Talk in Studio
by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
March 13, 1968, San Francisco

Prabhupada: What is this maker, the trademark?

Gargamuni: Concord.

Prabhupada: Concord, yes. Concord is famous tape recorder company. (tapping microphone) It is all right?

Yamuna: Oh yes, Swamiji. It can also, it can be an amplification system.

Gargamuni: See, if you talk… (feedback)

Yamuna: The thing is they’re too close to one another so there’s a feedback. You have to be twelve feet away. Then it will amplify. That’s what we were using in all of our speaking engagements.

Gargamuni: Hare Krsna.

Prabhupada: Oh, it acts as amplifier also? So I’ll have to speak from here?

Gargamuni: No.

Yamuna: You don’t have to… If all, the two microphones weren’t so close, then it would be… We wouldn’t have this noise, and you could speak as you like to speak.

Prabhupada: So Gargamuni wants that prayer? Solo, solo?

Gargamuni: Yes.

Prabhupada: You also like that?

Yamuna: Oh. (Prabhupada chuckles) If it isn’t too much energy, Swamiji, that would be very beautiful.

Prabhupada: All right.

Gargamuni: Also, when you used to sing in New York, Vande ’Ham, you would add on Cintamani. Govindam adi-purusam.

Prabhupada: Yes, sometimes. You shall, I shall…? I shall pray that?

Gargamuni: Oh yes, that’s nice, that one.

Yamuna: What does that mean, Swamiji, that new prayer?

Prabhupada: Cintamani… That is description of Krsnaloka.

Yamuna: From the Brahma-samhita?

Gargamuni: Yes.

Prabhupada: You have?

Yamuna: Yes, I have a copy of it.

Prabhupada: Sit down? Why do you keep there?

Gargamuni: So it’s not too loud.

Prabhupada: Oh. (Prabhupada chants Cintamani and other prayers)
