We have made arrangements for many young students as well as pressmen
- [09:26]
-
to come and hear you speak and we will be doing also the first transcendental exposition
- [09:30]
-
after you speak. This afternoon you can go to your quarters.
- [09:43]

So, and tomorrow morning we are planning?
- [09:50]
-
We leave tomorrow morning. I’m not sure what the time.
- [09:54]
-
Where is Shyamasundar?
- [10:04]
-
Therefore I am asking, tomorrow morning, at what time we are going?
