Mr. Gupta: Actually Kashi Express was introduced before last Kumbhamela.
Prabhupāda: No, no. No, Kashi Express goes to Allahabad; then, from Allahabad, there is a straight line from Benares, to Benares. Then it goes to Mugger(?) side. Kashi Express, it goes up to Kashi or not?
Mr. Gupta: Up to Kashi.
Dr. Patel: And how long are you going to stay there, sir?
Prabhupāda: As long as Muratdev... (?)
Dr. Patel: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: No, I'm not going to stay...
Dr. Patel: It is very cold, huh? There will be extreme cold this season. And to take bath in confluence in this biting cold of this cold water.
Prabhupāda: Sometimes I was taking.
Dr. Patel: You should take warm water bath.
Prabhupāda: In 1925 I was taking. I was touching the water, and it was cutting.
Dr. Patel: Even my... It was cutting too much.
Prabhupāda: (chuckles) And as soon as I take a dip, everything is warm.
Dr. Patel: No, but for now it is not right.
Prabhupāda: It is very nice.
Trivikrama: Everything is numb.
Prabhupāda: And immediately warm. As you take...
Trivikrama: Warm.
Dr. Patel: That is all the place, yes.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So long as you do not take dip, it is so pinching, it is cutting your body. And as soon as you get a dip, one, two, three-bas. Immediately you are warm.
Dr. Patel: No, but now, at this age of your...
Prabhupāda: No, now...
Dr. Patel: You should warm the water and take water from confluence, bring in the tent, warm it up and take a bath. Or you get a pot of water here and daily put two drops in the bucket and take bath (laughs). My wife was doing this. She used to put two drops of Gaṅgā water...
Prabhupāda: Now, if I take such dip I may be paralyzed.
Mr. Gupta: Oh, yes. One man had actually died in Kashi Benares by dipping in the Gaṅgā. The water in Gaṅgā is very cold even in summer, sir, huh? Summer also is...
Prabhupāda: Almost. Because it is coming directly from Himalaya. Up to Prayāga, pure, no mixture. And then Yamunā...
Dr. Patel: And Gaṅgā mix together.
Prabhupāda: Mix together. They say Sarasvatī also.
