Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What about the possibility of opening more than one temple in this city? Just like if there's a good building on the East Side, if we can manage, what about the possibility of that?
Prabhupāda: If you can manage, very good. In a city like New York you can have ten, twelve centers.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, I mean the Christians have so many churches in every part of the city.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Similarly, we can have temples.
Rāmeśvara: You said that once in Los Angeles to me.
Prabhupāda: That Juhu temple, Akasganga, you know? Everyone asked me not to go there, "Nobody will go there." I said "It is Bombay city. Wherever you shall go, people will come."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The question is whether, if we open another temple, it will increase the total number of people coming, or whether simply the same people will come to two different locations.
Prabhupāda: Yes, if you have got demand, then you can open.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: First let us fill up this place.
Rāmeśvara: In other words, instead of filling up that building and then just buying a new one, you just buy a second temple. And keep it that way.
Prabhupāda: That's a good building.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We shouldn't give it up. Very good facility. Especially once we make all improvements on it, why we should give it up? Better to simply open another one.
Prabhupāda: And that is advertised means nobody's purchasing at this quarter, it is not very safe.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This quarter? No, this is the most prestigious. Fifth Avenue between Seventy-ninth Street and Thirty-fourth Street is the prime location. That's about as far north as you would want to go. Any further north uptown will not be nice, but this area here is very select. The best area is from Fifty-ninth Street to Thirty-fourth Street on Fifth Avenue, where all the shops are, the library. That area is very high class. This is Fifty-seventh Street, Fifty-fifth Street.
