Prabhupāda: No. He has done a mistake, so he wants to rectify it. He wants to bring money, (chuckles) but if the money is lost, it is lost. Let him come back. What is there? A life saved is more important than save the money. So if I could know the address. . . (aside:) Hare Kṛṣṇa . . . then I could write.

Prabhupāda: Yes, you attend all these kalā bhavan. Utilize like that way. Have always engagement. This our chanting, dancing, prasāda distribution. And they will pay also. We'll sell books. Why don't you take advantage of this institution? It requires organization, that's all. Why LIC grounds, so much money? Three thousand daily and 40,000 monthly and so on.

Tejiyas: So much endeavor also.

We can live anywhere, but our propagation will go on. (break) So many bhavans and so many institutions, utilize them. And there will be concession if we take for one week, two weeks. They will give concession. Sometimes they may give free, also, when they understand this is nice movement. (break)

They're in a competition, and the ones who dance through the ārati, through the entire ārati without stopping, the ones that come early, they get this stamp, Kṛṣṇa stamp. You get twenty stamps, you get one plate of mahā-prasādam. You get thirty stamps, forty stamps . . . you get one thousand stamps, you can go to Vṛndāvana for darśana. You get two thousand stamps you can go for opening ceremony in Bombay. Like this he is making program.

Prabhupāda: These are all school buildings? Hmm? They're extended.
