Guest (3): I don't want to talk with the tape recorder. I come to honor my Swamiji and my elder brother...
Prabhupāda: That's all right.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We tape everything Prabhupāda says. Everything he says, we tape, whether you're here or not here.
Guest (3): No, I don't want to talk on the machine.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We're not taping for any other purpose, but our Guru Mahārāja's words are very sacred to us, so we tape all the time, whether you're here or not here.
Prabhupāda: No, he has objection to the tape...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I'm just explaining that it's not any, er,... (break)
Bhavānanda: ...never leave the boundaries of our land and never go down the road to his place, but I...
Prabhupāda: No, they admit. He is Mādhava Mahārāja's man.
Bhavānanda: Fifteen-twenty men maybe, at the most. And when you go by there, it's like ghost town. (Prabhupāda chuckles) Now no action. You don't see anyone. You don't hear any sound. Therefore all the people, they walk right by and come right in our gate, where the taktaki is going, the boys are...
Prabhupāda: Here also, Mādhava Mahārāja temple, nobody goes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is this his temple here, in Vṛndāvana?
Prabhupāda: Yes. It is always closed. They are cooking.
Bhavānanda: And the photo exhibit is very popular. Everyone goes.
Prabhupāda: To see.
Bhavānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: There is... Within, there is fan?
Bhavānanda: No fans, but it's cool. It's very cool.
Prabhupāda: It is down.
Bhavānanda: Yes. And shaded.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That was a good idea, not to fill in that basement area. It was a good idea to utilize that bottom thing. Ātreya Ṛṣi has come. He'll come in the afternoon for the kīrtana and Bhāgavatam.
Bhavānanda: People are always saying "Work is worship." Actually they're almost right. Work for Kṛṣṇa is worship. I know that's why they're attracted to Māyāpur temple. Because there's so much work going on, people are attracted: "Why these people are so happy while they're working?" Especially the gurukula boys, sweeping the road hard as anything, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa while they're sweeping.
Prabhupāda: What about my house?
Bhavānanda: That money has just been received, and the plans have arrived from Delhi, but we are wanting an architect in Calcutta, competent architect to... Because we don't want to have anything go wrong in the middle. Ram Nrisinghatar(?) was saying that Mistri is interested in doing Prabhupāda's house. The house and gorgeous garden we have, with fountains and terraces and walkways, all around, before and behind the house, on either side, all enclosed and private.
Prabhupāda: Not yet begun?
Jayapatākā: They say there's no... Because we've just received the plan now from Saurabh, so the architect said there's no difficulty. Now he thinks we can begin right through the rainy season. We can work through the rainy season. There's no difficulty for that. If it was a big building, then in the rainy season we could not build.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How long it will take?
Bhavānanda: Six months.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: By October, November.
Jayapatākā: (aside, discussion with Bhavānanda about building)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda, I think you are tied to this planet by the love of your devotees.
Prabhupāda: Hm.
Jayapatākā: He loves his devotees even more than his devotees love him.
Prabhupāda: All right. Then you shall begin. Jaya. (break)
