<p>Prabhupāda: These rooms?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: These came after that time.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is..., rooms were existing, but they used to sit down here.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Was Vṛndāvana mostly...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Hindi) In this place, all the six Gosvāmīs used to sit down and read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: And, and did...</p>
<p>Indian man: (Hindi)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ah.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: At that time Vṛndāvana was existing as a village or mostly open area?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Formerly, before Lord Caitanya's coming here, this was open fields. Nothing...</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: So everything has been built up.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Hindi) So after the Gosvāmīs came here, practically, all this Vṛndāvana city has developed. Before that, it was open fields. (Hindi) You developed this photo here in India also?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Ah, some of it.</p>
<p>Indian man: At least mine and Swamiji.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You send some copies here.</p>
<p>Devotee: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Hindi) You can take one photograph alone. Have you got (indistinct).</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: This man here. This man.</p>
<p>Devotee: Where?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Right here. Is he one of your old friends?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: He lives in the...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In this temple.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: He lives in this temple. This, where the...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He has left his (indistinct). (break)</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu was written here, in this place?</p>
<p>Indian man: (Hindi)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (indistinct) Imlitala.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Imlitala? (indistinct) The car is not here?</p>
<p>Indian man: No, he's just coming the...</p>
<p>Gargamuni: It's just a very brief walk.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: We can walk.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: It's very brief walk.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Is that, is that Mahā-rāsa place on the way?</p>
<p>Gargamuni: It's, yes, it's more or less, Sevakunj.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Is it, is it, er, should we.... (break) When we go to Bombay, I think.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (indistinct)</p>
<p>Devotee (2): The place where mahā-rāsa took place?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (indistinct)</p>
<p>Devotee (2): So it is of no significance to us then?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: This... Words and films.</p>
<p>Indian man: (Hindi)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Hindi) New York, San Francisco, Los Angles, Chicago, Boston, Buffalo, Montreal. Sixty-six all over the world.</p>
<p>Indian man: (Hindi with Prabhupāda)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh. Give immediately, on the (indistinct).</p>
<p>Devotee: (indistinct)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Give immediately. And you come to the Imlitala.</p>
<p>Devotee: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Hindi)</p>
<p>Indian man: (Hindi) (referring to Sarasvatī) Don't eat that She is licking the...</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: What, coins?</p>
<p>Indian man: No. Licking the (indistinct) also.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, how you have come here?</p>
<p>Indian man (3): (indistinct)</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: This is a new edition?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Oh, all the dogs are coming. (dogs barking) Is the driver here? There's the driver. Should we walk, or...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (Hindi with guest) (break) ...and how it is concerned, we can get many. The thing is, will he get his (indistinct).</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Hm. I've been thinking a lot about it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: I'm thinking that if we developed a very large center here, like a headquarters, it would have worldwide impact.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Uh.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Because, just like a throwing a rock in the pond, first of all the devotees of India would all be coming...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Uh.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: ...and it would revitalize the spiritual life of India from this point, and then the whole world would come to Vṛndāvana.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So, now next thing, what to do?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: I was thinking perhaps I would like to devote a lot of time to raising funds for such a project—in the United States, England.</p>
