Morning Walk

Prabhupāda:

Devotee:
That was [indistinct].

Yaśomatīnandana:
Gradually they will start going around naked.

Prabhupāda:
No, they have already become. That is already advanced, to become naked. That rascal… What is his name?

Yaśomatīnandana:
Rajneesh.

Prabhupāda:
No, no. That guru, Beat…, Beatle.

Haṁsadūta:
Oh, I know.

Prabhupāda:
Lennon. Yes. He has kept a very big photo, naked, near his fireplace. [chuckles] I was talking with him in his house and saw the photograph. And he is not at all ashamed.

Yaśomatīnandana:
Because most of the gurus that he met, they enjoyed it.

Prabhupāda:
Long hairs, naked. [indistinct] What is his… Yogurt? No.

Haṁsadūta:
Yoko. Yoko, his wife.

Prabhupāda:

Directing, managing director.

Haṁsadūta:
Managing type, yes.

Prabhupāda:

Haṁsadūta:
No, George was always considered to be in the back, the background man.

Prabhupāda:
Last prentice. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. [Hindi]

Haṁsadūta:
George is also again smoking and drinking.

Prabhupāda:
Ācchā?

Haṁsadūta:
Because he always has to keep that kind of company in order to produce his records.

Prabhupāda:
No, no, he is very nice boy. I have studied. Very good boy, George. He showed me in Bombay. He came to see me in Bombay.

Haṁsadūta:
Just recently?

Prabhupāda:
No, last year.

Haṁsadūta:
Two years ago.

Prabhupāda:
He is keeping Jagannātha within his beadbag and chanting.

Haṁsadūta:
Just before I came to India, Mukunda met him for about two hours. He said he was very friendly, and he would arrange a ninety-nine-year lease for us and give us the right to the [indistinct].

Prabhupāda:
No, he’s always good boy. What is the time now?

Hari-śauri:
A quarter to eight.

Yaśomatīnandana:
Sun shines very late, the sun rises.

Prabhupāda:
Because it is in the west. The sun rises from the east, so from Calcutta to here there must be one hour difference. [end]
