Prabhupāda: Burdwan.
Gaurasundara: ". . . Burdwan, and will give me an English Koran, and I will present him with a Śrī Īśopaniṣad. They are just ready for that."
Prabhupāda: Yes. Very good.
Gaurasundara: "If Your Divine Grace writes to them, they will be very much encouraged." That he gives the address.
Prabhupāda: Ha. Yes, I shall write.
Gaurasundara: "This will help the preaching in Bangladesh very much. Last week I paid my obeisances to Dāmodara Mahārāja and touched his feet."
Prabhupāda: And that's nice. I am… And he is satisfied?
Gaurasundara: "He was threatening all the local people that if they attend our functions he would call the police. I met him on the road, and he immediately started shouting. Then I started shouting, and then he left Māyāpura for two weeks . . ."
Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Gaurasundara: ". . . in which time everybody came back to the meetings, and now 250 to 300 men are taking prasādam."
Prabhupāda: Ah, he was not satisfied. He touched his feet, but still…
Gaurasundara: Even after he started shouting.
Prabhupāda: Then what can be done?
Gaurasundara: (laughs) So Acyutānanda started shouting back. (laughs) And then he…
Prabhupāda: He is a rascal, that Dāmodara Mahārāja. Nobody likes him.

Prabhupāda: Very good.
Gaurasundara: "Now we are friends again."
Prabhupāda: Ah, Dāmodara.

Prabhupāda: I shall dictate all this.

Gaurasundara: Yeah.
Prabhupāda: This is the . . .
Gaurasundara: And he doesn't want to . . . to offend his men.
