Kṛṣṇa asks Arjuna, "Have you heard all this with your mind at full attention, and is your doubt and illusion now dispelled, and are you prepared to act according to My instructions?" And Arjuna says, "Yes, I shall do whatever You like."
Prabhupāda: Very good. So it is not yet officially open.
Bharadvāja: No.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Bharadvāja: Officially it is not open yet. The reason is because there's still some minor difficulties in the computer, and so everything is not . . . when I left, everything was not yet functioning smoothly. So, many important people have been taken through, but it is not open to the public yet. But it will be open very soon. Actually, when I left, everything had already been . . . the computer is now working, but there was some lights being checked out, some wiring. And as soon as that is finished, then the programming will be done. I have sent a letter back to Los Angeles, asking them to complete the programming while I'm here in Vṛndāvana, at least a temporary program. So it is not difficult to do; it is complicated to do it. And I've asked them to make a film of the exhibition and send it here so that you could see it.
Prabhupāda: I cannot go there?
Bharadvāja: (chuckles) You can do whatever you like.
Śatadhanya: After Bombay, Śrīla Prabhupāda, if you're strong enough, then we could go.
Prabhupāda: There is . . . and who is making khol?
Bharadvāja: Soul?
Prabhupāda: Khol, khol.
Bharadvāja: Oh, khol. Īśāna. Īśāna dāsa.
Prabhupāda: He's doing nice?
Bharadvāja: Yes. They are producing many, and they are very, very strong.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Bharadvāja: They are very strong, and they sound good.
Śatadhanya: They say that you can throw them on the floor and they will not break.
Bharadvāja: Made for Kali-yuga.
Prabhupāda: How many khols he has already prepared?
Bharadvāja: I don't know exactly, but I think it was close to about two hundred when I left.
Prabhupāda: Where he is making?
Bharadvāja: Well, they are having most of the parts done outside, by outside people, professionals, and Īśāna is assembling, and he's working very hard.
Prabhupāda: It is plastic?
Bharadvāja: Yes, completely, everything. And it can be tuned also on the spot. There is a key, and with this key you can tune it up. The heads never break, but if they happen to break, they can be immediately replaced within . . . they can get extra heads, and it takes about two minutes to change, to put a new head on.
Prabhupāda: Hmm!
Bharadvāja: So Īśāna has worked very hard to fulfill your order, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Now he's successful.
Bharadvāja: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Where is his wife?
Bharadvāja: She is in New York with the child. She is working with Yogeśvara there on children's books.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Bharadvāja: Īśāna has taken to vānaprastha. He is living in New Dvārakā, but he's living in a shack, in a very simple room, and living just like in Vṛndāvana. He has given up comforts.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Go on chanting. (break) . . . of Rāmānuja-sampradāya, with that big, big . . .
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Tilaka?
Prabhupāda: Hmm. He is preparing makara-dhvaja.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What kind of jala?
Prabhupāda: Makara-dhvaja.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Makhara dāl?
Prabhupāda: Makara-dhvaja is a Āyurvedic medicine. So this kavirāja was preparing makara-dhvaja.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that the one with musk in it?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes, we have that medicine.
Bhavānanda: That we have, Śrīla Prabhupāda. He has prepared it. We have it here.
Prabhupāda: So, why not try it?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What did the kavirāja say about it?
Bhavānanda: Er, I'll get Bhakti-caru.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You dreamt that.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hmm.
Prabhupāda: What is the time now?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's seven o'clock now, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yesterday you were really on fire, lecturing and translating.
Bhavānanda: Bhakti-caru has gone to the kitchen to bring some . . . but I recall that when we went to see the kavirāja he said . . . we had showed him your urine when it was muddy, filled with pus. He said he wanted that before this medicine could be given, he wanted to see that your urine had cleared up. But he had prepared the medicine, and we have it here.
