Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. In San Francisco there are many Gujaratis, Patels.
Dr. Kapoor: Patels. Hare Kṛṣṇa. So how did you manage immediately after landing in USA?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Manage, when I got only two-hundred dollars in hand, at that time immediately I rented a storefront.
Dr. Kapoor: Eh?
Prabhupāda: Storefront.
Dr. Kapoor: Huh.
Prabhupāda: A shop.
Dr. Kapoor: Oh.
Prabhupāda: It was hundred and twenty-five dollars. And I got opportunity, also, the same building, one small apartment, seventy-two dollars, or seventy dollars, no seventy-five, seventy-five. In this way, two-hundred dollars per month. So I had only two-hundred dollars, I immediately advanced and took the risk of two-hundred dollars.
Devotee: That was a year after you went.
Prabhupāda: Yes. In 1966. I went there in 1965. So, then...
Dr. Kapoor: No, but from '65-'66 how did you manage? You didn't have any money with you.
Prabhupāda: Managed by selling my books.
Dr. Kapoor: Oh.
Prabhupāda: Bhāgavatam.
Dr. Kapoor: I see.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Dr. Kapoor: I see. You carried your books with you?
Prabhupāda: Yes, I took two-hundred sets of books.
Dr. Kapoor: I see.
Prabhupāda: So I was taking the stock to the booksellers there or some institution or some friend. In this way, sixteen dollars, the full set sixteen dollars. In this way collecting. (break) ...That gentleman who carried me in his car, he is Mr. Kaśinātha Servan(?). (break) ...Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, a large edition, this size, eleven hundred pages.
Dr. Kapoor: I see.
Guru dāsa: We should let Dr. Karan Singh patronize ...
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Guru dāsa: ...an Indian edition of it. We should let Dr. Karan Singh patronize an Indian edition of it, without, with one photo. As he was suggesting, let him patronize it, the Indian printing.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
Guru dāsa: Because there is so much demand. He wants to see it. He wants to see it.
Prabhupāda: So why don't you get the manuscript and let us have an Indian edition. I told Rūpānuga that the difficulty is that the enlarged edition when we are attempting to publish, MacMillan says that "We are publishing your book, why not we, we publish." If we publish, then we save our investment to publish. That has not been decided, so therefore I advised my secretary in New York that MacMillan's permission or no permission, you should immediately print. If they print it is all right, otherwise print ourself.
Dr. Kapoor: Haven't you given the copyright to them?
Prabhupāda: No, copyright is mine.
Dr. Kapoor: Oh.
