Prabhupāda: That's all right. It will be less. But I'm prepared to pay you five thousand rupees for fifty men. Not more than that. That I can pay. You do not require to collect. You sit down. But work hard here. Not that eating, sleeping. No. That cannot be. That cannot be done. They must be engaged twenty-four hours. That is wanted. It is not a lazy free hotel. Anyone lives, he must be engaged twenty-four hours. Kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ (CC Adi 17.31). If he has no work, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa here. That should be done.
Akṣayānanda: Śrīla Prabhupāda? We have this twenty-four kīrtana. I've requested everyone who comes to do at least one hour per day.
Prabhupāda: There is no question. This is the condition. If you agree, then stay here. Otherwise, you go to Rādhā-kuṇḍa.
Akṣayānanda: Also visiting devotees should do that too. Anyone who comes here should do that.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Everyone.
Prabhupāda: You must make a rule.
Akṣayānanda: At least one hour in the temple.
Prabhupāda: Why one hour? Four hours. Four hours. Four times. Morning, evening, night, morning again.
Akṣayānanda: Already, the rule is made...
Prabhupāda: No, no, already rules we are... Just like to continue kīrtana there must be four batches.
Akṣayānanda: Yes, four men I have...
Prabhupāda: Four batches. That means six hours, four. Three hours. Three hours. Not four hours. So one batch four hours. From morning six to nine. Another batch from nine to twelve. Another batch twelve to three. Another batch three to six. Again the morning batch six to...
Akṣayānanda: Eight different batches, that makes a total of thirty-two.
Prabhupāda: That's all. Not, why thirty-two? Twice one batch. One batch attending once in the morning, once in the evening.
Indian man: Sixteen. (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: So then if there is fifty men, we cannot spare sixteen men?
Akṣayānanda: Very nice.
Prabhupāda: Everything is nice. Only to be managed. Only to be managed. So I am prepared, I'll pay you. Even if you have no money I'll pay you five thousand rupees. Keep fifty men.
Akṣayānanda: I don't think it's necessary for you to pay.
Prabhupāda: So if necessary, I'm prepared. That's all right.
Akṣayānanda: No, it's not necessary.
Prabhupāda: Then thank you. That is another thing. But fifty men you can keep. Fifty men you can keep. And there is collection in the box. There is collection by prasāda, so many other things.
