1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

Morning Walk Through the BBT Warehouse -- February 10, 1975, Los Angeles:

Rāmeśvara: These racks we purchased for storing the books that will be sent to the libraries and colleges. When Satsvarūpa Swami gets the orders, they are reserved over here, five hundred copies of each book, and then, when we run out, another five hundred copies goes in the rack. So that way, we always keep books. Even if we sell out, we always have books reserved for the libraries. Śruta-śravā manages our warehouse. (engine started)

Hṛdayānanda: Make it go up.

Prabhupāda: I first saw this machine in the Commonwealth Pier, Boston. (machine moving around, crashing sound)

Jayatīrtha: What are you doing, Śruta-śravā?

Rāmeśvara: Sometimes because of that roof you can't see what you're doing.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Morning Walk Through the BBT Warehouse -- February 10, 1975, Los Angeles:

Prabhupāda: He is technical.

Rāmeśvara: Yes. This is the man. His name is Robin.

Prabhupāda: He is...

Rāmeśvara: Very expert. And this is the duplicating machine. How fast can it make copies?

Robin: Three minutes.

Rāmeśvara: How many copies.

Robin: Four.

Rāmeśvara: It makes four copies on the cassette every three minutes, so we are mass producing your lectures.

Prabhupāda: Less than a minute, one copy.

Morning Walk Through the BBT Warehouse -- February 10, 1975, Los Angeles:

Prabhupāda: Yes. That I was doing.

Rāmeśvara: There's one more room, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Rāmeśvara: This is where they ship all the mail orders.

Prabhupāda: Weighing.

Hṛdayānanda: That's for postage.

Rāmeśvara: We have our own postage machine. We don't have to go to a post office.

Prabhupāda: Oh.

Rāmeśvara: It prints out stamps.

Prabhupāda: Even letters, packages?

Morning Walk -- February 21, 1975, Caracas:

Prabhupāda: You utilize whatever time you have got in your possession and go back to home, back to Godhead. (break) You cannot check it. Best thing is that you mold your life and go back to home, back to Godhead. "Oil in your own machine." Instead of thinking what will happen... They will happen. Because people will go on with their rascal civilization, natural consequences will be there. You better take advantage of whatever time you have got and become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious and go back to home.
