Prabhupāda: So they can go to the temple now, this saṅkīrtana?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Let us go to the temple? You want to go to the temple now?
Prabhupāda: Myself?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You mean the devotees here?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You want them to go into the temple and perform kīrtana?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay. And you'll hear it from here.
Prabhupāda: Hm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right. Temple without kīrtana doesn't have full life. Bhavānanda Mahārāja was just saying that this evening. The kīrtana party from Māyāpur, they went back today. Otherwise, every night they've been doing kīrtana for about five hours. Today they're not here because they're returning to Māyāpur. I was thinking today how you've always taken care of us so much and served us so much all of these years that now Kṛṣṇa is giving us a small little opportunity to just do a little service to you.
Prabhupāda: How many men, they have come?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I heard that somewhere between a hundred and 150. They reserved all of the rooms of the guesthouse. I told Bhakti-prema Swami to speak there on the subject of Fifteenth Chapter, fifteenth verse,
- sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo
- mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca
- vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo
- vedānta-kṛd veda-vid eva cāham
- (BG 15.15)
Prabhupāda: They are looking after the book?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Are they looking after the book table?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I'll have to find out from Viśāla how his book sales are doing.
Prabhupāda: Hundred fifty men?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I've been told between a hundred and a hundred-fifty. There's a lecture in the temple now, Śrīla Prabhupāda. The kīrtana can't be done in the temple just now because there's a lecture there.
Prabhupāda: Lecture?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. Every evening there's lecture.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhagavad-gītā lecture every evening in the temple.
Prabhupāda: That is also kīrtana.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. So I'll inform the organizer that when Rāma-Kṛṣṇajī and Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa come, to inform them that they can come and see you. (end)
