Morning Walk, [partially recorded] – March 5, 1974, Māyāpur

Prabhupada: ...no woman can...

[break] So I took it very a cheap price.

There was no question of woman. I kept my office there. And the address was Multani temple. This is a famous temple, from [indistinct], Grant Road. And in my retired life my office was there, Radha-Krsna temple, and Delhi, Chippiwada. And my residence was Radha-Damodara temple. And before that, that Kesi Ghata. Who has seen that? You have...?

Devotee: Oh, yes.

Prabhupada: That was also temple. Yes.

Atreya Rsi: Krsna has arranged.

Indian devotee (2): Very nice side, Prabhupada, there.

Prabhupada: I lived in that house for seven years. And then I came to Radha-Damodara temple.

Devotee: Very nice there.

Prabhupada: Huh? Which way? [break] ...stayed in that Radha-Krsna temple, Malliks. And still I am living in temple. So Krsna has arranged nicely, from the beginning of my life, temple. Which way? This way? [break] Medha. This is called medha, this rod, central. So the, the bull is bound up with it, and he goes round, goes round, all day. So grhamedhi means center is home, and he goes round, throughout the whole life. They are called grhamedhis.

Hrdayananda: This is called medha.

Prabhupada: Medha, yes. Another medha means killing. So one who keeps himself in household life, he kills himself. Killing. Grhamedhi. And that is little long-term meaning. But this is the direct meaning. The medha rod is there, and he simply... He's very busy. Busy means within few feet. But he's thinking he's very busy. Anyone got..., he has got home, and he's simply rounding about. Anywhere you go, the center is that. And what is that grha? [aside:] Where? Which way?

Bhavananda: This way, Srila Prabhupada.

Devotees: Jaya.

Prabhupada: Na grham grham ucyate.

[break] ...explain. It is not my manufacture. What is said? Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi...

[break] ...tuccham. The grhamedhi's happiness, what is that happiness? Maithunadi: sex. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham. Grhamedhi-sukham [SB 7.9.45]. Those who are grhamedhis, what is their happiness? Sex, that's all. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham. And what is that sex? Kanḍūyanena karayor iva duḥkha-duḥkham. It is itching between the two hands. Kanḍūyanena kara. But the..., after that itching, there is very bad effect. Kanḍūyanena karayor iva duḥkha-duḥkham-that is unhappiness. Therefore trpyanti neha krpana bahu-duḥkha-bhajaḥ [SB 7.9.45]. Those who are krpana, they are not satisfied. They want to do it... [break] [end]
