<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- October 15, 1977, Vrndavana|Room Conversation -- October 15, 1977, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here is Jayapatākā Swami.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You print. They will pay you. Jayapatākā?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no question of becoming miserly. You print as many books as you like. All money will be paid if you have no money. Why? If you are selling books, you must have money also.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: We have a program to print. We're printing right now. It's in the press at the present time. The Bhakti-kathā, Jñāna-kathā, Bhagavānera-kathā and then hardback Vairāgya-vidyā. And also three issues of Bhāgavata-darśana. We're trying to, within that money also, print the first three chapters of Bhagavad-gītā.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We gave him a loan of forty-five thousand rupees, and then another twenty-five is coming. But that's all...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So you'll get money. Print.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: One of our parties has gone to Bihar, and they sold about twelve thousand books and they ran out. They just now ran out of books, so they went to Bombay to get Hindi books, but there was no stock. So they came here to... Spent four hundred rupees going there, they found no books. Then they came here to Delhi, and they got two thousand books from Vṛndāvana here, what stock they had.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So why stock lacking? Why this mismanagement? There is no question of shortage of stock. I give you open order. Print more than necessity. If you do not print, what shall I do?</p>
<p>Bhakti-caru: Should we start printing Hindi books in Calcutta, Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I do not know where to be... But get it printed in huge stock.</p>
<p>Bhakti-caru: Calcutta also has all the facilities in Hindi.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is use of telling me?</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: What is the use of telling him?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: He said, "I give an open order to print books. Always have big stock."</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Huge stock, he said, more than necessary.</p>
<p>Kīrtanānanda: It's up to us to figure out where to print books.</p>
<p>Gargamuni(?): I have to put this question, Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: He already answered that question. Gaura-Govinda, he's already translated sixteen chapters of Bhagavad-gītā in Oriya, and he's translated three small books in Oriya.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Let him bring. There is fifty thousand rupees in Orissa.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.</p>
