Prabhupāda: Yes. So taping, recording, that does not take much time.
Hayagrīva: No. Somebody can do that for you.
Prabhupāda: You can keep it and record. Yes. So manage in that way. We have to train so many things. So tactfully you have to do that.
Hayagrīva: Then he does the first editing. After it's typed up off the dictaphone, Satsvarūpa does the first editing. Then I go over what he has gone over and check the manuscript...
Prabhupāda: Yes. What you do, he goes. And what he does, you go. Then final. In this way. But the last editing should be checked twice. The dictaphone, then checked by him and then by you. Or checked by you and then by him. That's all.
Hayagrīva: Yes. And Pradyumna does the Sanskrit after.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That's all. That is printing department.
Hayagrīva: And then Jayadvaita does the composing.
Prabhupāda: Jayadvaita and others.
Satsvarūpa: Pālikā and Arundhati.
Prabhupāda: Now, I heard that you are composing fifty pages daily, altogether?
Jayadvaita: No, not fifty pages. The manuscript pages, yesterday we composed about forty manuscript pages.
Prabhupāda: Correct, all? Complete?
Jayadvaita: Yes. The original... It's done twice. So those first pages, the first time, they'd already been done.
Prabhupāda: No, no. These forty pages, they are complete?
Jayadvaita: Yes. They are complete.
Prabhupāda: That's nice. That is encouraging. So even if you complete thirty pages daily, that will be very nice.
Pradyumna: They'll get faster because Śyāma dāsī and Arundhati were just typing fourteen hours a day in Columbus and they were getting at least twenty manuscript pages done, and now it's...
Prabhupāda: Anyway, you are the in-charge of this composition. You or Jaya-govinda? Who is in charge of the composition?
Jayadvaita: Mostly I am doing it.
Prabhupāda: Accha. Then you get easily not less than thirty pages daily, complete. That will satisfy. Is that all right?
Jayadvaita: That's all right.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Then our books are, biggest book, four hundred pages. So thirty pages daily means, what is that? Within fifteen days you can complete.
Jayadvaita: Thirty manuscript pages, thirty book pages?
Prabhupāda: Thirty book pages. No. Or what is the manuscript pages? I do not understand.
Jayadvaita: When it's typed out, we've been doing about...
Prabhupāda: I want complete for being photographed.
Jayadvaita: Yes.
Brahmānanda: When you say a page, do you mean a page...
Jayadvaita: He means the typed copies. I've been doing forty of those...
Brahmānanda: How many manuscript pages?
Jayadvaita: That's what I mean. Forty of those pages. Forty pages like that. So Nectar of Devotion is about 580...
Pradyumna: Forty of these.
Prabhupāda: Oh. All right. These are forty pages. Such, say, in fifteen days how many pages?
Satsvarūpa: 450.
Prabhupāda: So you take up twenty days, one month for one book?
Hayagrīva: I cannot edit much faster than forty pages a day.
Prabhupāda: No, no. Don't do it, I mean to say, so hastily. But do it slowly and surely. That will be nice. Yes.
Brahmānanda: One book, one month.
Prabhupāda: No, that you are printing, that "one book, one month" for the last six months. (laughs) That is in theory only. Actually it has not happened. Now do everything solidly so that at least in two months we finish one book. That's all. Is that all right?
Jayadvaita: Yes.
Prabhupāda: You say everything all right. (laughter) Anyway...
Brahmānanda: Today, Pradyumna prabhu, you edited how many pages?
Pradyumna: I didn't edit so many today. I edited fifty yesterday.
Prabhupāda: So I think I want... I shall be very glad to see the Nectar of Devotion is finished before I leave this place and you begin some other book.
