0:00Svarūpa Dāmodara: Eh? [Bengali] [Bengali]

0:01Prabhupāda: Oh simply warning?

Travel logistics and financial planning

0:04Svarūpa Dāmodara: Just warning.

0:06Prabhupāda: Ah acha. hirud tinak die vidya vidya high tine tine tak, hirud tinak die vidya vidya high tine tine tak, hirud tinak die vidya vidya high tine tine tak. [?] [door opens]

0:38Pradyumna: Śrīla Prabhupāda something about the tickets. We have those around the world tickets, we have round the world tickets and those tickets have a certain amount of. Have an itinerary. The itinerary is that we go from.

0:57Prabhupāda: That you understand, I cannot remember.

0:57Pradyumna: Well eh, there’s just one thing, that Karāndhara wanted me to ask about. That the tickets are going to be ah, $1900 apiece.

1:05Prabhupāda: Ah.

1:06Pradyumna: And Karāndhara just wanted you to know that the money is coming out of the book fund.

1:11Prabhupāda: Yes. Ask Karāndhara to see me. Yes... That is the...

Discipline and methods of instruction

1:42Called tactics. If the teachers are rascals themselves then there won’t be any fight. There should be [indistinct]. You know the tigers in the circus?

1:57Karāndhara: Yes. They pull out the whip but they never hit the tiger.

2:01Prabhupāda: Eh?

2:01Karāndhara: They never hit the tiger.

2:03Prabhupāda: Yes.

2:03Karāndhara: They just crack the whip.

2:03Prabhupāda: The tiger is so afraid simply by seeing that—he shuddered. Summarily it is not used. Simply in the hand. That is tactic.

2:25So if a tiger can be trained in that way, an animal, a ferocious animal and they cannot train the children? It needs a good teacher[?] Children will cry they will fight but you have to create.

2:52Teachers [indistinct] [LOUD] TAK! TAK! TAK! Immediately they stop. [laughs] I have seen it... In our childhood I remember two teachers, we were so afraid we would going 50 miles away to avoid. [laughs]

3:26It is [indistinct] even though [indistinct]. "What is Bhagavān doing he has had so many accidents." It was going in the [indistinct] immediately transferred.

3:33He created such an atmosphere simply by seeing, all the children cried.

3:50Svarūpa Dāmodara: Even in the [indistinct] we have some afraid—some type of fearness with the professors also [indistinct] we don’t have any.

4:54Prabhupāda: Well that is required or deviance is the first form... [Long pause] So you have, recording department has not paid me.

Recording industry standards and royalties

5:15Karāndhara: Not paid?

5:16Prabhupāda: Not paid and so what is that? [laughs]

5:18Svarūpa Dāmodara: Kṛṣṇa-kānti: I mean about the credit?

5:21Prabhupāda: Yes. Kṛṣṇa-kānti: Yes its royalties. We pay from the records that sold. And when it will be sold? Kṛṣṇa-kānti: Well the first record will be ready in about a week.

5:31Karāndhara: They are bringing it [indistinct] did they get more work done on it? Kṛṣṇa-kānti: Yes [indistinct].

5:38Prabhupāda: There was, there was a contract between a teacher and his students, law students.

5:51So the students says, "Sir I have no money I shall pay you when I practical." [indistinct] so he says, "all right." So after learning the law, so he was not going to the court... [indistinct] [laughs] [laughs] So this proposal is like that. [laughs]

6:24Making recording, there is no sales, [indistinct] there is no sales, so when there is sales I’ll pay [indistinct] Kṛṣṇa-kānti: It is common standard practice in the recording... Yes. Kṛṣṇa-kānti: So when the sale is made the artist. Eh?

6:47Kṛṣṇa-kānti: Artist don’t usually get paid [indistinct] Artist do not get paid? Kṛṣṇa-kānti: No.

6:53Karāndhara: Sometimes they get advancement but goes against our future development. [indistinct]

6:57Prabhupāda: Oh yes. So you can practice it. Then the teacher did one practise he found a suitable criminal.

7:08Karāndhara: He [indistinct] in the court.

7:12Prabhupāda: Eh?

7:12Karāndhara: He [indistinct] in the court.

7:12Prabhupāda: Yes. So.

7:17Karāndhara: No respect for him.

7:28Prabhupāda: He wanted defence to rebel so then he said finally, "my Lord either you let him pay you know now he is practising." This is called tit-for-tat.

7:35Karāndhara: Tit for tat? [indistinct]

7:42Prabhupāda: Tit-for-tat.

Reciprocity and the logic of exchange

7:48The student was also clever but the teacher was also more clever. All right. [Devotee’s leave offering their obeisances] turn it off?

8:27Devotee: No it’s [indistinct]... [end]
