Prabhupāda: So ask. Bring it in the meantime. (break) ...not less than one lakh of devotees, at least, so crowded.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Where is that at, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Where is that?
Prabhupāda: Māyāpur.
Dr. Patel: That is on holy day, no?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Dr. Patel: And one on the day you were in London.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Dr. Patel: I was told.
Prabhupāda: There also, packed up, so many. Now our temple is going first, even the other temples are so old.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It was so crowded that you could not even walk on the road coming into our temple.
Prabhupāda: And it was a barren place.
Dr. Patel: They all come to see the devotees. These foreign devotees, they are enchanted to see them. All these times we were seeing the foreign, foreign, those padres, the Christians. Now we are seeing the sanātana...
Prabhupāda: And another the thing is that Ramakrishna Mission has constructed temple of Ramakrishna. Nobody goes there. It is lying barren.
Dr. Patel: You were planning to raise a temple in Kurukṣetra?
Prabhupāda: Yes. I have applied to the government for land, twenty-five acres land.
Dr. Patel: Very big. But is that land available to us?
Prabhupāda: Yes, available. And we have asked government to give us 350 acres of land in Māyāpur to construct Vedic planetarium, 350 feet high. It will require eight crores of rupees minimum. I shall exhibit there all the planetary system, bhurloka, Goloka...

Dr. Patel: Now the Russians also have come to this conclusion, the Russian scientists and astro-physicists, that there are some planets here in the cosmos which actually have people, I mean, has life like human beings. The other day I read a big article on that. Now they agree.
Prabhupāda: They will agree so many things.
