[Transl. Yes, Verma.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Hmm. Did he want to come?]

Kṛṣṇa Dāsa Bābājī:
[Transl. Yes, He wants. Should I tell him? After two three days festival was over I thought let me go and see Mahārāja. He said you request Mahārāja that I will come and have his darśana. …District Magistrate’s Son. If you want to see him.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Anytime, I am lying here.]

Kṛṣṇa Dāsa Bābājī:
[Transl. The other day I came. You were sleeping. I told him after half an hour.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. For your darśana, this is Balarāmajī Miśra. Do you know him? He is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s…]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. I am Balarāma Miśra.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Yes.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Do you recognize me?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Yes.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Kavirāja is known to me from a long time.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Yes.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yesterday I happened to meet him. He said Mahārāja has called me, I will go and see him in the evening. So I said to him you are very fortunate. I thought I will also take a chance to meet you as we know each other from a long time when the Deities were not even installed.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Give him a chair.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes, I have got. So I thought let me go and see him.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. All of a sudden my health became like this. It was working alright. I don’t know what happened. Someone says that I have been given poison. May be.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. What? What are you saying?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Someone says that poison has been given.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. To whom?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. To me.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Who says?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. This is the tension.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Who has said that Śrīla Prabhupāda?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Somebody said.]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Kṛṣṇa dāsa?

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Who will give you poison? And why will he give you?]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Who said that Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda:
I don’t know, but it is said.

[indistinct whispered comments by devotees]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. You know Astrology I believe.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. He is asking you.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. You know Astrology right?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Me?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. He is not an Astrologer. He is a Priest.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. What?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. He is a Priest. He does not know Astrology. He knows Karma-Kāṇḍa.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. To Kavirāja: You know something about this. Not something, but you know about Astrology.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. I know little.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl.Śāstrijī knows Śrīla Prabhupāda.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Who told you that in your astrological chart you have a deadly period? Did some Astrologer tell you?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. What told you?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. To Prabhupāda: You were saying that your duration of life is ending. Did any Astrologer tell you this? [To Kavirāja: He had this in his Astrological calculation. [To Prabhupāda: But Śāstrijī is saying that is not true. [To Kavirāja: You said he will live for 10 more years.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Yes. What now?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl.Śāstrijī says you will stay with us 10 more years Śrīla Prabhupāda.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. You give up the consideration completely that there is no duration of life left in your astrological chart.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. The medicine you brought yesterday, was there any Triphalā in it?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. No.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Because I had to mix it with the medicine you gave for the eyes.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Give some fruits etc. to Balarāma Śāstri]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes, Yes. Prasāda. [Smiles] My father says…whenever he became ill or felt some distress, he would chant this śloka.]

Prabhupāda:
Hmm.

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. He would chant yā tvarā draupadī-trāṇe yā tvarā gaja mokṣaṇe mayy ārte karuṇā-sindhu sā tvarā kva gatā vibho. Yā tvarā, how will I explain it’s meaning to you? yā tvarā draupadī-trāṇe yā tvarā gaja mokṣaṇe mayy ārte karuṇā-sindhu sā tvarā kva gatā prabho. Mahārāja, You have got so many dedicated disciples and servants with you. They are always praying to the Lord for you so much. So why do you worry? When the Lord responded to Draupadī’s prayer, when He protected His devotee within the womb of his mother, so your devotees are praying, not only here but everywhere. I was in Calcutta, there also the devotees are praying for Prabhupāda. Then I thought when I go to Vṛṇdāvana, …because I have been coming here from a long time. At the time of installation they told me that you will become the ācārya or head priest for the ceremony, but there was some obstacle. By Lord’s grace you were able to recognize me. [Bell ringing, conchshell blowing, indistinct] But I must pray to the Lord. I will offer Tulasī leaves to Lord Nārāyaṇa and recite Viṣṇu Sahasranāma prayer. Since these things are mentioned in the śāstra… rogārtto mucyate rogād baddho mucyeta bandhanāt…]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Then do it.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Alright. Okay.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Mahārāja, this is simply a disturbance to the mind. What else?]

[indistinct whispered comments by Svarūpa Dāmodara.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Why then such injunctions are made. It is not a question of piety and impiety. It is the standard rule that needs to the followed.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. baddho mucyeta bandhanāt rogārtto mucyate rogād.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. bhayān mucyeta bhītastu mucyeta āpanna āpadaḥ* [Viṣṇu Sahasranāma, Phala Śruti verse 8] This is the complete verse from Viṣṇu Sahasranāma.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Does a devotee like him become afflicted by disease? Or a fruitive worker becomes afflicted? Actually such a devotee does not feel it but ordinary people become distressed by seeing it. This is very surprising.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Then do something here.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Alright.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. If you order, it must be done.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Viṣṇu Sahasranāma.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Okay.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. rogārtto mucyate rogād. Yesterday I went to his house also.]

Prabhupāda:
Hmm.

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Adjacent to his house there is a temple of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. The temple looks distorted. One portion of it, one part of it is damaged. It is a very old temple.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. From Navadvīpa, there is a book on the life of the Vaiṣṇavas. In every part of that book this Deity is mentioned. The famous siddha Kṛṣṇadāsa Bābājī Mahārāja who lived in Rādhā-kuṇḍa brought that Deity and installed in Rādhā-kuṇḍa. The Deity looked like gold. The name of the Deity was Sonāra Gaurāṅga or Golden Gaurāṅga. After seeing that Deity, some dacoits tried to steal Him. They thought the golden Deity is so beautiful and they must take Him away. So as they packed the Deity and started leaving, by the wonderful arrangement of the Lord, suddenly they hit something with their legs and that created some sound. As a result, everyone woke up and saw the decoits. They chased them, but the decoits left the Deity and ran away. After that it was decided that the Deity should be brought to Vṛṇdāvana and worship there. That same ancient Deity is in Vṛṇdāvana now. The condition is such …the temple is almost ruined.]

Prabhupāda:
Hnn.

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. If something is not done, it will fall apart. Much of it has already fallen. Such an ancient ….if not renovated it will be gone. It is a famous temple of Mahāprabhu from many generations. Mahārāja, if you can do something to protect this temple. This will be a great favor. I thought I will meet you and tell about the temple condition. If you can help renovate such a temple it will be a great benevolent work. To help renovate such a temple at this point will be very much beneficial to you. Moreover such an act will be very auspicious for you from all sides.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. How much will it cost?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. What?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. What is the cost?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. You send a man and he will find it out. If you send somebody, if you want it … if you just order, they will take care of it. So many big buildings are constructed. This is only a small temple.]

[Prabhupāda coughing]

[indistinct whispered comments in background by devotees: “It’s not the time to discuss building temples.” Balaram Mishra is asking for financial help to repair a Caitanya Mahāprabhu temple.]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
[Whispers] Tell him he can talk to the secretary.

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Approximately how much?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes Sir.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. How much approximately?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Why don’t you tell someone to go and see it.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Everyone is busy. You have to say how much it will take?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl.[indistinct] Somehow Mahāprabhu’s worship is going on …]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Just approximately.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. What can I say?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. It is your work. You should know. You must be having some idea.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Mahāhāraj, whoever I talked to about the estimate, it is difficult to get it. It depends….you understand? But one thing I can say that if this work is done it will be a great thing, otherwise it is not possible.]

[devotees are talking in whispers in background in disapproval. “Can’t you stop him from talking?”]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Then you give your approval.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Śrīla Prabhupāda, your health is not good. Now you are, couldn’t you discuss this later? There is Bhaktivedanta Charity Trust also, he can discuss with them Śrīla Prabhupāda.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Alright.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. I am just inquiring. He is saying so many things but not…..]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. You are speaking so much but you cann’t say approximately how much it will cost?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. I cannot guess exactly how much it will cost. So how can I say?]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. He is not able to give an estimate Śrīla Prabhupāda.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Let me see your tongue Mahārāja. Your tongue little. Okay. Tomorrow morning I need some raw turmeric. I tried here so much]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Did you get it?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. No. I phoned Bhagatjī. If he gets it will be nice.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. If it is available here then it is alright, otherwise Adridharaṇa will bring it.]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda:
Hmm.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
We got some news of some preaching. I was wondering what was a good time to read to you.

Prabhupāda:
Where?

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. What do you think of him today?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. His health is Okay.]

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl. Oh, Okay Śrīla Prabhupāda, should I go now and bring some Horlicks for you? [whispers], I bring some Horlicks. Kavirāja: Little, this much. Should I remove the pot for urine, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Are you done?]

Prabhupāda:
Hnn.

Bhakti-cāru:
[Transl.Śrīla Prabhupāda, will you pass urine? It is here. Should I remove from here?]

Prabhupāda:
Hnn.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Like to hear it, Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda:
Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Or should I… I could come later on if you think it’s better.

Prabhupāda:
No. [break]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Pick up this bottle from here.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. First you give an estimate then we will go.]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
What did he say?

Śatadhanya:
He said give him the estimate and he will decide.

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. [indistinct] And you want to offer Tulasī to Nārāyaṇa, that you do in the temple.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Tulasī to Nārāyaṇa.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. He will do Mahārāja.] [pause]

Prabhupāda:
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Yes, Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda:
Give Śāstrijī ten rupees.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Give this gentleman?

Prabhupāda:
Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Ten rupees. Okay.

Prabhupāda:
And some fruits.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Uncut.

Prabhupāda:
Uncut, yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Okay.

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. So I am not needed anymore Mahārāja. I have got some duty to perform. You get well, I will get so much.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. You are a Śāstri.]

[Everyone smiles]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. You bless me. That is a lot.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Your honor…]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. No honor, you have said this word, that is sufficient for me. I am not bragging. Bless me. I want that you again…]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. That you will want.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. The Lord will accept service from you…]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. I also have a duty.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Mahārāja, How did you say today that somebody told you that you have been poisoned? Did you get any hint?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Not like that, someone said this happens when it is given. May be it is written in some book.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Doesn’t happen just by saying. It happens by raw mercury, it happens by some other things. But who will do such a thing to you? I think if anyone would think of such a thing about a godly personality like you, he is a demon.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. [Whispers] Offering 180 Tulasī …..in the month of Kārtik…worshiping the Supreme Lord Nārāyaṇa.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Have darśana Mahārāja.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. So, what we have to do for that?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. That I will take care. You don’t have to do anything. I will chant Sahasranāma and offer tulasī leaves desiring your long life. I have golden Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa Deities. They will also be installed.]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
I’ll give him the fruits now, Śrīla Prabhupāda? I have some fruits. I can give him now?

Prabhupāda:
Hmm.

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Mahārāja, they have given me prasāda by your order.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Bless.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. It is my duty to pray for your protection.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. You bless me.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. What?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Your blessings.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes, Certainly. That is my pleasure.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. I have not caused any harm to anyone.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. No, No. Nothing will happen. Who said? You have done such a great work, Mahārāja, that is indescribable. People become astonished to see such a great work you have done. Wherever I go I hear about your glories. That is why I wish whatever illness you have, may I be able to relieve you from that. Everything will be done.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. In Bombay.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes, Mahārāja.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. We are going to open a temple.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. When?]

Svarūpa Dāmodara:
[Transl. In the month of January.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Will you go there?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. If I go, what will I have to do? Installation?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Yes.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. I will go.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. How much will it cost?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. As you want to do. I have nothing to say. Deity installation, that is not a big deal. As you arrange I will do. I don’t ask anything. Whatever one gives me I accept it. It’s a honor to perform such a ceremony. Whatever I am destined I will get it. You told me before also but I did not keep your words. It is a question of faith. I will try my best to do.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. How many brāhmaṇas will go?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. As it will be arranged. Five person, seven persons, it is very far no? To take more people will be …]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. As you order it will be done. Please speak less.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Keep his address. Hmm. Hmm.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Oṁ Viṣṇu. So Mahārāja, I take your leave now. Tomorrow I will see you again. Whispers, tomorrow Morning.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. This your….please come here. Will you do that at home?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Yes. The Deities are there, Nārāyaṇa Śālagrāma is there.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. If you desire I can have him do it here. What is there?]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. What if you come and do it here?]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Come and do it here.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. If I do it here there will be quarrel.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. What?]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Not possible here.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. It is better if you do it here.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Whatever you order.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa are here, you can offer Them.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Nārāyaṇa Deities are there. They have to be bathed and installed. Then one thousand tulasī leaves will be offered.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. If you do it here we will bear all the expenses.]

Balarāma Miśra:
[Transl. Don’t worry about that. Leave it. I will do it as my duty. As a Brajavāsī you have done so much in the whole world. So I also have a duty. You are doing so much. See you later.]

Prabhupāda:
[Transl. If the pūjā is performed here, you will make all arrangements.]

Kavirāja:
[Transl. Alright Śrīla Prabhupāda.]

[indistinct comments by devotees in background]

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
What did Prabhupāda say?

Svarūpa Dāmodara:
Prabhupāda wants to do here. He’s going to…

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Is he going to do it here? [referring to the offering of one thousand tulasī leaves to Lord Nārāyaṇa for Prabhupāda’s recovery]

Svarūpa Dāmodara:
Prabhupāda’s requesting here. He said it’s better if we do it here. So he said, “Make all the arrangements necessary.”

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
He wants to bring the brāhmaṇas to inaugurate the Bombay temple, Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda:
That we shall consider later.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
’Cause we already told these South Indian brāhmaṇas to come.

Prabhupāda:
Some of them may go also.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Do you know this man from a long time ago?

Prabhupāda:
Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
He wants some money for some temple?

Prabhupāda:
Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
Here in Vṛndāvana.

Prabhupāda:
Hmm. Now stop talking.

[long pause] [break] You have given him ten rupees?

Svarūpa Dāmodara:
Ah, Prabhupāda. To that brāhmaṇa?

Girirāja:
Yes. He gave ten rupees.

Svarūpa Dāmodara:
Tamāla gave ten rupees?

Girirāja:
Yes. Śrīla Prabhupāda? Would you like soft kīrtana now, or quiet?

Prabhupāda:
You were reading something?

Svarūpa Dāmodara:
No.

Upendra:
He’s talking to Tamāla.

Girirāja:
Oh, Tamāla Kṛṣṇa. He’s… [break] Yesterday I spent the day in Delhi, and I opened an account with the Punjab Bank in the name of Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust. And we also gave them a letter that the interest from the ten lakhs sixty thousand should go into that Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity account. And I took the original trust of the new trust, the original deed, and I made some photocopies and got them notarized by notary.

Prabhupāda:
Photocopy of?

Girirāja:
Of the trust deed forming the Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust. And then I bought a copy of the income tax act, because there’s some provision that if funds are used to restore some ancient place of worship or some place of worship which is famous in a particular state, then that is exempt from income tax. So I think that this fits in with the aims and objects of this new trust. So we should be able to get tax exemption for that. Then I spoke to Bombay to see how things were doing, and Gopāla Kṛṣṇa said that everything is going nice, and he’s coming here on Friday, after two days. So I told him that your condition was very serious and that I wanted to stay here for a little longer. So he said that was okay. I confirmed with Yaśodānandana Swami’s assistant that he sent the letter to the South Indian brāhmaṇas to confirm that they can come on the dates which we have fixed. So we’re waiting to hear that reply.

Prabhupāda:
You can take some brāhmaṇa from here. Balarāma…

Girirāja:
Yes.

Prabhupāda:
They’ll chant Veda-mantra very nice.

Girirāja:
Uh-huh. We can have these brāhmaṇas and also the South Indian brāhmaṇas. [break] [end]
