Prabhupāda: I came for this purpose (laughter) America is fabulously wealthy. So I shall erect 108 temples there.
(pause) Your daughter is seeing Jagannatha. So this impression, this childish impression never goes away. It will remain. That child, what is the name? Tulsi Devi? Oh that child is very intelligent and it is not even one month old. But, it wants to turn. I, that day I was seeing. He's very healthy child, yes?
Devotee (woman): She treats him so that he has to be very sturdy. She's the kind of mother that treats him so that he is very sturdy.
Devotee (Mother of boy): When he was four days old he came to his first kirtan.
Prabhupāda: Fortunate. Somehow or other hearing kirtan it never goes in vain. It will act. So you are giving her cows milk? She is drinking nicely?
Devotee (Mother of boy): Very nicely. She likes . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: She is passed six months?
Devotee (Mother of boy): Yes, two weeks passed. I didn't have a tooth until I was twenty two months.
Prabhupāda: Oh. (break)
Śyāmasundara: The other day you were talking about demigods and that some soul inhabits the body of a demigod. Like some soul being in the body of Śiva and maybe the soul going into the body of a Brahmā. So I was wondering, after our death . . .
Prabhupāda: No Śiva, cannot be. Brahmā can . . . one soul can raise up to the position of Brahmā.
Devotee: Śiva is eternal? Yes?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Śyāmasundara: What I was wondering was . . . if, if this is the way with all the bodies in the world is it, like after the soul goes away from my body. My body will remain the same and then somebody else will come along and live in my body.
Prabhupāda: No your body will be destroyed. This body, our body will be destroyed. The body does not remain it is destroyed.
Śyāmasundara: The point more like my body will never be created again.
Prabhupāda: This is a flash only. Just like bubbles in the ocean once formed and next moment there is no . . . nothing no trace. Again another bubble forms. This particular body gone forever never to come back again. Yes.
Devotee (woman): The demigods die . . . they die?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Oh yes. Their body is like our body. Simply duration of life is longer. You live for hundred years they live for ten thousand years. Or more than that. That is the difference. Just like ant live for few days you live for hundred years for the ant it is wonderful.
If ant is informed that there is another animal, man who lives hundred years. Oh, the ant will be surprised. Oh it is not possible. Similarly when you hear (break) in your . . . (indistinct) . . . you think it is wonderful, but it is not wonderful. There are different grades of body within this universe.
