Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? Would you like it to be opened on your Guru Mahārāja's disappearance . . .

Prabhupāda: Any . . . Early as possible. 

Hari-śauri: Anything. Earliest possible date.

Prabhupāda: That would be nice, Guru Mahārāja appearance day. It is . . .

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's his disappearance day.

Girirāja: The disappearance day is on December 29th, which is just the correct time when we want to open.

Prabhupāda: Ah, that's nice.

Girirāja: So we could begin . . .

Prabhupāda: We have no such difference, disappearance and appearance.

Girirāja: Except in your case. We don't want disappearance.

Prabhupāda: (chuckles) ''Jīvo vā māro vā''. Because we are going to accept eternity, so appearance and disappearance of this body is no a very important thing. ''Nitya-līlā'', eternal life—that is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So, the early as possible. Take as far as possible our men. We can keep some assistant, local ''brāhmaṇa''. If we keep one or two South Indian ''brāhmaṇas'', they may take it that we are doing with cooperation. One or two can be kept.

Hari-śauri: Just one or two.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: South Indian ''brāhmaṇas''.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Or local ''brāhmaṇas''.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Local ''brāhmaṇas'' might be a lot easier. Once you get these South Indian ''brāhmaṇas'', then they say there has to be twelve, fourteen, fifteen. But local ''brāhmaṇas'', one or two would come. Probably there are some devotee ''brāhmaṇas'' that we can find.
