Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Gurukṛpā brought his deities, little Gaura-Nitāi. He's wondering where will be a good place to keep them while he's here in Vṛndāvana.

Prabhupāda: The altar?

Gurukṛpā: No, that's not . . .

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's difficult. He says . . .

Gurukṛpā: I'd like to bring them in daily for you to have darśana since you cannot go to the Deity.

Prabhupāda: No, I go.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda goes every day. Difficult to put 'em in here?

Prabhupāda: But very carefully it should be done.

Gurukṛpā: Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: His deities. You have a lot of jewels with you.

Gurukṛpā: I can't keep them on the altar.

Prabhupāda: If you like, you can keep in private room also.

Gurukṛpā: Yes, that is better.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They've arranged a very big room for the men, the biggest room here, so it's practically like a temple room in itself. It's where the gurukula used to be.

Gurukṛpā: It is better. We cook separate for them.

Prabhupāda: Cook separate?

Gurukṛpā: Just for the deity.

Prabhupāda: That is not very good.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's not a big thing here to cook. Prabhupāda just closed four kitchens down.

Prabhupāda: Patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyam ([[Vanisource:BG 9.26 (1972)|BG 9.26]]). No cooking. Tulasī and jāla. You can offer little fruits, nuts, milk. No need of cooking. Take so much time. I want here no hired . . . but for the Deities and the devotees it is very . . . (indistinct) . . . the hired cook, they are most wretched people. Their association is bad. Make some arrangement so that you can avoid hired cook unless it is absolutely necessary.
