Tamala Krsna: ...days till you get a little more strength. I mean this is a very good sign Srila Prabhupada. You've taken a half a kilo of milk. No mucus, no stool. If you get a few days of strength... I mean I have no objection even tomorrow to take you. I just would like to hear what the kaviraja... I really have a little faith in him. I mean I have all faith on you, Srila Prabhupada. I have only a little faith in him, but I don't want to reject his advice as a doctor. This kaviraja is giving sound advice so far.
Prabhupada: Where he is?
Tamala Krsna: We're just trying to get him here. He went out again to get some more medicine for you. He says now that he's seen that you took this half kilo of milk he's going to start to give a medicine that will make this milk make muscles on your body, because all the muscles have become finished, slackened. So he wants to do that so that you'll then have strength. Parikramming the temple is not so bad. Let's just see what he says. It's certainly not that difficult. The main thing is, you have to be able to sit up for some time. (aside:) Prabhupada wants to become enlivened spiritually, you know, by some spiritual activity. (to Prabhupada:) We'll ask the kaviraja if he thinks we can take you tomorrow for a short parikrama around the temple, Srila Prabhupada.
Indian devotee: He just got on the phone. I just talked with him.
Tamala Krsna: He's coming back? I couldn't believe that... I felt so bad, seeing him tonight. He was sitting, Srila Prabhupada, on the fountain steps, completely dejected. Couldn't understand why. He just was so, so disappointed and unhappy.
Prabhupada: (Bengali)
Tamala Krsna: Srila Prabhupada, the way you deal with us simply deepens our attachment every moment.
Prabhupada: It is my duty. (laughter) There was a professor in Scottish Churches' College. So when you would say something, he would reply, "That's my duty," "juti," j-u-t-i. (chuckles) So there was a student. He said... So he said, "Is that Scottish pronunciation?" [break]
Prabhupada: Pass urine.
Prabhupada: ...properly fixed up?
Bhavananda: Yes, Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: Hm. All right.
Bhavananda: Finished, Srila Prabhupada?
Prabhupada: Hm.
Prabhupada: (Bengali)
Prabhupada: Yes. I want little...
Prabhupada: My...
Jayapataka: "My" must mean massage.
Prabhupada: On the corner of the waist.
Prabhupada: No, left side.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Brisk.
Upendra: On the back.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Jayapataka: Is this mattress hard for you, Srila Prabhupada?
Prabhupada: No. It becomes harder.
Prabhupada: Um hm.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Bon Maharaja came actually, but he did not come here.
Tamala Krsna: How we can give a fixed time? Actually it's better you get a little bit stronger before receiving guests, Srila Prabhupada. If you see him you will be doing a lot of preaching and talking. He's still here in Vrndavana, Bon Maharaja?
Prabhupada: (Bengali)
Prabhupada: Time?
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: So day after tomorrow.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: Ask Babaji Maharaja.
Prabhupada: (Bengali)
Tamala Krsna: Srila Prabhupada? They will take prasadam here? Bhakti-caru Maharaja cooks very, very first class Bengali prasadam.
Bhavananda: Very best.
Prabhupada: (Bengali)
Prabhupada: So you'll stay there.
Prabhupada: And they will send car.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Prabhupada: (Bengali)
Tamala Krsna: (aside:) He's going now? So we will take him back. You arrange. He'll come. Anudesa, you arrange for the car also. Help Bhakti-caru. Is this giving you a little relief, Srila Prabhupada?
Prabhupada: Yes. Yes.
Prabhupada: Soda water?
Prabhupada: The soda-water sound.
Bhavananda: Soda water?
Prabhupada: You don't hear the sound of soda water.
Bhavananda: Yes, I do. Oh, that's the water bucket.
Tamala Krsna: Some water was boiling, Srila Prabhupada. That was the sound of boiling water. In America people always keep the teapot boiling. So similarly, here, Upendra, he always keeps a pot of water boiling, Srila Prabhupada. He is always ready to serve you with warm water. Whenever you need warm water... So that's one of the things. Always there is some water boiling here. You must be very tired today, Srila Prabhupada. You've done a great deal of talking. [break] (Hindi with kaviraja)
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: He's saying that Prabhupada's pulse is ninety, which is normal, and he gave three other medicines for Prabhupada's heart. That missing beat that Prabhupada was havingthat's no more there.
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Prabhupada: Hm? What is that?
Prabhupada: Huh?
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: (Bengali) He is telling that he's requesting repeatedly that Prabhupada doesn't talk too much. He says that the energy that he's building, the moment he starts talking, he loses that energy.
Prabhupada: No, how to say all right?
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: Shastriji's saying that he's seen lakhs of patients, but he hasn't seen a body like Srila Prabhupada's. In one moment it is very critical, and the next moment it's in perfect order. And he is now absolutely confident that Prabhupada is going to get well.
Jagadisa: He is or isn't?
Bhakti-caru: And he's just requesting Srila Prabhupada that he keeps on taking the milk and the fruit juice and the medicine.
