Devotee child (1): How can I serve you better?
Prabhupāda: Read Kṛṣṇa book daily. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Devotee child (2): How many rounds should we do a day?
Prabhupāda: (indistinct) Where is the kīrtana going on?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: On the street. They are getting ready for saṅkīrtana.
Devotee child (1): Someone(?) has to be here to meet you.
Devotee (2): Śrīla Prabhupāda? We've got a traveling saṅkīrtana group coming here (indistinct) from Dallas. The boys are stopping to see you. In two days Dvārakādhīśa distributed about one hundred of your Back to Godheads, and so many Kṛṣṇa books. And all the boys took part in saṅkīrtana. It would be very nice...
Prabhupāda: They want to see me? They want to see me?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: No, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Then? What he says?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: He says that when they were on their way to New York City, the students distributed hundred Back to Godhead and went on saṅkīrtana.
Devotee (2): In two days Dvārakādhīśa distributed over a hundred.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: And Dvārakādhīśa did over a hundred in two days.
Prabhupāda: Very good. That's a great service. What is that?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: He has a camera. He's making a movie.
Prabhupāda: Oh. Why it is fixed up?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: (to devotee) What are you doing?
Devotee (3): Oh, I was watching the boys' faces... Watching them.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: You're not shooting yet?
Devotee (3): No. At any time I can shoot, yes.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes. (to Prabhupāda) He's adjusting the camera.
Devotee child (2): How come you don't you carry your tridaṇḍa with you?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Devotee child (2): Why don't you carry your tridaṇḍa with you?
Prabhupāda: (indistinct)
Devotee child (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda, when you drink like that, that's śuci, right?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Devotee child (1): When you drink like that, that's śuci.
Prabhupāda: Śuci? Yes.
Devotee child (1): Śuci.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: He is asking, "When you drink like that, it is sutri?"
Children: Śuci.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Śuci.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Śuci.
Prabhupāda: That's right, don't touch the mouth. That's all. (children pay obeisances and leave)
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Jaya. Śrīla Prabhupāda, it will be possible for us to have a few minutes' conversation, for them to..., for as an interview, so that they can film?
Prabhupāda: What interview?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: I will ask some questions about how..., when you came to this country.
Prabhupāda: That you know. You can say. These are ordinary things.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: But they would like it, they would like to see...
Prabhupāda: They make like, but why should we waste our time?
Devotee: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda. Well, could we..., could we...(indistinct)?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Well, I can ask, I can...
Prabhupāda: That you can ask. These are simply ordinary question anyone can answer. If there is serious question, that understanding, then he may come.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes. They would like to let us..., we could ask you questions, serious questions, for the benefit of the audience.
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: They would like to film the, the...
Prabhupāda: I can ask?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: ...the devotees asking you questions for the audience.
Prabhupāda: They make radio, television, they ask the same question. They do not know what question they can ask. The real..., it is meant for the philosophy of life, but they, they do not know.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So why this ordinary question to be repeatedly made and I answer? A waste of time. This is a serious movement. One should be responsible men, leaders of the society. If you want to take some benefit out of this movement, they should question.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes.
Prabhupāda: And they should..., if it is nice, they should take it. Then it will be benefit.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes.
Prabhupāda: If they go on questioning, they'll never do it, never accept it.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes.
Prabhupāda: That will not be effective. Simply a waste of time.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Here is the formula, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They actually see how we are changing the character.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: So, the leaders of the society, if it is serious, will adopt this, in the educational system, in their private life. In that way they shall ask some question, then it will benefit. Otherwise it will be simply a show.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Jaya, Prabhupāda. I understand.
Prabhupāda: So, you are carrying(?) the whole Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu?
Devotee (4): Me?
Prabhupāda: Bhakti-rasa..., no?
Devotee (4): Hari-bhakti-vilāsa.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Hari-bhakti-vilāsa.
Devotee (4): No, I had it here.
Prabhupāda: Oh, here.
Devotee (4): I left it here. I just had a xerox. I left my Bhagavad-gītā here, and some other books. I didn't take 'em to India. That Hari-..., hari-nāmāmṛta.
Prabhupāda: (indistinct)
Devotee (4): Yeah. A few other books I left here. Śrīla Prabhupāda? Well, like, there's an old friend of mine that I had, I called up to come and see you today. He's very nice. At five o'clock. He's going for his Ph.D. in theology at Columbia, and he's also an expert Russian scholar.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
Devotee (4): He's been to Russia several times, and uh, it would be very nice...
Prabhupāda: This, this kind of question and interview is very interesting.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Good.
Prabhupāda: So ordinary men, why these people are..., why you are making this statement when you came, what is the benefit of such a thing?
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Jaya Prabhupāda, jaya!
Prabhupāda: They do not know...
Devotee: So...
Prabhupāda: Now, the Russian scholar, he will, theologian, he can describe about God, what is the nature of God.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: So maybe we can ask him to come at five o'clock...
Prabhupāda: Yes, that would be nice.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Jaya Prabhupāda.
Devotee (4): And also some of our men, like Prajāpati is an M.A. in theology, and Ravindra-svarūpa M.A. in philosophy.
Prabhupāda: Ah.
Devotee (4): And they will be here too, and it will be nice to hear discussion.
Prabhupāda: That's right. That discussion only. Students of philosophy, theology, what is their idea of God, what they are thinking, what is their defect, we can talk. Ordinary men you can (indistinct) try to avoid. If they want some question, you can ask.
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes. Jaya.
