Śrī Nārāyaṇa: But are you feeling better, Swamiji?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Little, little.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Little better.
Prabhupāda: (Hindi)
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Therefore always two attendants, and they are taking care. Otherwise personally I would not...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, please sit down. It's all right. It's here for you to sit, so you can...
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: I don't want you to talk loudly.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So you sit down.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You can sit here.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: I'm very glad to see you here. (Hindi) So, Tamāla Kṛṣṇa?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Who has got these films, you can...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. I'm going to arrange it with Akṣayānanda Mahārāja. The temple has everything here.
Prabhupāda: Call Akṣayānanda Mahārāja.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Just see our activities all over the world.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: South Africa. Is it not South Africa?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: (Hindi) Why don't you show them the South African report?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: (Hindi) ...slaughterhouse... (Hindi conversation)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is a temple that was built there. We have a big farm there as well as two temples. This is one of the temples.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Where in South Africa?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Near Durban.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Near Durban. Ācchā.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And they had fifteen thousand people attending at the Janmāṣṭamī celebration. Here you see some go-pūjā. (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Without culture they're suffering. If you want to mitigate their sufferings, give this Gītā culture. That is my experience. (Hindi) We have sold this Caitanya-caritāmṛta even in Russian countries.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Russian countries.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here are some of our African publications, Śrīla Prabhupāda, published in Swahili.
Prabhupāda: African, Chinese, Japanese.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: This is really humanitarian.
Rāma-Kṛṣṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: When I go for parikrama ?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Eight-thirty in the morning, generally. Then all of the participants can have darśana and we also have the darśana of the Deities at that time.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Deity also. (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: (Hindi) ...so we can influence whole world.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? We got report that the recent printing of the Bhagavad-gītā will be sold out by June. One million five hundred thousand copies will have been sold in about ten months' time. Fifteen lakhs were sold in ten months just in the United States.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Standing orders was..., I think it was three thousand standing orders.
Prabhupāda: Three thousand or five thousand... (Hindi) Three thousand eight hundred.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Three thousand at fifty rupees each.
Bhakti-caru: Eight hundred rupees a set times three thousand.
Prabhupāda: (Hindi) I increased my duration of life according to horoscope (Hindi) ...this feeble condition... (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here is Akṣayānanda Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Ah, Akṣayānanda Mahārāja...
Akṣayānanda: Yes, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: The film and... What happened to...?
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: (Hindi) I do not know. What, what happened to the Hindu...?
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: What is the latest about the Bombay temple (Hindi)?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We haven't heard anything in the last two or three months, Śrīla Prabhupāda. This telegram came from the former mayor-Ganatra? Rajiv Ganatra? He wrote, "Pray God to give you long life to spread Indian culture in every nook and corner of the universe."
Rāma-Kṛṣṇa: That is the feeling of all, everybody.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: That is Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyate (Hindi) Para-upakāra. This is the mission of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, para-upakāra. Especially those who have taken birth in India...
bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra
janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra
CC Adi 9.41
(Hindi) This is Indian culture, para-upakāra. Indian culture is not meant for exploiting others. Para-upakāra. That is human life, para-upakāra. And that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. Bhārata, especially... (Hindi—Indians leave for darśana; kavirāja and Bhakti-caru enter)
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The main thing we saw today, Prabhupāda passed more urine than ever before, and very clear-colored.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: The telephone is out of order. He was wondering...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whether we got the reservations?
Bhakti-caru: Yes.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What is that?
Bhakti-caru: Śrīla Prabhupāda shouldn't speak so much.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whew. Yes.
Prabhupāda: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Slowly but surely.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: He's saying it's impossible, that he had cough today, and tomorrow there is no sign of it. So these are all Śrīla Prabhupāda's pastimes, his own doings.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: In the morning you have to save the urine.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Which time? The latest possible one. 'Cause he passes urine sometimes two times in the morning.
Bhakti-caru: For last few days, at times he's passing at four o'clock and then again at about six o'clock.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So which one of those two?
Bhakti-caru: (Hindi) Where is the conference?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It will be in the Gurukula building at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. (Hindi) Śrīla Prabhupāda, you also ate a little bit of vegetable, and you said there was a little taste today. You can tell him. Some vegetable.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: (Hindi) 500 cc, urine.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The Ayurvedic science is very perfect. But the difficulty is that until now we could not find a doctor who understood the science.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What did he say?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: He said that the difficulty is to make the medicine. It takes time.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, that's...
Kavirāja: Kidney, it is special.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: It is for kidney, special.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whew. What is it made from? Śrīla Prabhupāda, Shastriji has made very nice medicine for you, very, very nice. What is that from?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Twenty-two ingredients.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Distilled. No one will take the time anymore these days. How is it given? How is this given?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Drink. One once, one dose.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whew. This is the science. This is real medicine. It took him seven, eight hours, twenty-two ingredients distilled. He has to distill the water first. Twenty-two ingredients.
Kavirāja: (Hindi) (Prabhupāda drinks medicine)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is for the kidneys?
Kavirāja: (Hindi) Vṛkka-sañjīvanī. (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: Vṛkka. V-ṛ-k-k-a. K idney. The Sanskrit name for kidney is vṛkka. Araka(?) means extract, and sañjīva ...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What does that mean? Extractive.
Bhakti-caru: Yes. Extract, to revitalize the kidney. No, our medicine for revitalizing the kidney.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, would you like a little soft kīrtana?
Prabhupāda: No. Now let me take rest.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Take rest. Okay, Śrīla Prabhupāda. (end)
