Though desiring to sell milk, dahi, butter, etc., the mind of a young gopī was so absorbed in the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa that instead of calling out “Milk for sale” she bewilderedly said “Govinda! Dāmodara!”, and “Mādhava!”

Haṁsadūta:
…to Bombay.

Prabhupāda:
Yes.

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

Prabhupāda:
They are dangerous road.

Basu Ghosh:
The roads are not very good.

Haṁsadūta:
Tribhuvanātha is in Gujarat, is that right?

Basu Ghosh:
Gujarat, right.

Haṁsadūta:
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.

Prabhupāda:
Oh.

Rāma-śraddhā:
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.

Prabhupāda:
Arabians come here, I know.

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

Prabhupāda:
Ācchā?

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

Prabhupāda:
India has good income from Arabian tourist.

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

Prabhupāda:
Ācchā?

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.

Prabhupāda:
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]
