Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? Would you like it to be opened on your Guru Mahārāja's disappearance . . .
Prabhupāda: Any . . . Early as possible.
Hari-śauri: Anything. Earliest possible date.
Prabhupāda: That would be nice, Guru Mahārāja appearance day. It is . . .
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's his disappearance day.
Girirāja: The disappearance day is on December 29th, which is just the correct time when we want to open.
Prabhupāda: Ah, that's nice.
Girirāja: So we could begin . . .
Prabhupāda: We have no such difference, disappearance and appearance.
Girirāja: Except in your case. We don't want disappearance.
Prabhupāda: (chuckles) Jīvo vā māro vā. Because we are going to accept eternity, so appearance and disappearance of this body is no a very important thing. Nitya-līlā, eternal life—that is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So, the early as possible. Take as far as possible our men. We can keep some assistant, local brāhmaṇa. If we keep one or two South Indian brāhmaṇas, they may take it that we are doing with cooperation. One or two can be kept.
Hari-śauri: Just one or two.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: South Indian brāhmaṇas.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Or local brāhmaṇas.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Local brāhmaṇas might be a lot easier. Once you get these South Indian brāhmaṇas, then they say there has to be twelve, fourteen, fifteen. But local brāhmaṇas, one or two would come. Probably there are some devotee brāhmaṇas that we can find.
