Rādhāvallabha: Just a few. Their sign just got up last night, so no one has seen the sign yet. Mostly devotees are coming to see it so far. (break) 

Madhudviṣa: That's the library party.

Rādhāvallabha: In this place we're going to put a large board and put all your books on the board. (break)

Rāmeśvara: " . . .a standing order to begin with volume one of ''Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta'', then please enter standing order to begin with volume one for ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''." This is their standing order, the order they send us in the mail.

Prabhupāda: What is the . . .? (reading) "No work in all Indian literature is more quoted. Because none is better loved in the West than the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Translation of such work demands not only knowledge of Sanskrit but an inward sympathy with the theme and a verbal . . ." What is called?

Devotees: Artistry.

Prabhupāda: "Artistry. But the poem is a symphony in which God is seen in all things. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda is, of course, profoundly sympathetic to the theme. He brings to it a special interpretative insight. Here we have a powerful and persuasive presentation in the ''bhakti'' tradition of this dearly beloved poem. The Swami's introduction makes clear at once where he stands as a leading exponent of Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is my actual . . . 

Satsvarūpa: He is one of the most distinguished Sanskrit professors. (break)

Devotee (1):  . . .not only have your books there in the New York Public Library, but the head librarian of that Oriental division did the review also.

Prabhupāda: " . . .government of postgraduate college . . ." Oh, O.B.L. Kapoor. (break) "It is an exhaustive plan of original Sanskrit text in Devanāgarī, then a Roman translation, English synonym . . . What practitioner of philosophy cannot but be attracted to this serious student and scholar of Sanskrit language and Hindu religion and philosophy? The viewpoint of a devotee-cum-scholar has the added advantage of making the philosophy meaningful to any practical-minded person."

Devotees: ''Jaya''.

Rādhāvallabha: Śrīla Prabhupāda, this professor calls you "uncompromising." He said that you are "uncompromising."

Prabhupāda: Hmm. That is my philosophy. Read it. Read it somebody.

Satsvarūpa: "Ever since 1893, when Swami Vivekananda proclaimed monism and tolerance to the World's Parliament of Religions at Chicago, nonspecialists in America have pictured Hinduism as an easy-going phantasmagoria of smiling faces disappearing like dewdrops into the shining sea. The ''Nectar of Devotion'' should bring them up sharp. (laughter) His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, whose shorn, orange-clad disciples have brought the inseparable twins of ''bhajana'' and baksheesh to the streets of America, has no doubt that such impersonalism is nothing less than rascaldom."

Devotees: ''Jaya!''

Satsvarūpa: "With all the books on ''Vedānta'' and bland neo-transcendentalism that are at present available to the English-speaking public, it is good to have on the popular market such an uncompromising statement of an opposing view from the pen of one who is as firmly rooted in a disciplic tradition, ''guru-paramparā'', as Bhaktivedanta Swami."

Devotees: ''Haribol!''
