Morning Walk – Honolulu, January 16, 1974

Prabhupada: ...enjoy in Krsna consciousness. Don't forget Krsna. Then you are well. Nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe yuktam vairagyam ucyate [Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.255].

Such a nice park. If we hold saṅkirtana, people gather and enjoy distribution of prasadam, then it becomes very nice. And only to come here to find out sex facilities, then going to ruin. [aside:] Give me that. [japa] Very good park. [indistinct] [break] ...and for class of people, talking. This is required, philosophical talk, those who will understand. For mass of people kirtana is sufficient.

Bali-mardana: Kirtana and prasadam.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Bali-mardana: And then when you start to talk, they become fidgety. [laughter]

Sudama: Or they want to argue.

Prabhupada: Just like for children, you give them prasadam, all will gather together. You see? And if you talk before them of philosophy, what they will understand? [japa] [break] ...Rajneesh.

Bali-mardana: I think he's just doing exercises.

Prabhupada: Varieties of madmen. Kesava tuya jagata vicitra: "O My Lord Kesava, Your creation is full of varieties." [sound of man shouting "ha" in the background] The same Rajneesh process?

Bali-mardana: Yes.

Prabhupada: Hare Krsna. [break] ...Giriraja?

Bali-mardana: Well, ah, Tamala is going [indistinct]. [break]

Prabhupada: The vast ocean, how it looks beautiful. There is God's creation.

Bali-mardana: As far as I know, the only publicity that was made from Vrndavana was the letters sent to the temples.

Prabhupada: But they must have been preparing for that. Anyway... The scientist says hydrogen and oxygen is mixed into water. Who supplies so much hydrogen and oxygen?

Bali-mardana: Only God. Would you say that from God's vantage point everything that happens here is not very significant?

Prabhupada: Oh, there are many Sikhs.

Bali-mardana: Yes.

Prabhupada: Jai. So we shall return?

Bali-mardana: Yes. [break]

Prabhupada: Bombay also has beach. Not much cold, not much heat.

Bali-mardana: They now have an apartment for you in Juhu.

Prabhupada: Oh. That is our house.

Bali-mardana: I think it is. [break]

Prabhupada: ...that is the history there is no such action.

Devotee: There was one time on one of the other islands. It fell on someone, some child.

Bali-mardana: Sometimes during a storm it may be loosened.

Prabhupada: That is another thing.

Satsvarupa: Krsna lets them fall in such a way that people don't get hurt. [break]

Prabhupada: ...to grow fruit, eh? [break] ...I mean, if the fruit is green, it will never fall. Never fall. Therefore when the fruits are grown, green, take it down. But that they do not know.

Bali-mardana: I don't know if they do.

Prabhupada: Because they do not use coconut.

Sudama: No, they throw them away.

Bali-mardana: They are not intelligent.

Sudama: They don't know anything about dabs.

Bali-mardana: No?

Sudama: They think dabs is not good.

Bali-mardana: Is that what they say?

Sudama: Yes, karmis don't like the taste.

Prabhupada: The only good thing is meat, for them. Kadarya-bhaksana kare. Nana yoni brahman kare, kadarya-bhaksana kare

Do you understand?

Nitai: I do not follow.. I recognize khaya. Khaya means eating, eat.

Prabhupada: Eh? All abominable things. Not natural products. So, did you like that preparation?

Bali-mardana: Which one was that?

Prabhupada: Yesterday.

Bali-mardana: Oh, yes. It was very nice. You have taught them very well.

Prabhupada: When is Ekadasi?

Sudama: Saturday.

Prabhupada: Harer nama harer nama .

Bali-mardana: One thing I did not like was the bitter melon.

Prabhupada: Eh?

Bali-mardana: I did not like the bitter melon.

Prabhupada: You did not like?

Bali-mardana: It is too bitter.

Prabhupada: Oh, it was so nice. Eh?

Sudama: Do you like it, Prabhupada?

Prabhupada: Yes, yes. It is very beneficial for the stomach and kidney.

Bali-mardana: It's like medicine.

Prabhupada: Yes. Your wife also did not like?

Bali-mardana: Oh, she likes it.

Prabhupada: [laughing] Then it is all right. You are American fools, and she is Japanese. Japanese are very intelligent. Yes. Extraordinarily. They're just like Bengalis. Yes. Because mostly they eat fish. Fish is very good thing. It has got sufficient quantity of phosphorus. So brain becomes nice-for this crude work, not for fine, spiritual work.

Bali-mardana: No.

Sudama: Srila Prabhupada, yesterday I received a telephone call from Gopala, and he said that in a month...

Prabhupada: Gopala Krsna?

Sudama: Yes, Gopala Krsna Maharaja, in Tokyo.

Bali-mardana: No, Gopala Swami.

Sudama: Gopala Swami.

Prabhupada: Gopala Swami, yes.

Sudama: And he said that within a month the Society will be registered there in Japan. That the registration is finally coming to effect.

Satsvarupa: There was also a telegram from Bhurijana in Hong Kong.

Prabhupada: Ah.

Satsvarupa: And he's fully prepared for us to come, and he's hoping that we'll come.

Prabhupada: Oh, yes. Then prepare that. So by the twenty-eighth?

Satsvarupa: Yes, we'll inform him.

Prabhupada: Is that all right?

Sudama: Yes.

Prabhupada: We shall cross here or there?

Bali-mardana: The car is over here. [end]
