<div class="heading">In those days who cared for the father? We were coming and.... It was not so congested. There was a riot, Hindu-Muslim riot. This quarter is Muslim quarter. Oh, in 1911 that was a dangerous day. Perhaps I would have been killed. Riot. Very big riot. This was my school, here, this building. This was my school. And college was Scottish Churches. In this ground we used to play football. Yes.

<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Our house was here. I am coming almost daily, on every moment. I was playing here. They were all my playmates. The whole this, from that street to this street, that was our house, home. Here is the pharmacy, that Kailash Pharmacy. That was very old. Our limit was coming up to this road and up to that (indistinct) road.</p>
<p>Abhirāma: Your father would not let you go any farther than this?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In those days who cared for the father? We were coming and.... It was not so congested. There was a riot, Hindu-Muslim riot. This quarter is Muslim quarter. Oh, in 1911 that was a dangerous day. Perhaps I would have been killed. Riot. Very big riot. This was my school, here, this building. This was my school. And college was Scottish Churches. In this ground we used to play football. Yes.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Hare Kṛṣṇa. You used to take Jagannātha right through the streets?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: How far would you carry Jagannātha?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: From our house to this Thakurbari, Rādhā-Govinda's house, coming and going with procession of children and khola, karatāla and everything. Prasādam distribution, everything was there. My father used to encourage. And in those days if my father would spend twenty-five rupees, it was a great festival. Why not? In those days, fifty, sixty years ago, the money value was at least twenty times. So if my father was spending at that time twenty rupees, now it is at least four hundred rupees. So for a children's play four hundred rupees is not a small amount.</p>
<p>Abhirāma: At least fifty dollars in American.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. So my father used to pay.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: You hired a saṅkīrtana party?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Only two rupees. That's all.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Our young children are very fortunate also.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Our young children.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Yes. Very fortunate. That a small child, he'll take little grain of prasādam. He will not touch the big halavā. As soon as I'll give him a little grain, he'll take. Very nice.</p>
<p>Abhirāma: (break) ...travel on a coach like this, Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm? Yes, in our childhood. Not so bad. At that time it was not so bad. In 1925 I purchased one Buick car. In our childhood days there was no electricity, and there was no motorcar. No. The tram car was drawn by horses in Calcutta. (break) ...quarter where our temple is situated. This is the best.... (end)</p>
