Śrutikīrti: People are very interested, the location is excellent. It's on one of the most important streets in all of Boston.
Ambarīṣa: Once we get open we'll be able to serve a thousand people a day.
Prabhupāda: Oh. And what you are charging?
Ambarīṣa: We're charging anywhere between three and eight dollars. Eight dollars for a very big, many preparations and different nectars and very sumptuous feast for eight dollars. And then if you just want a sandwich or something a little smaller you can pay just three dollars. We think we'll be making about half a million dollars a year, which will all go to you, Prabhupāda. (laughter)
Devotee: So we couldn't call the restaurant the "Hare Kṛṣṇa Restaurant" because there were some restrictions in the block, so we were thinking we'd call it "Saṅkīrtana." That's okay?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. They are Hare Kṛṣṇa phobia; they are afraid.
Śrutikīrti and Ambarīṣa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: You have suggested "Saṅkīrtana"?
Ambarīṣa: Yes, they think that is nice. They do not know what that means.
Prabhupāda: Just like our Haridāsa. You know Haridāsa? Bombay?
Ambarīṣa: Yes, uh-huh.
Prabhupāda: He, Moscow, he was chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa on the street, and when people asked "What is this?" "This is cinema song."
Ambarīṣa: Sometimes as devotees we have to be a little bit crooked.
Prabhupāda: (indistinct) We shall do everything as the material person does, karmīs do, but we have to do everything for Kṛṣṇa, not person. Then it is all right. So?
Śrutikīrti: There's one thing, our best hours, some of the best business in the restaurant, would be very late at night, like between nine to eleven o'clock at night. So is that all right as long as we can arrange...
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Śrutikīrti: ...everyone's following the program? People are up 'til midnight.
Ambarīṣa: Still they will come to the morning program.
Prabhupāda: But there will be picture of Caitanya Mahāprabhu?
Ambarīṣa: Yes.
Śrutikīrti: A nice altar, small altar, Pañca-tattva.
