Prabhupāda: There is oil in. Bengali women, they have got hair like this. My sister had so bunch. (laughter) Black hair, and very long. So Bengal is famous for hair and music.
Devotee: Swāmījī . . .
Prabhupāda: Ah, no. This is for distribution of prasāda here. (break) . . . hungry, hungry man. And Kṛṣṇa consciousness man, never he is hungry. If you are hungry, come, enjoy. We are never hungry. We are overfed.
Yamunā: Yes. It's a fact.
Prabhupāda: We have to fast practically by feeding others. (laughter) You are after food; we are rejecting food. Is it not?
Haṁsadūta: Yes. We're having trouble avoiding it.
Revatīnandana: We're trying to reject it.
Haṁsadūta: I think all of us had thought when you called us to India, "Now we will have to starve." So we came, and there is so much to eat.
Revatīnandana: When we left New York City, the last Sunday, Ṛṣi-kumāra cooked a tremendous feast. So we ate until we couldn't move, 'cause we thought it was our last feast. We thought there'd never be any more prasādam. (laughter) Now we have to . . .
Prabhupāda: There was a famine in India in 1942, big famine. I particularly inquired among the disciples of my Guru Mahārāja, and even the remote village, they said that, "We have no difficulty." No. And another, there was a havoc, earthquake, in Bihar sometime in 1933 or that . . . and one of our Godbrother, Mr. Munshi Chatterjee, when he heard that quarter is completely demolished, so he was in the office.
He was thinking, "What shall I do by going home? There is no more home. Everything is . . ." Then he said: "Let me go and see." And when he came there, only his house was left. Only his house. All house dismantled. The only. Kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati (BG 9.31). That we have seen in many instances. Kṛṣṇa-bhakta is never vanquished.
Devotee: Yes. We were thinking that he was getting special protection from the Lord.
Prabhupāda: That is a fact. So be sincere, do your duty. You will never be in trouble. Never.
Himāvatī: All the members of this family are attracted to you, Prabhupāda. They are becoming more and more attracted every day.
Prabhupāda: But some of them are very envious that I went there with forty rupees, and I got so many boys and girls, children, they become envious. Profitable. They began to say: "Oh, it is profitable business." Is it not? So I said: "All right, I leave your country." If the Kṛṣṇa is there, I can make profit anywhere. All right. So you have to wait?
Haṁsadūta: They should come any minute.
Prabhupāda: So all our men are ready?
Haṁsadūta: We're all ready.
