Prabhupāda: At least once in a month you must be shaven headed.
Akṣayānanda: Actually, we usually shave more.
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Akṣayānanda: We usually shave more than once a month. Two weeks. 'Cause after even two weeks it looks a little dirty.
Hari-śauri: We can get very good wigs.
Prabhupāda: No, no, there is no need. It is simply... That is also mental concoction. Nowadays, if you go with coat-pant shaven headed, nobody will criticize you. It has become a practi... Russians, they used... That Krushchev I have seen. Bald head.
Hari-śauri: Yes, bald head.
Prabhupāda: And so many.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: They don't have a śikhā, that's all.
Prabhupāda: Oh? It is practice only.
Akṣayānanda: No, it's nice. We shouldn't be afraid to do that. Then it will become more and more accepted.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: That's so timely. Once we start diverting, like on these records I was thinking after you told me not to do it. We started. Now there's so many. Everyone's into records. Everyone wants to diversify into so many other areas. There's no end to it.
Jagadīśa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, when you were in Los Angeles you heard that new record by Kṛṣṇakānti.
Hari-śauri: This pop music? This tape that you just got of that Western style music.
Jagadīśa: Apparently in a new BBT newsletter which just came yesterday afternoon there's a statement by Rāmeśvara that you were asked whether this record should be played in the temples and you said, "Why not in the temples?" Hari-śauri thought that you said "not in the temples," Rāmeśvara said...
Prabhupāda: No, no. Not in the temple. I... I want... If the wordings are all right, so there is no... If there is no mistake in the set-up of the wording, the change of musical tune, that is not harmful.
