+Prabhupāda: Brahma-vita. Brahma-vita, "whose profession is to realize Brahma." . . . (indistinct) . . . that's all right. (''japa'') Hmm.
-Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the ruling.
+Devotee: Pāyasvinī.
-Ādi-pati: No illicit sex, no gambling...
+Prabhupāda: Pāyasvinī dāsa. Pāyasvinī means the ''surabhī'' cow, who delivers milk as much as you like. (devotees laugh) ''Surabhīr abhipālayantam''. ''Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam'' (Bs. 5.29). Come on. (''japa'') Hmm.
-Prabhupāda: Yes, if you... Then you become king. Come on, next.
+Devotee: Bhārgava.
-Aravinda: Prācī.
+Prabhupāda: Hmm, Bhārgava means the descendant of Bṛghu. Bṛghu is one of the great sages, seven sages, in . . . rotating around the polestar, seven sages. And Bṛghu Muni is one of them. Bhārgava. In India there is still a ''Brahmin's'' family they are called Bhārgava. Come on. (''japa'')
-Prabhupāda: Prācī, yes. Prācī means one of the directions. Come on. You know the rules and regulations? ( japa )
+Devotee: Keith Miller? Sumahat.
-Aravinda: Puru dāsa.
+Prabhupāda: Sumahat. "Great personality." Come on. You know the rules and regulation?
-Prabhupāda: Puru dāsa. There was a very powerful king. His name was Puru. He was a devotee. The same thing, to become ruler of the senses. Come on. We are all ruled by the senses. Senses dictate and we follow. This is the general condition, and we have to become ruler of the senses. Then it is successful. Generally people are ruled by the senses. My sense says, "Please take me to the cinema," the eyes. I immediately go and stand there three hours for the ticket. You see? So I am ruled by the senses. And when you will be strong enough, the eyes will say, "Please take me to the cinema," and you will say, "No, you cannot go to the cinema." Then you are ruler. So one is go-dāsa. Go-dāsa means servant of the senses. And one is gosvāmī, master of the senses. That is the difference between gosvāmī and go-dāsa. Go means senses. When we are servant of the senses, then we are in the material world. And when we are master of the senses, then we are in the spiritual world. Come on. Hare Kṛṣṇa. You have got. All right.
+Sumahat: No gambling, no illicit sex, no intoxication, no meat-eating.
-Aravinda: Indriyāṇi.
+Prabhupāda: Thank you. (''japa'')
-Prabhupāda: Indriyāṇi. Indriyāṇi, the queen of Lord Indra. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Come on. You know the rules and regulations? Thank you.
+Prabhupāda: Hmm.
-Aravinda: Pratīci.
+Devotee: Ricardo. Haihaya.
-Prabhupāda: Pratīci, one of the directions. You are also. Come on. ( japa —break)
+Prabhupāda: Haihaya, a great saintly king. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Come on. (''japa'')
-Trivikrama: Bimali.
+Woman devotee: This is for you to drink . . .
-Prabhupāda: Hm?
+Prabhupāda: What is this? Goblet? What is this?
-Trivikrama: Bimali, B-i-m-a-l-i.
+Woman devotee: It's . . . (indistinct)
-Prabhupāda: Bimalā, Bimalā. Bimalā means spotless, where there is no dirty things. You know the rules and regulations? Yes. If you follow the rules and regulation, then there will be no dirt. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (devotees chant japa ) Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam [[CC Antya 20.12]] . Our, this process is simply to make the mind dirtyless. We are... Our mind is full of dirty things, so this chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa means ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam, cleansing the heart. And as soon as one is cleansed of the heart, that pure consciousness comes. Then he is liberated. Bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇam. All problems solved immediately. Due to misunderstanding of our position we have created so many dirty things. (doorbell rings) Hare Kṛṣṇa. Is there somebody?
+Prabhupāda: Oh! Thank you. Come on. What are the rules? The rules, prohibitive rules? Eh?
-Viṣṇujana: Door. (pause) Maṇḍaleśvara.
+Devotee: (prompting) The rules. What are the rules? The four regulative . . .
-Prabhupāda: Maṇḍeleśvara. Maṇḍaleśvara means a leader, leader of a group. He is called maṇḍaleśvara. Not ordinary rogues' group but Vaiṣṇava group. Hare Kṛṣṇa. There are different kinds of groups.
+Prabhupāda: You do not know? Oh . . . (indistinct) . . . tell her. Tell her.
-Viṣṇujana: Naradevī.
+Devotee: No meat-eating, no intoxication . . .
-Prabhupāda: Naradevī. Naradevī means queen, like Queen Victoria. Is that all right? (laughter-girl offers obeisances) Hare Kṛṣṇa. Queen Victoria was very popular in British Empire. Yes.
+Prabhupāda: Yes. (laughing) Repeat again. Repeat. Yes. What are the rules, you repeat.
-Trivikrama: Hṛṣīkeśa.
+Woman devotee: No illicit sex, no meat-eating, no gambling, and . . . intoxication.
-Prabhupāda: Hṛṣīkeśa. Hṛṣīkeśa means the same thing, master of the senses. Hṛṣīka means senses, and hṛṣīka-īśa..., īśa means ruler or master. So actually hṛṣīkeśa means Kṛṣṇa. He is the master of the senses. And bhakti means hṛṣīka..., hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate [[CC Madhya 19.170]] . Our hṛṣīkeśa means if we be under the control of Hṛṣīkeśa, then these senses now being used for other purposes, upādhi, designations... Just like one is very busy in his national work. Means he is giving service to a designation, falsely thinking that "I am this body," "This body is American," "This body is Indian," "This body is this." So under this false impression he is giving service. This is one stage. And when we are freed from this, all these false impressions, and give service to Kṛṣṇa, that is our perfect stage. So Hṛṣīkeśa means Hṛṣīkeśa dāsa, to become the servant of the Hṛṣīkeśa. Kṛṣṇa is Hṛṣīkeśa, so your name is Hṛṣīkeśa dāsa. Come on. Hare Kṛṣṇa. All right.
+Prabhupāda: No intoxication.
-Devotee: All glories to you, Śrīla Prabhupāda. (end)
+Devotee: Narmadā.
