Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The first thing about this... Can you tell me something about Lord Caitanya's birth, when He was born, what happened, what was it like, all about it.
Prabhupāda: When He was...? Description of His birth?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, we will have a scene showing the people chanting by the..."
Prabhupāda: One scene you have to show that in the Ganges water people are taking bath, and there is on the sky beginning of the moon eclipse, lunar eclipse. And they are all chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and taking bath. And exactly at that time Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared. This is one scene. And the appearance of Caitanya Mahāprabhu should be underneath a tree. Under this scene, this scene, one... Advaita Prabhu's wife, Śrīvāsa's wife, they were elderly, and all other women of the village, they immediately came with presentation. And some of the demigods, they also came, I mean to say, disguising themselves as ordinary men, with presentation. And His father got so many valuable presentations. And then again, some of the professional dancers, they came. So he distributed charity to them. In this way, that function... Try to...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Was Nārada there? Did Nārada Muni come?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Nārada Muni also came. You can show that. Yes. all the devatas, all the demigods came. Nārada Muni, Brahmā, Śiva. They came in disguise, and their wife, Savitri, and then Umā. Umā is the wife of Lord Śiva. In that way you can show so many demigods and their wives coming.1977 Conversations and Morning Walks
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, I think this can be given to the Deities.
Prabhupāda: It can be given everything.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Providing they can keep.
Hari-śauri: That's the problem. Everything that's expensive here gets stolen.
Prabhupāda: So many things have been stolen.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Then let Kīrtanānanda offer it to his Deity. But the checks I think can be deposited in your account. And these jewels can be given to Rādhā-Vṛndāvanacandra.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Rādhā-Vṛndāvana...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That will be nice. These jeweled boxes should be given to Rādhā-Vṛndāvanacandra?
Prabhupāda: Everything.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh.
Prabhupāda: Call him.
Hari-śauri: Kīrtanānanda?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Do you want to keep the checks or give them to him? You want to keep them in your accounts or give them to him? They are...
Prabhupāda: He is developing. He can utilize it.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hm. That's a fact. That's a fact, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Here is Kīrtanānanda Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Kīrtanānanda Mahārāja? This valuable presentation may be utilized for New Vrindaban, Vṛndāvanacandra, all the jewelries and the money also. You are developing. I have accepted your gifts, and now you can utilize it for developing.
Kīrtanānanda: Thank you very much, Prabhupāda. If it would please you, I'd like to save it for the mūrti in your palace and use it there.
Prabhupāda: You require money, so you take back and utilize it there. That is my request.
Kīrtanānanda: Thank you very much. Most of all we want you, though.
Prabhupāda: Huh? Yes, I know that. And if I survive, I have a strong desire to go where you live there and live there. It will be a great pleasure.
Kīrtanānanda: All the devotees feel you are already living there, Prabhupāda. They are already having pūjā there every day, twice a day.
Prabhupāda: That is the way.
Kīrtanānanda: And everyone feels when they come in there that it is a very holy place.
Prabhupāda: You are worshiping Rādhā-Vṛndāvanacandra very intelligently, and the place is being developed very nicely.
Kīrtanānanda: We have some nice pictures here of your Palace. Can you... Do you feel like seeing them now, or would you rather wait till some other time?
Prabhupāda: I can see them.Page Title: | Valuable presentations |
