1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

No, we can buy the whole thing. (Hindi) I'll talk with him. (Hindi—Prabhupāda bargaining with chili seller in long exchange) You have got money?
Morning Walk -- April 5, 1976, Vrndavana:

Prabhupāda: Vaiṣṇava ācāra. (break) ...how nice. This kind of building cannot be constructed. It will require crores of money, yes.

Indian: (break) ...nobody. Only (indistinct) would come here, they would stay here for a few hours and then go back.

Prabhupāda: The tank is not with water.

Indian: Yes, they used to have water at both sides of the inside. Now, probably, they are short of water or they have switched on to agriculture. So many they used to have flowers and tulasī and all that. Now they have come to agriculture-wheat, barley.

Prabhupāda: Money. Such a nice tank is vacant.

Indian: I remember my young days. People, young boys, they used to come swim here.

Prabhupāda: Oh. Just see. So you may pay them, say, 150, 200 rupees each. Then it will be all maintained, and that much money you can spend.

Indian: And if it's nicely maintained, possibility you can get some return out of it.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That way we shall get fruits and flowers.

Jayādvaita: I was seeing yesterday in Rādhā-Dāmodara Mandira that nothing is nicely maintained except for your rooms.

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) Rādhā-Dāmodara temple (Hindi).

Indian: (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: Oh. (Hindi)

Indian: Oldest place in Vṛndāvana. I am not even aspirant of religion or psychology, but people are very much interested in Hinduism there.

Prabhupāda: (Hindi)

Guru dāsa: (break) ...should have a nice path all the way around.

Prabhupāda: Yes. (Hindi)

Lokanātha: We should buy some for you, Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: No, we can buy the whole thing. (Hindi) I'll talk with him. (Hindi—Prabhupāda bargaining with chili seller in long exchange) You have got money?

Jayatīrtha(?): Yes.

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) So give him two rupees, eight annas. (Hindi)

Guru dāsa: Bargain.

Prabhupāda: My father used to do that. He'd go to a vegetable vendor. He has got a big basket, and he'll say, "What do you want for all, the whole basket." So he is ready because he'll sit down so long, so at very cheap rate he'll give it. And it was not required in the family so much. My mother became very angry, that "You are bringing so many, so much vegetable, it is being spoiled." But he would purchase like that. If you give him in those days fifty rupees to go to the market, he will spend all the money and bring at home. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (Hindi) We are prepared to spend. (break) ...from saintly person.

Vrajavāsī: Haribol!

Prabhupāda: Haribol. Jaya! Hare Kṛṣṇa.
