O'Grady: This is my friend, Michael Robert (indistinct) We are colleagues together since we teach literature, English literature. And this is another friend of ours who has just come from Greece. Everybody seems to be traveling within the last twenty-four hours. This is a young painter friend of mine, Bob Jackson, also from Ireland, whose first time in Italy, out of Ireland, and he's staying with me at the moment. He came back with me from Ireland just a few weeks ago.
Prabhupāda: We are also writing books, so many. You have seen our books?
O'Grady: I have seen some, yes, because some of the friends have come up and...
Prabhupāda: Some of the books, you can show him. Here is one book, Bhagavad-gītā.
Yogeśvara: You have seen the Bhagavad-gītā, haven't you, in English?
O'Grady: Oh, yes, but not this particular edition.
Yogeśvara: This we just recently published in German, a German edition. (Yogeśvara discusses books with O'Grady for a minute)
Bhagavān: All these books are illustrated by our artists in New York.
O'Grady: They illustrated this?
Bhagavān: Oh, yes, they are beautiful.
Bob Jackson(?): Some fantastic work. When you came to the house...
O'Grady: The text is in...
Bhagavān: There's original text in Bengali. This book is in Bengali.
O'Grady: And Sanskrit.
Bhagavān: Sanskrit, which Prabhupāda translates himself and gives the explanation and purport. Every night Śrīla Prabhupāda dictates into a dictaphone, and his secretaries type and edit. And then we have a press in New York which composes and prints.
O'Grady: It's a very nice edition, that Macmillan edition. Very nicely done.
Prabhupāda: Yes, they have fifth edition within two years. Five editions.
O'Grady: Five editions in two years.
Prabhupāda: Yes. And each time they print fifty thousand books.
