Akṣayānanda: Sometimes I think our big building is too much Westernized. Disturbs the atmosphere.

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Akṣayānanda: Like you wrote in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta that when Caitanya Mahāprabhu had many disciples behind him, He was criticized that He should not take them to Vṛndāvana; it might disturb the nice atmosphere. We have to be careful that we don’t disturb with our big buildings and things. [break]

Prabhupāda: …transform into a nice park this space. [break]

Akṣayānanda: ….Prabhupāda. Did Giridharilal see you last night, from the Mathurā Janmasthan? [break] …influence Dalmia, but I don’t know. We haven’t seen any results yet regarding the gośālā. [break]

Prabhupāda: …sandy. We want to avoid this sandy.

Harikeśa: We should go back up, then. [break]

Devotee: The people here say that this is the Raman Reti. This is the place, the most sacred spot where Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma would come.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. [break] …parrot. [loud squawking of birds] [break]

Harikeśa: …and went back to civilized life.

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. The big sir would look at us and we are in your shelter.]

*Indian man: [Transl. Mahārāja, I am little late. I wanted to come but I received a letter from Kapoor Saheb. It is ready and he sent me a copy of it. He said, find out the decision and let me know. He wrote me yesterday.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. First of all let me know what are the proposals.]

*Indian man: [Transl. That details I don’t know. He didn’t mention anything about that.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. Then how can I take any decision?]

*Indian man: [Transl. What I suggest you Mahārāja that you send a man there.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. I already sent.]

*Indian man: [Transl. Sent? Then I will just inform this to him.]

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

*Indian man: [Transl. Okay Mahārājajī. Then I will write him that Mahārājajī has sent someone…Who did you send Mahārāja?]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. That man from Kanpur, Mr. Chowdhury.]

*Indian man: [Transl. He wrote me that it will on reasonable terms.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. Yes, but what is that reasonable term?]

*Indian man: [Transl. That I didn’t ask.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. Only when I come to know the terms will I proceed.]

*Indian man: [Transl. You must have seen the land, no?]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. Yes, I have seen the place. I think there used to be a temple on that property long time ago.]

*Indian man: [Transl. I also can’t remember now. He wrote me that the land is sufficient, good space. That’s what he wrote me. The place is best, that I can tell. There is no doubt about it.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. But there is no proper road to go there.]

*Indian man: [Transl. You mean entry? I think there is a gate…I don’t go there much now. You must have gone that side many times Mahārāja. I also went there many times, but I can’t remember now.]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. I went there three, four times.]

*Indian man: [Transl. I also went there fout to six times, but I can’t remember. Anyway you have sent your man already?]

*Prabhupāda: [Transl. Yes.]

*Indian man: [Transl. Jaya Mahārāja.]

Harikeśa: Hare Kṛṣṇa! [end]
