Talk in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s house Brahma-saṁhitā Prayers
Prabhupāda: What is this maker, the trademark?
Gargamuni: Concord.
Prabhupāda: Concord, yes. Concord is famous tape record company.
[tapping microphone] It is all right?
Yamunā: Oh, yes, Swāmījī. It can also…, it can be an amplification system.
Gargamuni: See, if you talk… [feedback]
Yamunā: The thing is, they’re too close to one another so there’s a feedback. You have to be twelve feet away. Then it will amplify. That’s what we were using in all of our speaking engagements.
Gargamuni: Hare Kṛṣṇa. It’s like…, it’s an amplifier.
Devotee: Oh!
Prabhupāda: Oh, it acts as amplifier also?
Yamunā: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So I’ll have to speak from here?
Gargamuni: No.
Yamunā: You don’t have to… If all…, the two microphones weren’t so close, then it would be…, we wouldn’t have this noise, and you could speak as you like to speak.
[Pause]
Prabhupāda: So Gargamuni wants that prayer? Solo? Solo?
Gargamuni: Yes.
Prabhupāda: You also like that? [chuckles]
Yamunā: Oh. If it isn’t too much energy, Swāmījī, that would be very beautiful.
Prabhupāda: All right.
Gargamuni: Also, when you used to sing in New York, Vande ’Haṁ, you would add on Cintāmaṇi. Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ.
Prabhupāda: Yes, sometimes. You shall, I shall…? I shall pray that?
Gargamuni: Oh, yes. That’s nice, that one.
Yamunā: What does that mean, Swāmījī, that new prayer?
Prabhupāda: Cintāmaṇi… That is description of Kṛṣṇaloka.
Yamunā: From the Brahma-saṁhitā?
Gargamuni: Yes.
Prabhupāda: You have?
Yamunā: Yes, I have a copy of it.
Prabhupāda: Sit down? Why do you keep there?
Gargamuni: Well, because… So it’s not too loud.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
