Prabhupāda: ...maybe Paris. Maybe Nairobi. Then either Los Angeles or to India.
Sumati Morarjee: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: (Hindi), because whatever that Māyāpur.... You have been in Nava, Navadvīpa?
Sumati Morarjee: Yes, yes, I have been to Navadvīpa, Māyāpur, Śāntipura, then that Katwa, all those places I have visited.
Prabhupāda: So, Māyāpur we are constructing a big temple. And Vṛndāvana also. So, for maintenance of the temple perpetually, I want to purchase some property in Los Angeles, because here, Los Angeles, property gets nice income.
Sumati Morarjee: Is it?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Sumati Morarjee: How?
Prabhupāda: Los Angeles.

Sumati Morarjee: No, nobody will pay.
Prabhupāda: (laughter) No one will pay. So then therefore I thought that to purchase one, two house, so that as Vṛndāvana property, because I am maintaining now the whole institution by begging. But when Vṛndāvana and Navadvīpa deities are there, there is no income.
Sumati Morarjee: No, there won't be any ... both places...
Prabhupāda: In Bombay we can go to you..."Mataji we have no more money, please give me some."
Sumati Morarjee: No, that is different, but these things...
Prabhupāda: Yes, so, but Vṛndāvana and Navadvīpa I want to make some provision. So I'm negotiating for that. This is one business. So Bombay.... (Hindi exchanges) Huh?
Sumati Morarjee: Of course, you won't get so much rent for London properties. They're also very much appreciated.
Prabhupāda: London property is very costly.
Sumati Morarjee: Oh very costly, but they're day by day, appreciating.
Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Devotee: Doubled, in one year it's doubled.
Sumati Morarjee: No, no. 40 percent has gone up in a year's time, on one property.
Prabhupāda: Because the Indians are coming.
Sumati Morarjee: Yes, they'll (indistinct) all the property.
Prabhupāda: (laughter)
Sumati Morarjee: And started taking all the shops. All the cinema theatres.
Prabhupāda: And London is practically no Indian.

Prabhupāda: (Hindi exchanges)
Sumati Morarjee: Oh, so much prasāda.
Devotee: Oh, we have prepared just a little for you.

Prabhupāda: All right, all right, all right.
