Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...days till you get a little more strength. I mean this is a very good sign Śrīla Prabhupāda. You've taken a half a kilo of milk. No mucus, no stool. If you get a few days of strength... I mean I have no objection even tomorrow to take you. I just would like to hear what the kavirāja ... I really have a little faith in him. I mean I have all faith on you, Śrīla Prabhupāda. I have only a little faith in him, but I don't want to reject his advice as a doctor. This kavirāja is giving sound advice so far.
Prabhupāda: Where he is?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We're just trying to get him here. He went out again to get some more medicine for you. He says now that he's seen that you took this half kilo of milk he's going to start to give a medicine that will make this milk make muscles on your body, because all the muscles have become finished, slackened. So he wants to do that so that you'll then have strength. Parikramming the temple is not so bad. Let's just see what he says. It's certainly not that difficult. The main thing is, you have to be able to sit up for some time. (aside:) Prabhupāda wants to become enlivened spiritually, you know, by some spiritual activity. (to Prabhupāda:) We'll ask the kavirāja if he thinks we can take you tomorrow for a short parikrama around the temple, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Indian devotee: He just got on the phone. I just talked with him.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He's coming back? I couldn't believe that... I felt so bad, seeing him tonight. He was sitting, Śrīla Prabhupāda, on the fountain steps, completely dejected. Couldn't understand why. He just was so, so disappointed and unhappy.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali)
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, the way you deal with us simply deepens our attachment every moment.
Prabhupāda: It is my duty. (laughter) There was a professor in Scottish Churches' College. So when you would say something, he would reply, "That's my duty," "juti," j-u-t-i. (chuckles) So there was a student. He said... So he said, "Is that Scottish pronunciation?" [break]
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What would you like, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Pass urine.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay. [break]
Prabhupāda: ...properly fixed up?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is it properly fixed up?
Bhavānanda: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Hm. All right.
Bhavānanda: Finished, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Hm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: About 40 cc's, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali)
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali) (Bengali conversation continues for some time)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Are you comfortable, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes. I want little...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Little?
Prabhupāda: My...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What is that "my," Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Jayapatākā: "My" must mean massage.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Massage? Where, Śrīla Prabhupāda? On your leg?
Prabhupāda: On the corner of the waist.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Both sides?
Prabhupāda: No, left side.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Hm?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I'll put a little oil on? It's against aching. This is all right.
Prabhupāda: Brisk.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is that oil you liked for pains.
Upendra: On the back.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Upendra said. "Should I put a little?"
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayapatākā: Is this mattress hard for you, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: No. It becomes harder.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that all right?
Prabhupāda: Um hm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This whole waist area? This whole area?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali)
Prabhupāda: Bon Mahārāja came actually, but he did not come here.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh. Where he came to?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: He was waiting in his college.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He did not come here.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: He said that "Go there... I will see Mahārāja at this time."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How we can give a fixed time? Actually it's better you get a little bit stronger before receiving guests, Śrīla Prabhupāda. If you see him you will be doing a lot of preaching and talking. He's still here in Vṛndāvana, Bon Mahārāja?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Yes.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali)
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali)
Prabhupāda: Time?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What time is good, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Ten o'clock?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Tomorrow there is function.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, tomorrow's function. Day after tomorrow?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Ha, day after tomorrow.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Tomorrow is no good?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Day after tomorrow.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What time is convenient?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Every time.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: For you, Śrīla Prabhupāda, any time is convenient.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Day or night is the same for you now.
Prabhupāda: So day after tomorrow.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We'll send our car?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We'll send a car, say, at about half past eleven?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Past eleven.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Eleven-thirty.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Good time? Is that all right with you, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Ask Bābājī Mahārāja.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You also come. Where will you be?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: I am at the Imlitala.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So first we will pick you up.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali)
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. They will take prasādam here, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali )
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? They will take prasādam here? Bhakti-caru Mahārāja cooks very, very first class Bengali prasādam.
Bhavānanda: Very best.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They should take here.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali)
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali)
Svarūpa Dāmodara: The evening.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: The evening on Saturday, er, Sunday.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: On Sunday in the evening.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Sunday evening. That means tomorrow.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: No. Day after tomorrow.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Tomorrow is Saturday.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Tomorrow is Saturday. Day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday?
Prabhupāda: So you'll stay there.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Tomorrow is Saturday.
Prabhupāda: And they will send car.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right. So day after tomorrow, evening. What time?
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Evening, any time is good.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Six o'clock. You tell Bon Mahārāja, say, at... We will pick you up earlier.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: No, I'll come to Bon Mahārāja's.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Ācchā. Then five-thirty.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Five-thirty.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that all right? Yes? And they will take prasādam here, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Ācchā. So make it even a little later, say six-thirty.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: Six-thirty. Not six-thirty. Five-thirty.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hm? Five-thirty's better. Okay. Ṭhike. Five-thirty.
Prabhupāda: (Bengali)
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (laughing) Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Bhakti-caru Mahārāja, you have to make nice prasādam Sunday evening.
Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī: (Bengali)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: (aside:) He's going now? So we will take him back. You arrange. He'll come. Anudeśa, you arrange for the car also. Help Bhakti-caru. Is this giving you a little relief, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Massaging your legs are Bhavānanda Mahārāja and Girirāja. (pause)
Prabhupāda: Soda water?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Bol, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: The soda-water sound.
Bhavānanda: Soda water?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Soda water?
Prabhupāda: You don't hear the sound of soda water.
Bhavānanda: Yes, I do. Oh, that's the water bucket.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Some water was boiling, Śrīla Prabhupāda. That was the sound of boiling water. In America people always keep the teapot boiling. So similarly, here, Upendra, he always keeps a pot of water boiling, Śrīla Prabhupāda. He is always ready to serve you with warm water. Whenever you need warm water... So that's one of the things. Always there is some water boiling here. You must be very tired today, Śrīla Prabhupāda. You've done a great deal of talking. [break] (Hindi with kavirāja )
Bhakti-caru: He's asking whether Śrīla Prabhupāda is feeling stronger. He said yes.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: He's saying that Prabhupāda's pulse is ninety, which is normal, and he gave three other medicines for Prabhupāda's heart. That missing beat that Prabhupāda was having—that's no more there.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Hm? What is that?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You were having a missing beat in your pulse.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: (Bengali) He is telling that he's requesting repeatedly that Prabhupāda doesn't talk too much. He says that the energy that he's building, the moment he starts talking, he loses that energy.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that all right, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: No, how to say all right?
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Trying to stop Śrīla Prabhupāda from speaking is like trying to stop the Gaṅgā.
Kavirāja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: Shastriji's saying that he's seen lakhs of patients, but he hasn't seen a body like Śrīla Prabhupāda's. In one moment it is very critical, and the next moment it's in perfect order. And he is now absolutely confident that Prabhupāda is going to get well.
Jagadīśa: He is or isn't?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He is. We also are.
Bhakti-caru: And he's just requesting Śrīla Prabhupāda that he keeps on taking the milk and the fruit juice and the medicine.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that all right, Śrīla Prabhupāda? (end)
