India has good income from Arabian tourist

[someone chanting verses in Sanskrit]

Indian man: …khila gopa-kanya murari-padarpita- citta-vrttih.

Prabhupada: jaya.

Indian man:

Though desiring to sell milk, dahi, butter, etc., the mind of a young gopi was so absorbed in the lotus feet of Krsna that instead of calling out "Milk for sale" she bewilderedly said "Govinda! Damodara!", and "Madhava!"

Indian man: Bilva mahgala Thakura.

Prabhupada: Yes. Bilvamahgala.

Hamsadūta: ...to Bombay.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Hamsadūta: The roadway is always difficult. It's better if you travel by air. [break]

Prabhupada: They are dangerous road.

Basu Ghosh: The roads are not very good.

Hamsadūta: Tribhuvanatha is in Gujarat, is that right?

Basu Ghosh: Gujarat, right.

Hamsadūta: He's collecting to get the bus fixed. [break] Another one, a small one. [break] The day Your Divine Grace... [break] ...so much danger with these machines. Not a... [break] Motorcycle... [break] [indistinct fragments]

Basu Ghosh: It's very old. [break] Many Arabs are here in Hyderabad.

Prabhupada: Oh.

Rama-sraddha: They come here to get married. They marry local Muslims and go.

Basu Ghosh: They have so much money, but they only have a desert, so they have to come to India to try and enjoy. There's nothing to enjoy in Arabia, simply sand.

Prabhupada: Arabians come here, I know.

Basu Ghosh: In Bombay also, all the big hotels are filled with Arabians.

Prabhupada: Accha?

Devotee (1): This Taj and Oberoi, so many are there.

Prabhupada: India has good income from Arabian tourist.

Basu Ghosh: Yes. And they come back again and again to India.

Prabhupada: Accha?

Basu Ghosh: Even in Bahrain I met the brother of the ruler, and he said that he liked India the best of any place he had been. He had been all over the world.

Prabhupada: That's a fact.

Basu Ghosh: He said India was the best place. So I told him to stay in our hotel in Juhu next time he came. [break] [end]
