Haṁsadūta: Prabhupāda, where should we place the picture?
Prabhupāda: On there.
Haṁsadūta: This big picture. On the altar? Or next to the altar?
Prabhupāda: Just so there is space.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda? Where shall we serve the people?
Prabhupāda: Oh, there are so many places.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Downstairs and . . . not in these rooms.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Not in these rooms.
Prabhupāda: Why not this room?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And when shall it be served? After the ārati?
Prabhupāda: After ārati and little talk, that's all.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Then we serve prasādam. And how many men would you say we should prepare for? One hundred?
Prabhupāda: That you make arrangement. You know how many people are coming. Why you are asking me?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So ordinary prasādam at noontime and feasting prasādam . . .
Prabhupāda: Feasting means purī and halavā and a vegetable and a chutney. That's all. Four things. Make simple.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And Prabhupāda? Do you want us to offer feast to your Guru Mahārāja at noontime? A special plate of feast?
Prabhupāda: Not a special plate. The process is that whatever we offer to the Deity, that is offered to guru. And guru offers to his guru. In this way goes to Kṛṣṇa. We don't directly offer Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. No. We have no right. Neither He accepts in that way.
The pictures of the ācāryas, why there are? Actually, one has to offer the plate to his guru, and he'll offer his guru, he offers his guru, his guru. In this way it will go to Kṛṣṇa. That is the process. You cannot directly approach Kṛṣṇa or other subordinates to Kṛṣṇa. That is not possible.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So may we offer you a special feasting?
Prabhupāda: As you do, that is all right. The process is this. Not you or you. That is the process. Then all right.
