Room Conversation — May 8, 1977, Rishikesh

Prabhupāda: If you have got the name, so why not reply to each one, with the letter… 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, I see. 

Prabhupāda: …that “We are intending to make a huge planetarium. If you can help us?” 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Mentioning the Fifth Canto, Bhāgavatam? 

Prabhupāda: Exactly to the description of Fifth Canto, we want. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How will we get their addresses? 

Prabhupāda: Hmm? Or I can write to Mr. Chandali[?]. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There’s one thing we could do. I haven’t seen the article, but he must have spoken at some institution or some meeting. We can write a letter to the secretary of that institution and meeting, telling them what we intend to do and to forward us a list of the people who attended and their addresses. And in that way we can… Should… Of course, I can do it, but do you want us to do it, or should Surabhi’s office do it? 

Prabhupāda: Surabhi? 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. 

Prabhupāda: Why? 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, he’s already got letters like this, and he’s receiving letters from people. He has… I don’t mind doing it. 

Prabhupāda: Surabhi… No. I shall deal it personally. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right, Śrīla Prabhupāda. 

Prabhupāda: Otherwise there is chance of being cheated. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, okay. So then… 

Prabhupāda: I know what are things, but still, they are specially specialists. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Little confirmation… 

Prabhupāda: Yes, that’s all right. I know everything. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I think, more than anything, you want confirmation just in case… [break] 

Prabhupāda: That is my request, that I may remain unconscious… [break] … kapha-pitta-vāyu. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Conscious, unconscious and… 

Prabhupāda: Hmm. But never put me in hospital. You can refuse, that “This is our Guru Mahārāja’s order.” Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Bās. Let me die peacefully. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: When Caitanya Mahāprabhu was unconscious, all that His disciples would do is they would chant in His ear. 

Prabhupāda: That’s all. 

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So we’ll take that example. Please don’t ever doubt that. We will never let them. It will be over my dead body. 

Prabhupāda: This is my order. If I become unconscious… Otherwise… [Bengali] 

Bhakti-caru: [Bengali] [end]
