<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- April 27, 1969, Boston|Room Conversation -- April 27, 1969, Boston]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Himāvatī: Did you see Nauvanī?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Nauvanī is there. Yes. He is there still. He is also very good. He works very nice in the temple.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Every day.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He's a very good man. Everyone who will come to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness will become good man, even he's a bad man. That is the influence of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Sarvair gunaiḥ tatra samāsate suraḥ. All godly qualities will develop in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the test. Now, our students, nobody can compare with their behavior, with their character, with their innocence. Everything nicer. So don't worry. Simply go on chanting. Everything will be all right. Don't worry.</p>
<p>Jadurāṇī: Doesn't sound like you're concerned about temple affairs.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. It... That's all right. For the time being you don't touch. You chant and everything will be... Soon you will be in good health. Then you will again work. Yes. Śāradīyā, you are painting? No. All right, you finish your school. You are going to school?</p>
<p>Śāradīyā: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's nice. You are painting? That's nice. You? That's nice. Practice painting nicely. We'll require so many pictures. We shall publish so many pictures, book. You are not painting. You have no time to paint. You have got enough engagement. So you can... So long you are here, you just show how to Deity worship, how you are doing that, and they will learn. Yes. She is doing that very nice. So you can, all of you, all girls, you take, her. See doing, how she is doing. Who is doing your temple worship?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Are you going to give some more instruction?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. This is... In this age temple worship is not recommended.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: It's not recommended. But Deity worship is temple worship?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is Deity worship. Because nobody can actually, very nicely perform, this age is not suitable. You see? Temple worship, the regulation, the engagement—at least four, five men must always be engaged, always, twenty-four hours.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: In the temple worship. In the temple.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. We haven't got sufficient men, neither we can arrange such a way. Besides that, your previous culture, everything is completely different. So in this age Caitanya Mahāprabhu has..., this saṅkīrtana, Hare Kṛṣṇa, harer nāma harer nāma harer nāma ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]). This is all round. But at the same time, if you can perform as far as possible, that's nice, Deity worship. In this age Deity worship is secondary. Saṅkīrtana is primary.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Does it matter who performs the Deity worship? Does it matter? I mean is it some particular person?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. That is called arcana-siddhi.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Who should do it? I mean, in the temple who should do it?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, everyone should do it. Yes, everyone should learn. Everyone should learn. Sometimes somebody is doing something, somebody is doing something. Yes, like that. Everyone should be expert in every respect, twenty-six qualifications. (car noise outside) You have got car here? No. Nobody has got car amongst our disciples?</p>
<p>Jadurāṇī: No.</p>
<p>Himavatī: Do you need a car, Swamiji?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, because the temple is here, just in front. So what is the use of car?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Prabhupāda, I found a place very likely for a new temple. And I've gone so far as... The lawyer even drew up a lease. So maybe tomorrow you could look at it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. What is the description?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Very excellent location, right downtown. The things wrong with it is that the temple area is no bigger than the temple area we have now, but the location is just the greatest. Second floor. Still, right downtown.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Second floor. So what is the rent?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Three hundred a month. But we can do it as long as... Presently, Patita-pāvana is working and so am I, and sometimes the gopīs get some money. So we wouldn't have any problem as long as Patita-pāvana would continue to work.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All right, Kṛṣṇa will solve the problems. But the space is not lesser than this temple?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Well, the temple room is maybe even smaller than the present temple room, but then there's another large, very large room for a kitchen and then another space where bunks could be for sleeping. So there's actually three different spaces. The thing is that the main temple hall is not too large.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's all right. That doesn't matter. You have to take saṅkīrtana party. That should be the main business. And the..., at least sixteen men, four mṛdaṅgas. Practice mṛdaṅga like that. And twelve cymbals, and one chanting and all others responding. Oh, it will be tremendous. Take some flags, "ISKCON, Hare Kṛṣṇa" flag, red flag. You see? And conchshell, mṛdaṅga. In New York they are doing now, and they also one day collected 240 dollars or something like that.</p>
