They say that "Kāliya lived here."
Morning Walk -- June 6, 1976, Los Angeles:

Prabhupāda: What is that śāstra?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, Sartre, Sartre. You were speaking on...

Prabhupāda: No, not that all.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They just, I found that they don't agree when you say that. They say "I am doing so many things." Just like.... (break)

Rāmeśvara: In your quarters, Śrīla Prabhupāda, or in the temple room?

Prabhupāda: Anywhere is nice.(?)

Bharadvāja: Are there any other Deities besides Kāliya-Kṛṣṇa you want us to make for Fiji?

Prabhupāda: Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa and Guru-Gaurāṅga.

Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī and yourself, Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Bharadvāja: Life-size Deities?

Prabhupāda: You have not seen Vṛndāvana?

Bharadvāja: Just the same size as Vṛndāvana's?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bharadvāja: (break) That Deity, what size should that be?

Prabhupāda: The height is ten feet, ceiling, ten or twelve feet. (break) Ten to twenty inches.

Bharadvāja: Altogether, with Kāliya?

Prabhupāda: No, Kāliya.

Bharadvāja: Just Kṛṣṇa. There should be four nāga-patnīs?

Prabhupāda: Four.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Like mermaids.

Bharadvāja: What is the special significance of constructing Kāliya-Kṛṣṇa temple in Fiji?

Prabhupāda: They say that "Kāliya lived here."

Bharadvāja: Is that true?

Prabhupāda: Well, might.... (break) But it is Kṛṣṇa's līlā, so...

Bharadvāja: Kāliya then became a devotee after Kṛṣṇa subdued him.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bharadvāja: They are both worshipable.

Prabhupāda: Yes. (break) (continues in car)

Rāmeśvara: I was once told that these irregularities in the climate are due to sinful activities. Los Angeles has a very nice climate.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: People I speak to, they say, "Yes, even in the last twenty years we can notice a great change in the weather patterns." People say that.

Prabhupāda: Disturbance means sinful atmosphere.

Rāmeśvara: In Bhāgavatam, you wrote that when there is a great storm or hurricane, some demon has taken birth.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And also that it is the king's responsibility to see that there is good weather. If there's good government then automatically...

Prabhupāda: Everything.
