711128PK-VRNDAVAN - November 28, 1971 - 66:48 Minutes



Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: . . . take the karatāls. (kīrtana) Prabhupād ki Jai , Prabhupād ki Jai. (break) (on the walk)

Devotee: . . . is that behind us?

Prabhupāda: Nanda, Nanda Mahārāja left Gokula and came here because the demons were disturbing Kṛṣṇa. They decided to change.

(break) (kīrtana)

(break) Ye bade pagdi wale Nanda baba hai. Idhar me ye badi Yashoda maiya aur beech me Krishna, Baladeva dono bhaiya. Yashoda maiya ki taraf me chote bhai Krishna hai aur Nanda Baba ki taraf me bade bhai Balarama ji hai. Aur idhar ye kone me Sri Radharani aur idhar kone me Bhagavan ke sakha hai - Prem-sukha, Man-sukha. Nanda Baba, Yashoda maiya, Krishna-Baladeva dono bhaiya. (aside) Photo nahi lena bhaiya. Aur Radharani, Prem-sukha, Man-sukha. Pura kutumb sahit darshan. (This Deity with a big turban is of Nanda Mahārāja. On the other side, there is mother Yaśodā with Kṛṣṇa and Balarāmā in between. Kṛṣṇa is standing near mother Yaśodā and Balarāmā is beside Nanda Mahārāja. In this corner there is Rādhārāṇī while in that corner, two friends of Lord Kṛṣṇa are standing—Prem-sukha, Man-sukha. (aside) Please don't take any pictures. And Rādhārāṇī, Prem-sukha, Man-sukha . . . take darśana of the complete family.)

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What did he say, Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: (to vrajavāsī) You explain in English. Explain in English.

Vrajavāsī: Nanda Mahārāja ki jaya! Yaśodā-māyi ki jai!

Prabhupāda: Explain in English!

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Explain in English what he said.

Vrajavāsī: About the Deity?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: When the curtain opens?

Vrajavāsī: Ha.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Ah, Prabhupāda. What is the name of this temple? Nanda-grāma?

Prabhupāda: (to vrajavāsī) You cannot explain? You can explain what he has said?

Vrajavāsī: I will explain. When the curtain opens, I will explain.

Prabhupāda: Hah.

Vrajavāsī: Ao idhar baith jao. Baith jao. (Sit down all of you, please sit down.)

(curtain opens) (obeisances)

Vrajavāsī: The statue, this one, with the turban, that is the Deity of Nanda Mahārāja.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Nanda Bābā.

Vrajavāsī: Nanda Bābā. And on this side, in yellow sārī, that is Yaśodā Mātā, you see? And in between Yaśodā Mātā and Nanda Bābā there are Kṛṣṇa and . . . (aside) That I will tell. Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, both brothers. Kṛṣṇa is on the side of Yaśodā Mātā, and Balarāma is on the side of Nanda Bābā.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Younger brother.

Vrajavāsī: And in that corner on the left-hand side you see Rādhārāṇī, there in that corner. And in the extreme right, there are these two, they are friends of Lord Kṛṣṇa—Prema-sukha and Man-sukha.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Kṛṣṇa's childhood.

Vrajavāsī (2): Prema-sukha, Man-sukha ki jaya!

Prabhupāda: (to Tamāla Kṛṣṇa) You place one rupee here. Idhar phek de? (Shall I keep it there?)

Vrajavāsī (2): Nahi, yaha rakh dijiye. Bas. (No, keep it here. That's it.)

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Now he gives prasāda?

Prabhupāda: Distribute this prasādam to all.

Prabhupāda: Kya chiz hai ye? (What is this?)

Vrajavāsī: Laddu-prasad. Desi ghee ka hai ye. Shudh ghee ka. (Laddu prasāda made with local ghee . . . pure ghee.)

Vrajavāsī (2): Ye Banke ji ka laddu prasad. (This is the laddu prasāda of the Lord.)

Prabhupāda: Lo . . . (Take it . . .) little. (laughter)

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So fortunate.

Vrajavāsī: Ye Maharaja ji ko dijiye. Maharaja ko dijiye. Ye bant lijiyega. (Please give it to Mahārāja, give it to Mahārāja. He will distribute it.) Put it there.

Prabhupāda: . . . in remote place, long ago. So he asked me, "Swāmījī, why you selected Vṛndāvana as your headquarter?"

Dr. Kapoor: Hmm. (laughs) It should be Bombay or Calcutta.

Prabhupāda: No, he had some this bad experience of Vṛndāvana.

Dr. Kapoor: Ah. I see.

(break)

Prabhupāda: . . . living condition is not that. In Western country, especially America, is going on.

Dr. Kapoor: Yes. It is the most affluent country. The problem there now is affluence, not poverty.

Prabhupāda: There is no question. They don't know what to do with their money.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Here there is no money. And there is so ample money, they do not know how to.

Dr. Kapoor: Affluence has its own problems. Perhaps more problems than poverty. (laughs)

Prabhupāda: Rupaya jab zyada ho jata hai, sochta hai ki abhi to kaha se . . . kaise lagaya jaye. (When one has too much wealth, his concern becomes how to utilize it.)

Dr. Kapoor: Ha, kaise lagaya jaye? (Yes, how to utilize?) (laughs)

Prabhupāda: Wo bhi problem ho jata hai. (That also becomes a problem.)

Dr. Kapoor: Khas taur se yaha Hindustan me jo black money hota hai, wo to aur bhi problem hota hai. Kaha rakhe, kaise lagaye. (Especially in India, the issue of black money is a bigger problem. Where to keep, how to invest.) (laughs)

Prabhupāda: Black money to sab jagah hai. (Black money is present everywhere.) (break) (end)
