1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Hm? No. That's not possible... No, practically... Let them do some small first of all.
Morning Walk -- July 14, 1976, New York:

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ...some of our artists make big sculpture out of metal?

Prabhupāda: Hm? No. That's not possible.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Philosophically not possible?

Prabhupāda: No, practically.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Because some of our men here who have helped to make this wall, the front wall of the temple that we're making in front of the Deities, they are artists and they have the ability to cast large, they've done this previously,

Prabhupāda: Let them do some small first of all.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And show you.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right. They say that they can do it very easily.

Rāmeśvara: What will it look like?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, we can do anything.

Prabhupāda: Three, three foot, four foot (indistinct).

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, that's the first thing. First thing we're going to cast is Pañca-tattva for installation.

Prabhupāda: Yes. But it must be very nice, just like in Jaipur they have made those.

Rāmeśvara: You have to find a material which is strong and light so you can ship it easily to the temples.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Brass.

Rāmeśvara: Or plexiglass, or fiberglass I mean, fiberglass.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Aṣṭa-dhātu.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Eight metals.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Just like they are in India.

Rāmeśvara: Oh, you mean for Deities, Deities are different, I thought you meant art for the temple rooms.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh. (end)
