| <p>Prabhupāda: That is their business. Now you have to take the opposite, that "Why these people are so anxious about this unrest? Let there be further inquiry by the Janata party. And suspend..." No. Yes. "And suspend the Communist government for the time being."</p>
| | |
| <p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Suspend the Communist government. Why suddenly the Communists are saying that "Oh, here is CIA"? Now, if they're saying that, Prabhupāda said, then you they should ask them "Oh, there's a big thing with them. Let us investigate." Investigate the whole matter thoroughly.</p>

| | Prabhupāda: Gargamuni is getting many, what is called, standing orders for Hindi books. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: It should be taken by the Central Government.</p>
| | |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: The CID is under the Central Government.</p>
| | Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: He's just started. But there's very good scope. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Anyway, it is all ci... It is a Communist manipulation.</p>
| | |
| <p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They're still in jail.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Hmm. Very good scope. You see . . . Just always remember that Gita Press, third-class printing and fourth-class subject it is, and they were maintaining seventy-five big machines. Seventy-five in Gorakhpur. And Pitagar(?) paper against. Still, they could not supply. There is so much scope for Hindi books. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Some books you have brought for selling?</p>
| | |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No, these are just advance copies. They'll be coming by regular mail.</p>
| | Yaśomatīnandana: The only thing is, the people tell me Gita Press things was very cheap. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Some books are ready or not?</p>
| | |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. I just brought these with me.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Therefore I say, third-class printing, fourth-class paper. And if we give first-class paper, first-class printing, there is scope. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Hindi books are selling now.</p>
| | |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. They have a big stock of 1.1, all the other Hindi books.</p>
| | Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, if we give these books for fifteen rupees . . . |

| <p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda wants a big stock.</p>
| | Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda wants a big stock. |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We have a stock of all the books.</p>
| | |
| <p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, but printing three thousand is not a big stock.</p>
| | Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We have a stock of all the books. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Why not print ten thousand of each?</p>
| | |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: If we print ten thousand of each every month, because now we are producing one book per month...</p>
| | Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, but printing three thousand is not a big stock. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: There is no "if." Print.</p>
| | |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: Why not print ten thousand of each? |
| <p>Yaśomatīnandana: We don't have money now.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Similarly, you also, Gujarati.</p>
| | Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: If we print ten thousand of each every month . . . Because now we are producing one book per month . . . |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We are working together, but we don't have that much capital.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Why not? Use it... You can...</p>
| | Prabhupāda: There is no "if." Print. |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: But that we are using for the export order.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: If they take money, that, and use it. Then...</p>
| | Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay. |
| <p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, as we get money. Like the first shipment has just gone and we... Till it comes back, we are... But one point is clear. There's no book that we're printing in India that is out of stock. There's no book out of stock. Sometimes devotees misinform you for selfish reasons that we are out of stock, but there's no book out of stock that we are printing in India.</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: This paper is nice.</p>
| | Yaśomatīnandana: We don't have money now. |
| <p>Yaśomatīnandana: We will have a few at least a few books ready in a few months.</p>
