Prabhupāda: So I said, "Don't delay. So many doctors..." And next morning he came back and said, "The doctor said, 'You are all right, you can go.' "
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He was just drunk from liquor.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: I had a similar story. It is my own personal experience. In 1974 I came here in India. I got malaria in the United States in summer 1975. Then temperature was very high. I went to the Baptist Hospital in Atlanta. They thought it was a virus, viral infection. They couldn't diagnose. Then they gave some medicine, and then I went. But it started again the following day, and I went to another doctor. He could not diagnose. So they gave me glucose injection, a big bottle, thinking it was a strange viral infection. So about six, seven doctors, they couldn't diagnose for three-four days. Then one day there was a doctor who came from Vietnam, he had some experience in tropical disease. So he thought it might be malarial fever. Then, after that, I was surrounded by many doctors thinking that it was a strange disease before, but they diagnosed... But it was not right. They did all the wrong medicine, thinking it was a viral infection.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: This is in America just two years ago.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I told you the story of my father recently, Śrīla Prabhupāda, how he had the arthritis in the hip, so they gave him a new hip. Then it moved to the other hip, and they replaced the other hip. So after eight weeks he was in bed in the hospital, and then they said, "Now you can try to walk." So they gave him crutches, and they stood him up, and after eight weeks of all these operations, as soon as he stood up he had a heart attack and died right on the spot. They were very sure. "Now you're all right," they told him.
Devotee: My great-uncle, he had tonsillitis, so he went to a friend who was a doctor, and the friend said, "That's all right. We'll operate, and I will not charge you anything." So he went into the hospital, and in the operation the doctor dropped a scalpel, and after that—he was very big, and he became very small, never could eat again. (break)
Prabhupāda: No protection.
Bhavānanda: There's no protection. (break)
Bhakti-caru: (Bengali)
Prabhupāda: So? Bhāgavata?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhāgavatam translation? I'll arrange now? (break)
Trivikrama: ...cannot do its plundering business.
Prabhupāda: The sun cannot take life during the Bhāgavata discussion. The more you discuss Bhāgavatam, you keep your life. Who is standing here?
Tripurāri: Now Bharadvāja is chanting.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Who is standing? Dhṛṣṭadyumna Mahārāja, Svarūpa Dāmodara, Tripurāri Mahārāja, Nayanābhirāma, Bhavānanda Mahārāja, Upendra, Trivikrama Mahārāja, Pañca-draviḍa Mahārāja, Brahmānanda Mahārāja.
Prabhupāda: So, you are understanding?
Devotees: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Trivikrama: By your mercy.
Prabhupāda: Then we stop here?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. We'll have kīrtana now. Should I leave the light that's on?
Prabhupāda: Yes. (break)
Bhavānanda: If you'd like.
Prabhupāda: Because my that quarter is more ventilated.
Bhavānanda: Yes, we can do.
Prabhupāda: So last days I can stay there, and when I die, just bury me in the place where you are proposing to...
Bhavānanda: Your house.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bhavānanda: Yes, we can arrange.
Prabhupāda: So think over the matter.
Bhavānanda: Yes, I'll discuss it with Tamāla, and we'll...
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Bhavānanda: It's very nice there, well ventilated. I'll speak to Tamāla Kṛṣṇa now.
Prabhupāda: Call him.
Bhavānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Who is here?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Svarūpa Dāmodara, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: I am proposing to go to Māyāpura.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: You want to go to Māyāpura?
Prabhupāda: What do you think?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Just conditions, Śrīla Prabhupāda, will be proper?
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Traveling by train? It will be a little difficult, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Upendra: Of course, Prabhupāda came from London, and the doctor said he couldn't come.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Upendra: The doctor in London... You came from London, and then you came from Bombay to Vṛndāvana in very weak condition.
Prabhupāda: So weak condition...
Svarūpa Dāmodara: It will be little warmer in Māyāpura. In Māyāpura the weather will be a little warmer. Also the air is fresher in that sense.
Bhavānanda: Śrīla Prabhupāda, here is Tamāla.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: (offers obeisances) Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: So you think over transferring me to Māyāpura.
