Indian man (1): [Hindi conversation] ¶
Prabhupāda: Indians are intelligent… [Hindi] Indians… So, but they have sacrificed everything for…, to imitate the Westerners. But Indian [Hindi] knowledge… But we have locked it. Our knowledge, we have locked it, and we are trying to imitate. ¶
Shri Narayan: Yes, true. Imitation is not good at all. We must keep our originality and ancient culture. ¶

Girirāja: Twenty-three different languages. ¶
Shri Narayan: Twenty-three different languages. [Hindi conversation] ¶

Shri Narayan: Eighty-four books. [rest of conversation in Hindi, with few interspersed English words] [to Girirāja] You understand what I said? Somebody should come with the [indistinct], the literature. Not the whole book, or the book, but some basic literature with a catalog of difficulties which are being faced from the government side. Then it will be easier. [Hindi] [Hindi conversation, with few interspersed English words as they take prasāda] Rishikesh this side, from the hill point of view, will be better than [indistinct].

Prabhupāda: [Hindi] [pause] So for all your difficulties, you approach Shriman Narayan. He is the right person. [Hindi conversation, with few interspersed English words] ¶
Girirāja: We got the IOD today. ¶
Prabhupāda: Ācchā. Then should begin. [Hindi, explaining about the 10 ft of disputed land and the Municipality] [Hindi conversation] So that question they have now satisfied? That road? ¶
Girirāja: Well, they’re waiting for us to make an official application. But on this IOD, the condition was there that we have to hand over that 10 ft. But that was crossed out. ¶

Shri Narayan: Dalmia, he can make arrangements. He has lot of influence in that area. His own house. [Hindi conversation] ¶
[Shri Narayan and his associates leave] ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Everybody’s appreciating this view. All the ladies were standing on the balcony. ¶
Prabhupāda: So immediately contact Jayadal and Dalmia, and he has got a nice house. We go to Rishikesh immediately. It is very nice. Or Patel. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Or Bhogilal. ¶
Prabhupāda: Then we haven’t got to go Kashmir. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So first we’ll contact Bhogilal, because he’s in the city. If he cannot arrange, then we’ll immediately contact Jayadal. Yeah, they’re such close friends… ¶
Prabhupāda: Yes. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: …they’ll immediately do. ¶
Prabhupāda: Yes. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And Rishikesh is known to be very good. Gaṅgā is there. ¶

Prabhupāda: …and take bathing in the Ganges. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, I immediately feel attracted to going there… ¶
Prabhupāda: Yes. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: …‘cause it’s a holy city. These other places were not so… This Rishikesh is holy city. ¶
Prabhupāda: It is nearer. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So tomorrow I’m going into the city, anyway. I’ll go and meet either Bhogilal or Pranlal. I have nice acquaintance with them, so I can meet them. Even if Bhogilal is not here, Pranlal is here. ¶
Prabhupāda: One of them can… ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He can do also. ¶
Prabhupāda: Yes. ¶
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So I’ll make arrangements. Dr. Sharma is waiting for me, Śrīla Prabhupāda, so… ¶
Prabhupāda: All right, you go now. ¶

Prabhupāda: You are free. Hare Kṛṣṇa. [end] ¶
