Balavanta: In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam you say that the Rāhu planet is visible on the full moon night? The Rāhu planet?

Prabhupāda: No, when there is eclipse.

Balavanta: Oh, eclipse.

Prabhupāda: Eclipse means Rāhu planet comes in front. (reading sign:) "No smoking"?

Śrutakīrti: "No swimming."

Prabhupāda: Oh. Who is going to swim now? (laughter) (break)

Tripurāri: Once Balavanta was very sick when he was dealing with the politicians, and I heard that you said it was because he. . . by touching them and associating with them, he accepted some of their sinful reactions.

Prabhupāda: (chuckles) I did not say. (laughter)

Tripurāri: No?

Prabhupāda: But it may be.

Tripurāri: So I was wondering. Sometimes our men on saṅkīrtana, they are shaking hands . . .

Prabhupāda: But you are saṅkīrtana, you cannot be infected. (break) . . .party is infected, then preaching will stop. If doctor is infected, then treatment will stop. Doctor is never infected. They have good precautions. Similarly, when you are engaged in saṅkīrtana, māyā cannot touch. Māyām etāṁ taranti te (BG 7.14).
