Sometimes six. I think I better start coming at six again. Srila Prabhupada? Bhavananda Maharaja and Satadhanya Maharaja have come.
Prabhupada: What news?
Bhavananda: Everything is nice at Mayapur, Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: Give me little detail.
Bhavananda: The Show Cause, our Show Cause, has been submitted, and the hearing was set on the seventh, last Friday, but the ADM canceled it until next month on the 18th. And all of us who were involved in this shooting case, we also appeared in court on Friday, and the judge, magistrate, released us for traveling in India and preaching. Before that we had been restricted to Nadia district. We hadn't been allowed to leave Nadia. The magistrate said that we are free to travel within India for preaching work, which was good. And the next date has been set for the 29th of December, and on that date we'll most likely be discharged from the case.
Bhavananda: The case against us will be dropped, and case will be brought against the Muhammadans for attacking the temple.
Bhavananda: It's reversing.
Bhavananda: As soon as we were released, Srila Prabhupada, I immediately came here. I'm free to stay here with you. When we heard that your health had gotten worse and worse, I realized that I'm totally dependent upon you for my very life and soul, Srila Prabhupada. If you should leave, I don't... [break] ...then with a group of men, and in one week he distributed over five thousand books.
Bhavananda: And Ananda-svarupa is in Malda, and he in the last week distributed over four thousand books.
Bhavananda: They had their disappearance day of Thakura Haridasa. They distributed prasadam, and five thousand people came. We sent a party of men down.
Bhavananda: Now the flood waters have recessed. We're preparing for the planting, plowing. Everything has been flooded. Just now it's dry enough to plow for planting wheat. We planted 170 coconut trees. [pause]
Prabhupada: What is the attitude of our Godbrothers?
Bhavananda: Favorable and helpful.
Bhavananda: He was there two weeks back.
Bhavananda: Jayapataka Maharaja went over, but he wasn't... He was out that time. That Hrsikesa Maharaja in Caitanya Matha also was there. All favorable and helpful. That big nagara-saṅkirtana on Jhulana, Purnima, that was very successful. It healed a lot of misunderstandings between the temples.
Bhavananda: Oh, yes. [indistinct background discussion]
Prabhupada: Floodwater entered our new house? No.
Bhavananda: No. The lawn, the park in front of the temple, there was water. There were fish there, swimming.
Bhavananda: No. That was filled with fish. The water was not from the river as much as it was... It was from rainwater.
Bhavananda: No. Then it came over the road.
Bhavananda: It didn't enter into the temple. It entered up to the temple stairs.
Prabhupada: Which water?
Bhavananda: There was no... Because the river was high, so it rained so much... In June it rained for nineteen days without stopping. It had nowhere to drain, and every time it rained after that it kept building up, building up. The Gaṅga was just fifteen inches below Bhaktisiddhanta Road, fifteen inches from the top.
Bhavananda: Now there're eighty-six boys in the gurukula.
Bhavananda: We've thinned out.
Bhavananda: There's 160 including gurukula. After the incident we lost some devotees.
Prabhupada: How many?
Bhavananda: About twenty, twenty-five.
Bhavananda: The older gurukula boys now go out preaching with the vans, and they are becoming our biggest book distributors.
Bhavananda: The older boys, fourteen and fifteen, they're distributing 125, 130, 150 books a day.
Satadhanya: In Calcutta also we have men, three men, they go out on the street, and they may go to Park Street, and they set up a little stand, and they're distributing Bhagavat Darshan, Bhagavaner Kathas and the people are... Without even having to approach the people, the people come and they buy it from the stand. So it's also very successful.
Satadhanya: Yeah. They do about one hundred, 150 a day. Dalhousie, Park Street.
Satadhanya: Usually about one or two in different places. As far as Life Members, it used to be we had to go fight and make Life Members. Now they come to the temple and they pay their [Transl. two thousand two hundred twenty two] rupees and they say, "I want to be a member."
Satadhanya: Bengalis also. Mostly still Marwadi.
Prabhupada: Bengalis have no money. [laughter]
Bhavananda: Now that the flood waters have receded, in about three, four weeks it will be time to send the boat out again. Nice program. Tapomaya Prabhu will take charge of the boat. The boat is very popular. Up and down the Gaṅga from Calcutta to Mayapur everyone knows the Hare Krsna Nauka.
Bhavananda: Nauka is boat.
Bhavananda: Yes. Subhaga is here.
Tamala Krsna: Subhaga is here, Srila Prabhupada. He came to see you. This seems like... When Lord Caitanya was in Jagannatha Puri, Srila Prabhupada, the residents of Mayapur used to come to visit Him. Now all the residents of Mayapur are coming to visit you here in Vrndavana, your headquarters here.
Prabhupada: Gitar Gan [Transl. How many times has been published?]
Bhakti-caru: [Transl. Srila Prabhupada, Gitar Gana we have printed many times. One hundred thousand copies. We still have stock. We printed it about six months ago. We printed it at the time of Gaura Purnima. We still have about thirty thousand copies left. I think that will be finished in a few months. Then we will print again. Gitar Gan is very popular. Day by day it is becoming more popular in Bangladesh.]
Subhaga: [Transl. Especially from Bangladesh we receive so many letters. We have made some arrangement there. There is a gentleman named Govinda Banik who lives there. They write us, but it's a problem to send books. We told him to communicate with us. If he sends money, then we will send books from here without mentioning the name ISKCON so that the Government cannot create any problem about this. We receive so many letters from different Districts of Bangladesh. From Cittagang to south Bangladesh, Srihatta and other Districts. Even the Muhammadans write us letter for our Magazine. It is so popular. Those who come here to Mayapur from there, they tell us about all this. When Prabha-Visnu went there, they say that there was no place for people to sit. So many people came. There was no place. They came to hear his kirtana. Whatever books were send there for distribution, all were finished. That is a big field for us to preach in Bengali. There is no news paper or anything there. So with our Gitar Gan and Bhagavat-darsana magazine we can preach very nicely.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Are the Muhammadans arrested?]
Bhavananda: They're going to be arrested.
Subhaga: They're going to be arrested, Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: I have no thirst.
Prabhupada: The report is on the whole very good.
Bhavananda: Yes, Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: So for myself, I may live or not live. It doesn't matter.
Prabhupada: I don't want, but if there is force...
Prabhupada: I am living still.
Tamala Krsna: There's so much to be done, Srila Prabhupada. Your activities are not completed yet. We have to install the Deities in Bombay, you have to live in your palace in New Vrindavan, you have to show varnasrama, you have to complete the Bhagavatam, you have to live in a new house in Mayapur, and we have to at least make a good start to begin the big temple in Mayapur. Everything is still incomplete, what to speak of the fact that we are all very much neophyte still. We need you more than anything else. This movement has to last ten thousand years. We're not ready yet. We're still very much conditioned and contaminated. If you stay with us for another ten years at least, then there's chance that we can become purified more. And it's within your... It's within you to be able to do that. Krsna will allow you to do that.
Prabhupada: People are coming like before?
Prabhupada: Hmm?
Prabhupada: No, in Mayapur.
Bhavananda: Yes, Srila Prabhupada. Now the flood waters have recessed and the crowds are coming again. And winter season is coming up. Everything is back to normal.
Subhaga: And busloads of people are coming...
Bhavananda: Busloads. Especially from Behrampur.
Subhaga: Almost every week one or two busload of people coming, and they want us we should do program there. Two days ago one professor came and talking to Bhakti-caru Maharaja and Bhavananda Swami regarding that. And also from Calcutta and other places.
Bhavananda: Busloads of people, all respectable.
Subhaga: All classes of people.
Bhavananda: Everyone at Mayapur is expecting you to come for the winter season. The sweet sunshine in Mayapur in the winter is...
Subhaga: It's beautiful.
Bhavananda: ...the nicest, and the prasadam is the nicest. Everything is...
Prabhupada: Yes.
Bhavananda: That sweet sun.
Subhaga: Yes, so nice, Prabhupada.
Bhavananda: The women at Mayapur are busy making nimbu acar.
Subhaga: [Transl. One respectable lady is making Lemon pickle from 200/300 lemons. She is a nurse in the health care department and takes care of the devotees. One nurse.]
Prabhupada: Oh.
Bhavananda: One older Bengali lady, Mrs. Shaha, widow, very respectable lady, has come to stay. Very respectable, nice.
Bhavananda: She was a nurse, so she's taken charge of the dispensary, seeing to everyone's...
Bhavananda: Very high-class Bengali woman.
Subhaga: Every week. Once a week, Prabhupada.
Bhavananda: Allopathic.
Satadhanya: For general check-up.
Bhavananda: The flowers will be blooming, wintertime flowers, so many nice flowers, so many nice sabjis. But without Your Divine Grace's presence, Srila Prabhupada, it's not complete.
Prabhupada: But I know you. [devotees chuckle]
Subhaga: If you, Prabhupada, stay, you can give us so much encouragement, simply your very presence.
Tamala Krsna: I remember when we were in Mayapur last, Srila Prabhupada, before going to the Bombay pandal. Every morning we would take you upstairs, and you would sit in the sun, and Bhavananda Maharaja would massage you for two hours. Remember? You said you were getting your strength from that sun and the massage.
Tamala Krsna: Actually, Srila Prabhupada, the motive behind which we do everything is to please you. You must be present to accept whatever service... We are not very good servants, but whatever little we do, we do for you. Without you being present, we would lose our very reason for working hard and serving.
Prabhupada: [Transl. What is the news of the other Mathas?]
Prabhupada: [Transl. What is the news?]
Subhaga: [Transl. News? Usually what they do, they are doing. Sometimes they send a party of devotees for preaching. But they cannot do so much as you do. As you preach, they can't preach like that. Therefore, in the last Jhulana Yatra festival time they joined us in the celebration. And it was very nice. So if you stay then the preaching work will be more successful. Of this there is no doubt. I have seen this with my own eyes. I was personally serving the Maharajas prasada when they came. So it will be very good. There is no doubt about it.
So you please stay if you wish to stay. Damodara Maharaja also came. The devotees from all the other Mathas also participated in it. The sight was very beautiful. Last time during Mayapur festival when you sent me and Damodara Maharaja, Damodara Maharaja said it is bit too late now to invite everybody and make a grand saṅkirtana party. But this time it was so nice that I cannot describe it by words. Unless one sees one cannot understand. Had you been there, you would be very joyful.
Even we tried to bring Sridhara Maharaja by car, because he was very weak we could not bring him. Otherwise he would have come. It was very wonderful as all the Maharajas together participated in this festival. If you would have seen the devotees from all over the world and the devotees from here together performing kirtana, you would be very pleased. If you kindly come to Mayapur in the next Gaura Purnima festival, it would be a very ecstatic thing for us. May be we can again perform similar combined sankirtana performance like that.
We could not imagine that so many people from so many districts of West Bengal would come. About 20 to 25 thousand people participated in that program. But there is no doubt that at least 10 to 15 thousand people were served prasada. We could not think that so many people would come. People from almost all the districts of West Bengal came with different kirtana parties and performed. This is all by your mercy. From the different Gaudiya Mathas of Navadvipa. Even devotees from Devananda Gaudiya Matha who usually do not want to come, they also came.]
[break]
Prabhupada: Now you can go to your respective...
Prabhupada: Not now.
Prabhupada: Is it cloudy?
Prabhupada: Who is there?
Tamala Krsna: That's Upendra Prabhu. He's cleaning up your room for you. He's cleaning the floor nicely. He put fresh flowers. Somehow you have to be able to eat something, Srila Prabhupada. That's the... At least in my mind it's perplexing question which I don't know the answer to. In all of these events I have to face the reality I'm simply a completely bewildered fool. I can underst... I mean, I know you have to..., if you're to get better, you have to be able to eat something. I don't know what to suggest, though.
Prabhupada: You bring some milk. That's...
Upendra: Srila Prabhupada, I think that just as you gradually decreased your eating and drinking and became very weak, so you should increase gradually, very carefully. Yesterday you drank barley water and grape juice, and you didn't come down with a cough. So if you increase just a little barley water and mung water, then after a few days thin milk, maybe some Complan, and then gradually increase the resistance...
Prabhupada: So instead of water, barley water.
Prabhupada: In milk. Milk will give some strength.
Prabhupada: Milk or...
Prabhupada: Hmm.
Prabhupada: What do you think?
Prabhupada: No.
Tamala Krsna: So yesterday you took barley water and you didn't get mucus. So why not stick with that for a little while and get some more strength? See, if you get mucus now, because you don't have much strength, it will be difficult for you to cough. First of all, better to get more strength. Then we can take up drinking some things like milk, which might cause a little mucus, but then you'd have the strength to cough. Now we should not take any risk. Is that a fact? At least that's how I'm thinking. It may be better you drink some barley water. Do you mind drinking it?
Prabhupada: With little milk mixed up.
Prabhupada: Milk.
Prabhupada: There is sufficient weakness.
Prabhupada: Weakness.
Prabhupada: I want to sleep.
Prabhupada: Any part. [break]
Prabhupada: Let her make.
Prabhupada: Some vegetable preparation.
Hari-sauri: Yes. I know from personal experience that vegetable juice has very potent effect on the body. We had one boy who was almost crippled, but by following a very strict diet of vegetable juices he completely cleansed his body of disease, and he became very fit and strong. He was not eating anything solid.
Prabhupada: So where she is?
Prabhupada: Let her come here.
Prabhupada: [Transl. Is everything Okay?]
Saktimati: [Transl. I was in anxiety from a long time. I am here by your mercy.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Now only bones are left.]
Saktimati: [Transl. No bones. Everything will be alright. I prayed so much to mother Radharani-Mother! Are you not merciful to your devotee? You take my life, but you save Prabhupada. My life is of no use.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Let us see. Whatever you...]
Saktimati: [Transl. Prabhupadji, please allow me to render some service to you. Whatever Radharani orders me, I will cook and serve you. You please accept it. I cannot do anything. I have no intelligence. I have no Sakti or power. But my name is Saktimati. I don't know where to use my Sakti. O my mother Radharani, if I cannot save Prabhupadaji then where will I engage my Sakti? Prabhupadaji, I am yours. Please give me a chance to serve you.]
Prabhupada: So let her do something. To Saktimati: [Transl. So you do as you desire.]
Saktimati: [Transl. It's a great mercy of the Supreme Lord and also mercy of you. I only want our Prabhupadaji and nothing else. Nothing of this world is of any use to me. I cannot live without you.]
Saktimata: I will try same to small baby. You see, it doesn't matter. I will try to give Prabhupada something, something. Anything Prabhupada says, "Yes, this is I like," and that is suitable for the body, that we'll do.
Saktimata: That is I understand. I will use that ginger powder, little, and honey. That is very helpful. Also sometimes I will use that kesara [saffron]. That thing very useful. Also you can get camphor. You can use your throat always here and near the ear...
Saktimata: I understand. You hear me one thing. I am nothing, Prabhu. I am servant of Prabhupada. I am servant of the all devotees. Radharani, as She suggest me, I will cook. I am nothing. She order me. So She gave that prasadam to Prabhupada. I am nothing, Prabhu. Don't think, "Sakti will something." I am nothing, Prabhu. Radharani, She give Prabhupada as She like. I don't know. I haven't in my mind anything now also. If She say... I will first go to pray Radharani, "Radharani, You save Your servant. He is so great bhakta." I am beggar of Radha and Krsna. So He will hear me.
[break]
Prabhupada: Give her to prepare. I cannot take very thick. Only thin prepara...
Saktimata: Only liquid, water. I will start one drop, one spoon, then start increase and increase. How much depend to you. As you like, you accept, the body accept. That is my duty to do. As you like. I am your servant.
Prabhupada: Do it.
Prabhupada: So you wanted to change...
Prabhupada: You wanted to do something?
Prabhupada: No. You can do later.
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Are you okay?]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Only bones are left. This Hakeemji, what do you think of him?]
Dr. Kapoor: He came? Hakeemji came? Did Hakeemji come? Did the doctor come? Hakeemji?
Devotee: No.
Prabhupada: When he came? He did not come.
Dr. Kapoor: You want him?
Prabhupada: No, what do you think of him?
Dr. Kapoor: He's not very efficient. You should call some good doctor from Agra, from Mathura. Doctor Vyas of Mathura is good. He's a devotee also, Dr. Vyas. The son of late Dr. Vyas, Dr. G. N. Vyas. If you say, I can write to him. Hmm? I can write to him. Isn't there any doctor amongst the disciples of Prabhupada who can stay here for some time?
Giriraja: Well, there are doctors, but actually it's very difficult to find a doctor that the treatment is effective. So it's very difficult.
Dr. Kapoor: What I mean to say is that ask him to treat Prabhupada or not, but there should be some qualified doctor who stays here permanently for the purpose of checking him out from time to time, you see, because you are all laymen. If there is any complication, you don't understand it. So if there is doctor by his side always, he can check up and say, "This is so and so." You can call any other doctor afterwards and treat him. In the present condition of Prabhupada it is necessary that you always have some good medical advice available here. So it would be nice if you had one of the disciples of Prabhupada... There was one Dr. Batnagar, I think, who retired as civil surgeon of Mathura, who was here for some time I saw. If he can be help, you can call him, I think.
Giriraja: Dr. Batnagar?
Dr. Kapoor: I don't remember his name, but perhaps Dr. Batnagar. He's perhaps a disciple of Prabhupada. He at least stayed here for quite some time, and he told me that once he proposed that he would stay here permanently and treat the devotees.
Prabhupada: Sometimes they recommend hospitalization, and I don't like that.
Dr. Kapoor: No, that wouldn't be good for you. Because here you have all the facilities, and your mind at least is at peace. But in the hospital you will not find that peace. If you want a vaidya, an old vaidya, experienced one, I can bring Raj Vaidya Pandit Lakshmi-Narayan.
Prabhupada: Where he is?
Dr. Kapoor: He's here in Vrndavana. He was principal of Ayurvedic College in Jaipur. He's a very old man now, very senior man, retired. He's a good friend of mine. I think he would come.
Prabhupada: Where he is?
Prabhupada: He's practicing? No.
Dr. Kapoor: He's not practicing. He's doing bhajana. He's doing bhajana, but he's a very old, experienced hand, old, experienced person.
Prabhupada: Why not try? I have called that G.... You know G. Ghosh?
Dr. Kapoor: Who?
Prabhupada: Of Allahabad, G. Ghosh.
Dr. Kapoor: G. Ghosh? Is he a doctor? G. Ghosh. There was one Ghosh... He must be very old, isn't he?
Prabhupada: He is my age.
Dr. Kapoor: Your age. I know G. Ghosh. But would he come? Long distance and old man.
Prabhupada: But he is my old friend.
Dr. Kapoor: Friend. If he comes, well and good.
Prabhupada: He recommended when I was in Bombay, he would come to Bombay. And... That hospital?
Giriraja: Jaslok.
Prabhupada: In Jaslok hospital J. P. Narayan was admitted? Again he was sent to foreign country. This is the difficulty. They want up-to-date scientific treatment, which means taking blood, injection, operation, like that.
Dr. Kapoor: Yes, yes. No. You can't stand all that. [break] I think Raj Vaidya Pandit Lakshmi-Narayan. Let him examine. [Transl. He is very good at checking pulse.] The doctor wouldn't be able to say anything unless he checks of your blood and everything, you see, which is a very troublesome task. But old vaidya, he can feel the pulse and say what exactly is wrong.
Prabhupada: He can be brought now?
Dr. Kapoor: I can try.
Prabhupada: So give him...
Giriraja: I'll arrange a car.
Prabhupada: Yes. [break] ...strength even for sitting.
Dr. Kapoor: Oh. You should keep lying. Don't sit for long. [break]
Prabhupada: Today is also critical day?
Dr. Kapoor: Pandit Lakshmi-Narayan. He was principal of Ayurvedic College in Jaipur. He's retired man, now doing bhajana here. He's a very old and experienced person. So he will just see the pulse...
Prabhupada: Yes.
Dr. Kapoor: ...and say what exactly is wrong.
Prabhupada: So give him car.
Prabhupada: Any car.
Dr. Kapoor: So I'll go just now and try.
Upendra: And we... We'll wait for the bath?
Upendra: Yes, Prabhupada.
Dr. Kapoor: That's good.
Jayadvaita: His Divine Grace said this is the best medicine.
Dr. Kapoor: That certainly is the best medicine. You're having chanting often? I see. That is well. Not very loudly.
Prabhupada: [Transl. Dr. Kapoor: All of you forgive my offense.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. What did you say Prabhupada?]
Prabhupada: [Transl. When you are preaching you have to often argue and counter argue.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. That's true.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Therefore you all excuse my offense.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. What are you saying? Offense committed by you? No. Don't speak like that. What offense did you make? You only served Krsna.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. You are like my younger brother. I know you from the time when you were a student.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Yes.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. How old are you?]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. I am sixty-eight.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. About ten years younger than me.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Yes. You gave me so many tonics etc prepared by you. And by taking those I have become healthy. [laughs]]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Before your body was thin.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Yes, I was thin.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Your father was also thin.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Yes. My father was also thin.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. When did he expire?]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. About twenty-one years ago.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Mother is also no more.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. She is also gone.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Yes.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. I gave little ideas to these devotees about that. Hmm.] [break] Car?
Dr. Kapoor: He's arranging.
Prabhupada: [Transl. London…, in the meantime they took me to London.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. I know you went there. You had a minor operation there. After the operation I thought you felt better.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. That's Lord's will.]
Dr. Kapoor: [Transl. Perhaps your health will improve.] Good weather is approaching. [Winter is about to start.]
Prabhupada: [Transl. Let us see. You bring the Vaidya who is experienced. An experienced person is required.]
Dr. Kapoor: This man is very experienced.
Giriraja: Dr. Kapoor? The car is ready.
Dr. Kapoor: All right. Accha, Prabhupada, let me try, eh?
Prabhupada: Somebody may go with you.
Upendra: Can you take his hips and pull Prabhupada up a little bit? [break]
Prabhupada: So in the Iran, what do they supply?
Ramesvara: What do they supply?
Ramesvara: There are fruits and juices, very nice fruits and juices in Iran. And they also have nice vegetables and wheat. Wheat is their main grain.
Prabhupada: Wheat. Hmm?
Prabhupada: So wheat...
Ramesvara: They makes breads.
Prabhupada: No, no. They have got restaurant.
Ramesvara: Oh. In the restaurant there is chapatis, nice dal, two sabjis. Rice is a very favorite food of Persians, so rice is there, and some sweet, usually some pudding, some sweet rice, and some fruit juice and fruit. These things all come as part of the meal.
Prabhupada: They like it.
Ramesvara: Oh, yes. It is so crowded, there's no more room. In fact, they are looking for a bigger place.
Prabhupada: Hmm. Hmm. So everything is prepared by Nandarani?
Ramesvara: Nandarani and some other brahmanas, some men who are there at the temple. She is especially a good cook. And in the evenings they play Hare Krsna kirtana tapes, mostly Your Divine Grace. People very much like the atmosphere because of the music. In Islam there is a tradition of chanting God's names and other mantras or prayers, so they appreciate the chanting of Hare Krsna very much. When you enter the restaurant there is a big book table, so the first thing that one sees are japa beads and your books, and people buy the books from the table.
Prabhupada: English.
Ramesvara: One local man that joined us, very intelligent man.
Prabhupada: So they are looking after a bigger place?
Brahmananda: They're looking after a bigger place?
Ramesvara: Yes.
Prabhupada: Hmm. Very warm nowadays?
Ramesvara: During the day it is just like here-80, 85 degrees. In the early morning and in the evening sometimes a little chilly.
Prabhupada: At night snowfall?
Ramesvara: No.
Jayatirtha: Snow there starts around December. It starts to get snow in Tehran.
Prabhupada: Hmm. Why?
Ramesvara: Because he is becoming friendly with the royal family. Actually he goes every day to the palace. They send a chauffeured Mercedes to pick him up every day. He spends four or five hours every day talking to the royal family.
Prabhupada: It is great opportunity.
Jayatirtha: It's the wealthiest family in the world, much more wealthy than Rockefeller.
Prabhupada: He goes alone or with somebody else?
Prabhupada: And they are not making any chana preparation?
Prabhupada: Not chick peas...
Jayatirtha: Cheese.
Jayatirtha: Any vegetable?
Ramesvara: Sometimes they make one sabji with eggplant, tomatoes and fried cheese, very nice wet sabji. Actually that's one of the sabjis every day in the restaurant.
Prabhupada: Yes. Dr. Kapoor is waiting?
Sridhara: Yes.
Prabhupada: Give him some prasadam, Dr. Kapoor.
Prabhupada: Hmm? What is that?
Upendra: So the other doctor has come.
