1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

My Guru Mahārāja was in favor of preaching in the city because you can get many men.


Room Conversation -- July 18, 1976, New York:

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You know, Prabhupāda, I really feel like I should concentrate a lot of my preaching here in New York.

Prabhupāda: Do that.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What do you think? You told me . . .

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Preaching is required, here or there.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You once said: "A good businessman, if he knows how to do it, he can make more money sitting in one place . . ."

Prabhupāda: No, no, no. Money is not our aim. Our aim is how people will understand Kṛṣṇa.

Bali-mardana: He is just using that as an analogy for preaching.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That if you have a good place, many people can be attracted, as many as moving around to many places.

Prabhupāda: My Guru Mahārāja was in favor of preaching in the city because you can get many men.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But do you think I should travel a lot, or what is the best thing?

Prabhupāda: Both things should be done.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Both. So if you . . . we will try to, er . . . we were hoping that you could give us another chance by coming back next year.

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. I'll come.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But you do say that to a lot of different temples. But we will try to make this doubly big.

Prabhupāda: Normal, so long I live, I must come.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Really?

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
