1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

When I was alone, I was selling this Bhāgavata. All the school, college, I was very…, with great delight they were taking, at that time.


Prabhupāda: English, all kinds of books. As soon as you go, I will, I will make a separate go-down, and I shall engage a paid canvasser to go to school, college, library. Our men are not doing anything.

Rāmeśvara: No.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. As here our men are working, there is no sufficient men, or they are not working. Otherwise there is tremendous market.

Rāmeśvara: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: I did it, personally. When I was alone, I was selling this Bhāgavata. All the school, college, I was very . . . with great delight they were taking, at that time . . . (indistinct) . . . I have got standing order of the American Ambassador, eighteen copies of each book as soon as it is published, the same standing order. But these people are not doing, no doubt. Indian management is very . . .

Rāmeśvara: So for the time being it . . . the money will not be used for the construction in Māyāpur. It will be used to print books.

Prabhupāda: Māyāpur, they have already taken one-half lakh from me.

Rāmeśvara: Now Gopal Kṛṣṇa in India requested that BBT give him a loan of $160,000.

Prabhupāda: When?

Rāmeśvara: In India, just this, during the Māyāpur festival, he requested a loan from US BBT for $160,000, which would be used to construct the second residence building.

Prabhupāda: So how he will pay back?

Rāmeśvara: His plan was that the American temples would purchase rooms, and over a period of four or five years they would pay that money back. So is that still approved by you, by Your Divine Grace?

Prabhupāda: Yes. I have no objection.

Rāmeśvara: The only thing is that we will have to delay the loan, because for the next three months all our money will be used to print these seventeen books.

Prabhupāda: First of all books, then loan. Our . . . we cannot hold up printing. That is not possible. This you must always keep in view. We are not going to . . . the surplus money we are going to build, not that at the cost of stopping printing. You must always keep it. When you require money for printing, there is no question of loan or temple-building.
