Prabhupāda: Who is that nonsense who came and said this? Who is that rascal?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: He's a poor thirteen-year-old boy.
Prabhupāda: Oh. You believed the boy?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No, but he's . . .
Prabhupāda: He's authority. Here you take the information. Why did you believe the boy?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No, he wasn't here. He just told me last night. I asked him.
Prabhupāda: Then how did you believe that boy? Five hundred.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: I was very surprised myself.
Prabhupāda: I know that so many people come, even in ordinary years.
Saurabha: They were sitting everywhere, even on the balconies and in the scaffolding. They were everywhere. It was very crowded.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: The press and the television people came? Every year the television comes. They televised this?
Saurabha: The Film News.
Prabhupāda: I was surprised when I heard five hundred—they boycotted or what?
Saurabha: For the abhiṣeka ceremony, that lasted about an hour, up till one o'clock, and everyone remained. There were thousands of people. They were just everywhere around.
Prabhupāda: I will give you one śālagrāma-śilā. So as it is being worshiped in Māyāpur, it should be worshiped in Bombay also.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: You want to start it now, or in the new temple?
Prabhupāda: No, now. Śālagrāma-śilā. It is not difficult. You have seen śālagrāma-śilā?
Saurabha: I have seen.
Prabhupāda: So you'll take it and . . .
Saurabha: I'm going back tomorrow night.
Prabhupāda: So you can take it. So what other news?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: What other news, Prabhupāda?
Saurabha: Well, now the festival is over, all the holidays are gone, so there's a big crew of people working now. It goes very fast.
Prabhupāda: That's nice.
Saurabha: And we're putting in the walls of your room. We have started . . .
Prabhupāda: What is the length and breadth of my room?
Saurabha: Well, it has different shapes. It's difficult to say. But the main room, the sitting room, is about, altogether, about 900 square foot.
(loud cracking sound)
Prabhupāda: Oh, this business is going on.
Devotee: Mahāṁśa went down and stopped it.
Prabhupāda: Everyone can go, but the business will go on.
Saurabha: So that is your sitting room. Then you have a bedroom.
Prabhupāda: What is the sitting room?
Saurabha: That is about 900, no 850 square foot.
Prabhupāda: Eight hundred means length and breadth?
Saurabha: I'll have to think. Because it consists of three rooms.
Prabhupāda: So people were enthusiastic to come to our festival?
Saurabha: Oh, yes. Very much.
Prabhupāda: That is wanted.
Saurabha: I mean, this place, when it is finished, it will be the most popular temple in Bombay.
Prabhupāda: They have done.
Saurabha: It's the biggest. It's already the biggest. So this is the building (unfolding plans), and these three rooms—this is 32 by 32—is your sitting room, where you can receive people. Then here is your bedroom, and here is the secretary room, here is kitchen, and here is servant room. So personally you have this, four rooms.
