Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda? I had a question about the prasādam distribution money that I am hoping to get from the record sales.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: I would like to know if some of it can be used for distributing prasādam in America.
Prabhupāda: Why not?
Rāmeśvara: Say, at Ratha-yātrā time.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Rāmeśvara: Big parades.
Prabhupāda: But America has money. Here they have no money. So preference should be given in India. They're poor.
Rāmeśvara: We can take a little bit out for these festivals in America.
Prabhupāda: Yes, if required, if required.
Rāmeśvara: If required.
Prabhupāda: Just see. One family came, and I gave them little prasādam, dahl bhatta only. How nicely they took. Yes.
Hari-śauri: Yes. Dahl and rice.
Prabhupāda: Yes. And they were fully satisfied. So in all our temple at least for ten men, twenty men.
Rāmeśvara: That the temple can support.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: But I'm thinking of, say, a big festival like Ratha-yātrā. They want to distribute prasādam. Maybe we can take a few... Little bit out.
Prabhupāda: Yes, if required. Yes.
Rāmeśvara: If required. That's the point.
Prabhupāda: But this prasādam distribution should be introduced very vigorously.
Satsvarūpa: Then if they say, "You're not doing anything," you can show so easily.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Satsvarūpa: Then if people say, "What is this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement doing?"
Prabhupāda: Don't you see? You have no eyes? Who is publishing these books? If you have education, read it. Simply jumping like monkey is good, do you think? Here is intelligence and appreciation. Do you mean to say...? The monkey is very busy. Who likes that? After all, it is monkey. So your doing something is like jumping of the monkey and dogs. Who likes it? And you are simply creating problem by your so-called busy-ness. Better you stop and read our books and be intelligent. Lazy mischief-maker, it is better than busy mischief maker. Busy mischief maker means he'll commit more mischief. Just like monkey. What is the use of his becoming busy? He'll simply create mischief. So better... An lazy mischief maker is better than the busy mischief maker.
