(Presentation Excerpt)

Guild member: . . . here are made of a very inferior metal, in fact in lead. But we couldn't think anything better than having this badge made for you in solid gold, twenty-four carat. And hereby we present it on behalf of the members of the Guild to you, our most beloved leader.

Prabhupāda: Thank you very much.

Devotees: Haribol, haribol! (applause)

Prabhupāda: So?

Devotees: All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: How it is to be used?

Guild member: Just like this, m'Lord. Has a pin on it.

Prabhupāda: Oh, I see. Thank you. Hmm. (aside) Baithiye, sab. Idhar to chair nahi hai. Mandir hai. (Please sit down all of you. There is no chair here. It is a temple.)

Devotee: (quietly to Prabhupāda) Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, First Canto, first volume.

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct) . . . Part One. Part One.

Prabhupāda: This is Part One?

Devotee: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Tabiyat thik hai? (Is your health alright?) (end)
