<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- January 22, 1977, Bhuvanesvara|Room Conversation -- January 22, 1977, Bhuvanesvara]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Brahmānanda: So the only difficulty there is that we cannot make devotees from the local population.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Either Indian or African.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Yes, either one. So unless we get men from overseas, then for us to expand is very difficult. Just like for this Mombassa. We get this big house. Unless we have men to maintain it, then why should we take it?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But overseas, we have got enough men.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: We only have twelve devotees there and two temples. It's very less.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You cannot export from America?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Yes, we have to. We have to.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is your missionary activities, American.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: So far for the Africans, we're giving them prasādam and kīrtana. But anything more than that, we cannot expect. If we give them that, they are satisfied.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They're hearing kīrtana?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then it is all right. One day they'll come. That will cure them.</p>
<p>Nanda-kumāra: On the street, almost any African you say "Hare Kṛṣṇa," he'll say "Hare Kṛṣṇa."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is nice.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Hṛdayānanda Mahārāja is becoming interested also in Africa, because it's very close to Brazil. He will also be able to send men as a demonstration of his interest.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then do it. Some way or other, manage. It is Kṛṣṇa's business.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: I think we'll discuss this at the Māyāpur meeting.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. You are so many GBC's. You can discuss now.</p>
