1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

I come in this old age to encourage the devotees. (coughs) Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare.
Arrival at Farm -- July 29, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm):

Bhagavan: Most are at the farm, waiting. Here there is about sixty; the rest are there. They told me that after I told them that you might not come, the next morning at mangala artik no one was dancing.

Prabhupada: (laughs) I know that. Therefore I come in this old age to encourage the devotees. (coughs) Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare.

Bhagavan: There is nice water here, from the source, we have a source.

Prabhupada: From?

Bhagavan: There is a source, a natural spring not far from here, and people take there water.

Prabhupada: You all bring all drinking water from there?

Bhagavan: No, yours. (pause) Here, we are an hour ahead.

Prabhupada: Huh?

Bhagavan: One hour ahead, 12:20. We have bitter melon and all fruits and vegetables, everything.

Prabhupada: Who will cook?

Bhagavan: We have Mandakini?

Prabhupada: Mandakini has not cooked very nice last...

Bhagavan: There is Aditi, there is... The wife of Hari-vilasa, she cooked for you before.

Prabhupada: All right, she can cook.

Bhagavan: What is bitter melon?

Prabhupada: Bitter melon, you teach them how to do it.

Bhagavan: Samosa?

Prabhupada: Not necessarily, simple prepare nice dahl, nice rice, vegetables, some bitter melon, and two, three capatis, that's all. Not cumbrous. Must be well cooked, rice. That's all.

Bhagavan: Mung dahl is all right? Mung dahl?

Prabhupada: Mung dahl, yes.

Bhagavan: Mung dahl.

Prabhupada: It boils nicely? Any dahl which boils nicely, that's all right. Without being boiled, it is useless. (long pause) Is it working or not? (referring to the bell)

Devotee: We tried it yesterday, it was working.

Prabhupada: I don't think it is working.

Hari-sauri: It's not working.

French devotee: Yesterday we tried everything. It was working, I know.

Prabhupada: Is there any buzzing? Is there any buzzing? No. (coughing) (devotees fix the bell)

Bhagavan: Where is that lota for Prabhupada?

Harikesa: I told them two o'clock their time, which is one o'clock your time from London, because there's a compromise of..., in between the two, and in that way it would adjust. I also told them not to make anything fancy but to make very simple.

Prabhupada: Who? They will not be able.

Harikesa: Hari-vilasa's wife? Parijata?

Prabhupada: Oh, she's,...

Harikesa: She's here.

Prabhupada: All right.

Harikesa: So I explained to her, and Arundhati's going to show her the cooker and everything, so...

Prabhupada: Arundhati cannot. She cannot.

Harikesa: No, she's not so... She knows the mechanics of it, but the details are difficult. When we get to the farm there is a separate kitchen, and every spare minute I will be with him and just teach him everything in great detail. (break) (lecture:)

Prabhupada: So I am very glad to see you again in this village.

Devotees: Haribol!
