1972 Conversations and Morning Walks

No... This is..., rooms were existing, but they used to sit down here.
Morning Walk -- October 15, 1972, Vrndavana:

Śyāmasundara: Are those rooms you live in, were they formerly inhabited by the Gosvāmīs, Jīva or Rūpa Gosvāmī, those rooms you have now?

Prabhupāda: These rooms?

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: No.

Śyāmasundara: These came after that time.

Prabhupāda: This is..., rooms were existing, but they used to sit down here.

Devotee (1): Was Vṛndāvana mostly...?

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) In this place, all the six Gosvāmīs used to sit down and read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

Śyāmasundara: And, and did...

Indian man: (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: Ah.

Śyāmasundara: At that time Vṛndāvana was existing as a village or mostly open area?

Prabhupāda: Formerly, before Lord Caitanya's coming here, this was open fields. Nothing...

Śyāmasundara: So everything has been built up.

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) So after the Gosvāmīs came here, practically, all this Vṛndāvana city has developed. Before that, it was open fields. (Hindi) You developed this photo here in India also?

Devotee (1): Ah, some of it.

Indian man: At least mine and Swamiji.

Prabhupāda: You send some copies here.

Prabhupāda: In this temple.

Śyāmasundara: He lives in this temple. This, where the...

Prabhupāda: He has left his (indistinct). (break)

Śyāmasundara: Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu was written here, in this place?

Indian man: (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: (indistinct) Imlitala.

Śyāmasundara: Imlitala? (indistinct) The car is not here?

Indian man: No, he's just coming the...

Gargamuni: It's just a very brief walk.

Śyāmasundara: We can walk.

Gargamuni: It's very brief walk.

Śyāmasundara: Is that, is that Mahā-rāsa place on the way?

Gargamuni: It's, yes, it's more or less, Sevakunj.

Śyāmasundara: Is it, is it, er, should we.... (break) When we go to Bombay, I think.

Prabhupāda: (indistinct)

Devotee (2): The place where mahā-rāsa took place?

Prabhupāda: (indistinct)

Devotee (2): So it is of no significance to us then?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Śyāmasundara: This... Words and films.

Indian man: (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) New York, San Francisco, Los Angles, Chicago, Boston, Buffalo, Montreal. Sixty-six all over the world.

Indian man: (Hindi with Prabhupāda)

Prabhupāda: Oh. Give immediately, on the (indistinct).

Devotee: (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: (Hindi with guest) (break) ...and how it is concerned, we can get many. The thing is, will he get his (indistinct).

Śyāmasundara: Hm. I've been thinking a lot about it.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Śyāmasundara: I'm thinking that if we developed a very large center here, like a headquarters, it would have worldwide impact.

Prabhupāda: Uh.

Śyāmasundara: Because, just like a throwing a rock in the pond, first of all the devotees of India would all be coming...

Prabhupāda: Uh.

Śyāmasundara: ...and it would revitalize the spiritual life of India from this point, and then the whole world would come to Vṛndāvana.

Prabhupāda: So, now next thing, what to do?

Śyāmasundara: I was thinking perhaps I would like to devote a lot of time to raising funds for such a project—in the United States, England.
