Prabhupāda: Very good. This rasagullā is nice.


Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Not as good as Keśī dāsa.
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' . . . we have ordered. They will be arriving in two months. Also we have Prabhupāda-Bhaktisiddhānta deities. They will be coming also. We will be the first in America to have Prabhupāda, Bhaktisiddhānta and Sītā-Rāma.


Prabhupāda: They make it like Keśī dāsa in New Vrindaban. (long pause) Water.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Here?


Vṛṣākapi: Here, Prabhupāda.
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' Yes, Prabhupāda.


Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. [break] ...to purchase it? And he has to sell to us. Nobody will purchase.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Very good.  


Rūpānuga: No. And we have the option secured with a deposit. Otherwise, we would not spend so much money.
This ''rasagullā'' is nice.


Prabhupāda: Now, as soon as possible, you purchase. Six hundred thousand?
'''Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:''' Not as good as Keśī dāsa.


Rūpānuga: Six-fifty.
'''Prabhupāda:''' They make it like Keśī dāsa, in New Vrindavan . . . (indistinct)


Vṛṣākapi: We have purchased. In effect, we have already purchased, Prabhupāda. It is ours.
(long pause) (indistinct background whispering)


Rūpānuga: It is just that we have ten years to get more money.
'''Prabhupāda:''' There is water?


Vṛṣākapi: : It's cheaper to make the payments than to try and buy.
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' (indistinct) . . . here, Prabhupāda.


Prabhupāda: But Rāmeśvara has not agreed to pay?
'''Prabhupāda:''' Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break) . . . to purchase it? And he has to sell to us. Nobody will purchase.


Rūpānuga: No, we do not have to get money from BBT this way. This way we do not have to take loan. It is good, because BBT does not have that much money.
'''Rūpānuga:''' No. And we have the option secured with a deposit. Otherwise, we would not spend so much money.


Prabhupāda: No, we need, we supply money to India. Depend on Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa will supply.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Now, as soon as possible, you purchase it. Six hundred thousand?


Vipina: Jaya. That happened just about less than a month ago. Some gentleman who was a Seventh Day Adventist, he became interested and started to call and come by and listened to the philosophy and even listened to your tapes. And then shortly after that he gave a donation of five thousand dollars. We bought with it some chandeliers for Kṛṣṇa's temple for you to see tomorrow.
'''Rūpānuga:''' Six-fifty.


Prabhupāda: Five thousand dollars?
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' We have purchased. In effect, we have already purchased, Prabhupāda. It is ours.


Vipina: Yes.
'''Rūpānuga:''' It is just that we have ten years to get more money.


Prabhupāda: Don't misspend.
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' It's cheaper to make the payments than to try and buy.


Vipina: Not all on chandeliers. Just part of it.
'''Prabhupāda:''' But Rāmeśvara has not agreed to pay?


Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: You have a bell system?
'''Rūpānuga:''' No, we do not have to get money from BBT this way. This way we do not have to take loan. It is good, because BBT does not have that much money.


Rūpānuga: Yes, it rings, but you can't hear it in here. It rings in the back quarters.
'''Prabhupāda:''' No, we need supply money to India. Depend on Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa will supply.


Prabhupāda: The doors you have purchased?
'''Vipina:''' ''Jaya''. That happened just about less than a month ago. Some gentleman who was a Seventh Day Adventist, he became interested and started to call and come by, and listened to the philosophy, and even listened to your tapes. And then shortly after that he gave a donation of five thousand dollars. We bought with it some chandeliers for Kṛṣṇa's temple for you to see tomorrow.


Rūpānuga: Yes.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Five thousand dollars?


Prabhupāda: It is costly?
'''Vipina:''' Yes.


Devotee: Yes.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Don't misspend.


Rūpānuga: The other doors were not..., they could not even be locked nicely.
'''Vipina:''' Not all on chandeliers. Just part of it.


Prabhupāda: Very nice.
'''Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:''' You have a bell system?


Vipina: We got matching doors all the way through your quarters.
'''Rūpānuga:''' Yes, it rings, but you can't hear it in here. It rings in the back quarters.


Vṛṣākapi: We are hoping if you like it, you will stay here, Prabhupāda.
'''Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:''' Okay. I'll just go in there.


Prabhupāda: I want to stay, but...
'''Prabhupāda:''' The doors you have purchased?


Rūpānuga: ...cannot. (to Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:) On the other side, it works. This Washington temple actually is one of your oldest centers, but this is the first time you have been able to come when facilities were proper.
'''Rūpānuga:''' Yes.


Prabhupāda: Indians are coming?
'''Prabhupāda:''' It is costly?


Rūpānuga: Yes.
'''Vipina:''' Yes.


Prabhupāda: They come on the Love Feast?
'''Rūpānuga:''' The other doors were not . . . they could not even be locked nicely.


Rūpānuga: They come to the Sunday feast.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Very nice.


Vipina: They are starting to come more now. With the changes we made in the temple, and they are being very much impressed that we are doing nicely, and they want to become a part.
'''Vipina:''' We got matching doors all the way through your quarters.


Prabhupāda: I heard that Ambassador, you have made some engagement?
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' We are hoping if you like it, you will stay here, Prabhupāda.


Vipina: Prabhupāda, he, I got a call from his secretary, and I've been working on it and I've been to his house once. He has a very nice stately house. He had requested that maybe you could come there to his home, and your servant and Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa were thinking it might be hard for you to travel there. So we're trying to convince him to come here.
'''Prabhupāda:''' I want to stay, but . . .


Prabhupāda: Ah. There is no question of insisting. They cannot help us in any way.
'''Rūpānuga:''' . . . cannot.


Vipina: No, not at all.
'''Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:''' Where's the bell? I want to test the buzzer.


Prabhupāda: I have tried all these. They are useless.
'''Rūpānuga:''' On the other side, underneath, it works. This Washington temple actually is one of your oldest centers, but this is the first time you have been able to come when facilities were proper. So we have . . .


Vṛṣākapi: We have written all the Parliament and we have asked them to come, but they are too busy.
'''Prabhupāda:''' Indians are coming?


Prabhupāda: So you go and take rest.
'''Rūpānuga:''' Yes.


Devotees: Jaya. Haribol.
'''Prabhupāda:''' They come on the Love Feast?


Prabhupāda: There is much time difference from...?
'''Rūpānuga:''' They come to the Sunday feast.


Devotees: Same time. It is ten-thirty now.
'''Vipina:''' They are starting to come more now. With the changes we made in the temple, and they are being very much impressed that we are doing nicely, and they want to become a part.


Prabhupāda: No, New Vrindaban and...?
'''Prabhupāda:''' I heard that Ambassador, you have made some engagement?


Devotees: Same time, New Vrindaban.
'''Vipina:''' Prabhupāda, he . . . I got a call from his secretary, and I've been working on it, and I've been to his house once. He has a very nice, stately house. He had requested that maybe you could come there to his home, and your servant and Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa were thinking it might be hard for you to travel there. So we're trying to convince him to come here.


Rūpānuga: Should I close this, Prabhupāda?
'''Prabhupāda:''' Ah. There is no question of insisting. They cannot help us in any way.


Prabhupāda: I'm going to the bedroom.
'''Vipina:''' No, not at all.


Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, would you like a fan that doesn't make so much noise perhaps?
'''Prabhupāda:''' I have tried all these. They are useless.


Prabhupāda: May be required. (end)
'''Bṛṣākapi:''' We have written all the Parliament, and we have asked them to come, but they are too busy.
