Prabhupāda:

. . . rādhā śrīla Govinda-devau
preṣṭhālībhiḥ sevyamānau smarāmi.
Śrīmān rāsa-rasārambhī vaṁśī-vaṭa-taṭa-sthitaḥ
karṣan veṇu-svanair gopīr Gopīnāthaḥ śriye 'stu naḥ.
Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare
Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare

All right. Chant. (devotees chant japa) Give me your beads. (japa)

Prabhupāda: Is it tight? It must be tight?

Devotee: It must be tight?

Prabhupāda: Yes. (japa)

Begin from here. Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Then take next. In this way you'll come this side. You don't cross this. Again from . . . begin here, and come to this.

Such sixteen rounds must be done every day. Your spiritual name is Chandanācārya dāsa. Chandanācārya. C-h-a-n-d-a-n-c-h-a-r-y-a dāsa. Chandanācārya, a great preacher of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. So you are servant of that. You have to preach very nicely. Bow down.

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya Kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate Bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine

Now chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy. Take this.

Lady devotee: Haribol.

Prabhupāda: (japa) You could not secure like that? This is all right. (japa) Put in your bag and do . . . (japa)

Begin from here, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Next. In this way come to this point, again like that.

And where is that chart, the ten kinds of offenses and the regulative principles?

Haṁsadūta: I have it in Montreal.

Lady devotee: They have.

Haṁsadūta: They have that. They already have that, Prabhupāda. Yes.

Prabhupāda: You must give them copies. Is there any name Madana-mohana dāsa? Yes? There is? So his name should be Baradrāj. B-a-r-a-d, Baradrāj, r-a-j, Baradrāj. Baradrāj is another name of Lord Viṣṇu. Baradrāj dāsa Brahmacārī. All right. Just bow down. Bow down. Bow down.

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya Kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate Bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine

All right. Take your beads. Be happy. Baradrāj. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (japa) Chant. (japa) Keep it there. You can keep it. (japa)

Śāradīyā: (to devotees) You want to move a little closer?

Prabhupāda: You can keep it.

Candanācārya: Put it down?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Nama . . . you take little, little, everyone, and when I say svāhā, you put it.

Satsvarūpa: Prabhupāda? Is Śāradīyā dāsī going to take Gāyatrī?

Prabhupāda: Gāyatrī . . . so where is that mantra sheet? Then I'll give you after. That's all.
