Kīrtanānanda: What is Eighth Canto like? What does Eighth Canto contain?
Prabhupāda: Eighth Canto? Churning of the ocean and producing nectar, and the demons they did not receive the nectar. There was fight.
Hari-śauri: And the story of Gajendra as well?
Prabhupāda: Gajendra, that is I think Seventh Canto, no?
Hari-śauri: Beginning of the Eighth.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Gajendra also.
Hari-śauri: That means four parts. That means four books for the Eighth Canto.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Kīrtanānanda: Each volume is more wonderful. Each volume...
Prabhupāda: Aḥ? Oh, yes. There is no comparison of this literature.
Kīrtanānanda: I think before you came, Bhāgavatam was unknown.
Prabhupāda: Unknown, yes. The Ramakrishna Mission published one Bhāgavatam commentary. You know that? Farce. They, these Ramakrishna Mission people have done the greatest harm to the Vedic culture. Of course it is not taken very seriously, Ramakrishna Mission.
Hari-śauri: Not in the West.
Prabhupāda: But they publicized in India that they have made all, everyone In India they were doing like that. "Vivekananda Road," "Vivekananda Square," and rascals, they do not inquire even what is Vivekananda's contribution. Pradulika(?) prabhāva.
Hari-śauri: You made a good point about why although now thousands of American boys and girls are coming to India, no one is going to the Ramakrishna Mission, so what kind of impact has he had?
Prabhupāda: In Vṛndāvana they have got hospital and Ramakrishna temple. Who is going there? This is practical example. In our temple, thousands and thousands of foreign boys and girls are coming, and who is going there? It is because actually, if they did something, they should at least gone there out of inquisitiveness: "Oh, where is Vivekananda?" Nobody going. Not even to pass urine there. (laughter) (break)
Kīrtanānanda: That Japanese tape recorder.
Prabhupāda: And Hichai is, this is called Hichai? That is "hitchhike," and this is Hitch-hi.
Hari-śauri: Hitachi.
Prabhupāda: Hitachi, yes. This is a church?
Kīrtanānanda: No, this is an institution, state institution for old people or mental home. I forget. "Western State School." (break)
Prabhupāda: ...Hayagrīva.
Kīrtanānanda: I think he's in Los Angeles.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Kīrtanānanda: I'm trying to get him to bring his boy to New Vrindaban. He's down there with those meat-eaters.
Prabhupāda: She is not agreeable? I think that she is not very well treated by her husband.
