Aksayananda: Guest house has improved very much. Now we have about twenty paying guests. And during Sravana and Janmastami it was completely full. Very, very encouraging. Gopala Krsna: Actually many of the life members were telling us, we met some in Delhi. They said they couldn’t get the whole thing was full. Aksayananda: They were fighting to come. Prabhupada: So, they are allowed three days free? Aksayananda: Only. Also book distribution has improved very much. Prabhupada: Locally? Aksayananda: Here in the temple specifically. Haihaya has been concentrating very good. Prabhupada: Hindi? Aksayananda: Yes, Hindi magazines and what we can get. Gopala Krsna: Visala alone does about two, three hundred every day.

Aksayananda: The bank is all right. Prabhupada: (Hindi) So the Gurukula building, how far? (Hindi) Gopala Krsna: When devotees come for Gaura-Purnima… (Hindi) Prabhupada: So let them come first of all here from Delhi. Indian devotee: They come first here. Gopala Krsna: Thing is, the whole thing has to be completed in three weeks because the American GBCs don’t like… They think it is a very big loss financially.

Hari-sauri: Ah, from the… I think it was one on the bedroom originally. They may have taken them off again. Prabhupada: Find out the door. Indian man: (Hindi conversation with Prabhupada) Prabhupada: …special quality, he’s very tolerant. Gopala Krsna: He’s very cool. Indian man: (Hindi conversation for some time) Keep patience. I am not dishonest. Prabhupada: Dishonest or not… (Hindi) Your family is very nice. Gopala Krsna: Breakfast has come. Prabhupada: No, I don’t want. This man, he’s not (indistinct). Jaya. Devotees: Jaya, Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada: (Hindi) Gopala Krsna: By your mercy Balaramaji is giving. Prabhupada: Nitaiyer koruna habe braje radha-krsna pabe. These rascals they do not know. Nitai, balarama hoila nitai. So without the mercy of Balarama, nobody can appreciate Vrndavana life. Jaya. (end)
