Planning Prabhupada's Journey to Delhi

0:00Shri Narayan: But are you feeling better, Swāmījī?

0:03Prabhupāda: Yes. Little, little.

0:05Shri Narayan: Little better. [Hindi] [Hindi]

0:29Prabhupāda: Therefore always two attendants, and they are taking care.

Medical treatment and physician consultation

0:41Otherwise personally I would not...

0:42Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, please sit down. It's all right. It's here for you to sit, so you can...

0:49Shri Narayan: I don't want you to talk loudly.

0:49Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So you sit down. [Hindi] You can sit here. [Hindi] Yes. [Hindi]

2:03Prabhupāda: I'm very glad to see you here. [Hindi with guests] So, Tamāla Kṛṣṇa?

2:03Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

2:03Prabhupāda: Who has got these films, you can...

2:03Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. I'm going to arrange it with Akṣayānanda Mahārāja. The temple has everything here.

2:05Prabhupāda: Call Akṣayānanda Mahārāja.

2:24Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right. [Hindi]

2:37Prabhupāda: Just see our activities all over the world. [Hindi] [Hindi] [Hindi with Prabhupāda] [Hindi] South Africa. Is it not South Africa?

3:48Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. [Hindi conversation]

3:58Prabhupāda: Why don't you show them the South African report?

4:28Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. [Hindi conversation]

4:38Prabhupāda: ...slaughterhouse... [Hindi conversation]

4:42Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is a temple that was built there. We have a big farm there as well as two temples. This is one of the temples.

4:50Shri Narayan: Where in South Africa? Natal?

4:50Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Near Durban.

4:50Shri Narayan: Near Durban. Ācchā.

4:52Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And they had fifteen thousand people attending at the Janmāṣṭamī celebration. Here you see some go-pūjā. [Hindi conversation]

5:02Prabhupāda: Without culture they're suffering. If you want to mitigate their sufferings, give this Gītā culture.

6:06Shri Narayan: Gītā culture.

6:07Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. That is my experience. [Hindi] We have sold this Caitanya-caritāmṛta even in Russian countries.

6:53Shri Narayan: Russian countries. Bhakti-caru: This is Caitanya-caritāmṛta in seventeen volumes.

7:02Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here are some of our African publications, Śrīla Prabhupāda, published in Swahili.

7:06Prabhupāda: African, Chinese, Japanese.

7:12Shri Narayan: Russian... [Hindi] ...Communist country...

7:26Prabhupāda: This is really humanitarian. [Hindi conversation about temple and darśana] When I go for parikramā?

8:04Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Eight-thirty in the morning, generally. Then all of the participants can have darśana of Śrīla Prabhupāda, and we also have the darśana of the Deities at that time.

8:15Shri Narayan: Deity also. [Hindi] [Hindi]

9:18Prabhupāda: ...so we can influence whole world.

9:24Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? We got report that the recent printing of the Bhagavad-gītā will be sold out by June. One million five hundred thousand copies will have been sold in about ten months' time.

9:38Fifteen lakhs were sold in ten months just in the United States. [Hindi conversation]

9:44Shri Narayan: Bhakti-caru: Seventeen volumes, he, Caitanya-caritāmṛta, English translation. [Hindi]

10:24Prabhupāda: How many? Fifty... Bhakti-caru: How many sets?

10:26Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Standing orders was..., I think it was three thousand standing orders.

10:31Prabhupāda: Three thousand or five thousand... [Hindi] Bhakti-caru: Twenty-four lakhs. Three thousand eight hundred. [Hindi conversation]

10:57Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Three thousand at fifty rupees each. Bhakti-caru: Eight hundred rupees a set times three thousand. Yes. Eight hundred rupees a set times three thousand. [Hindi conversation]

11:16Shri Narayan: ...Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam... [Hindi] Bhakti-caru: Daśama skanda [Hindi conversation with guests] [Hindi conversation]

12:41Prabhupāda: I increased my duration of life according to horoscope [Hindi conversation] ...this feeble condition.

12:50Shri Narayan: [Hindi conversation)

12:50Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here is Akṣayānanda Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

12:50Prabhupāda: Ah, Akṣayānanda Mahārāja...

12:50Akṣayānanda: Yes, Prabhupāda.

12:50Prabhupāda: The film and... What happened to...?

13:16Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, they would like to have a... [Hindi]

14:27Shri Narayan: ....kīrtana... [Hindi]

14:37Akṣayānanda: We would be very happy. [Hindi with guests] [Hindi with guests and Indian lady guest]

15:28Prabhupāda: I do not know. What..., what happened to the Hindu...?

17:09Shri Narayan: What is the latest about the Bombay temple [Hindi]?

17:28Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We haven't heard anything in the last two or three months, Śrīla Prabhupāda. This telegram came from the former mayor—Ganatra? Rajiv Ganatra?

17:44He wrote, "Pray God to give you long life to spread Indian culture in every nook and corner of the universe." [Hindi]

17:53Ramkrishna Bajaj: That is the feeling of all, everybody. [Hindi with Prabhupada and lady guest]

17:58Prabhupāda: That is Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyate BG 4.11[Hindi conversation] Para-upakāra. This is the mission of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, para-upakāra. Especially those who have taken birth in India...

19:52This is Indian culture, para-upakāra. Indian culture is not meant for exploiting others. Para-upakāra. That is human life, para-upakāra. And that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. Bhārata, especially... [Hindi; Indian guests leave for darśana] Jaya. [kavirāja enters] [Hindi with Bhakti-caru and Prabhupāda, as Bhakti-caru explains about Prabhupāda's symptoms]

21:00Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's going down. [Hindi with Bhakti-caru and Prabhupāda] The main thing we saw today, Prabhupāda passed more urine than ever before, and very clear-colored. [Hindi with Bhakti-caru]

23:19Kavirāja: Bhakti-caru: The telephone is out of order. He was wondering...

23:33Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Whether we got the reservations or not. Bhakti-caru: Yes. [Hindi with Bhakti-caru] What is that? Bhakti-caru: Said Prabhupāda shouldn't speak so much. Phew. Yes. [Hindi with kavirāja]

24:39Prabhupāda: Bhakti-caru: [Hindi with kavirāja explaining who guests were] [whispering in background] [Hindi about progress]

25:24Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Slowly but surely. [Hindi with kavirāja]

26:30Kavirāja: Impossible. Bhakti-caru: [chuckling] He's saying it's impossible, that he had cough today, and tomorrow there is no sign of it. So these are all Śrīla Prabhupāda's pastimes, his own doings. [Hindi with Bhakti-caru] [whispering in background]

26:49Bhakti-caru: In the morning you have to save the urine. [Hindi]

29:20Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Which time? The latest possible one. Bhakti-caru: [Hindi with kavirāja] 'Cause he passes urine sometimes two times in the morning, or three.

29:32Bhakti-caru: For last few days, at times he's passing at four o'clock and then again at about six o'clock. So which one of those two? Bhakti-caru: [Hindi with kavirāja] Gītā conference... [Hindi] Gītā Pratiṣṭhāna.

31:10Big conference.

Travel logistics and health precautions

31:19Two days. Two-day conference. Bhakti-caru: [Hindi] Where is the conference? It will be in the gurukula building at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Bhakti-caru: [explains in Hindi] [Hindi—talks about medicine]

31:34Kavirāja: Doctor as well [referring to Svarūpa Dāmodara]. Bhakti-caru = Ha, he's a doctor. Physics.

32:38Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Chemistry. Bhakti-caru: Oh, chemistry. [Hindi] Śrīla Prabhupāda? [Hindi]

32:59Prabhupāda: Hmm. [Hindi]

33:00Kavirāja: ...bhavauṣadhi... [Hindi]

34:37Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, you also ate a little bit of vegetable, and you said there was a little taste today, I think. [to Svarūpa Dāmodara] You can tell him. Some vegetable.

34:47Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes, he said. [Hindi] 500 cc, urine.

35:23Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The Āyurvedic science is very perfect. But the difficulty is that until now we could not find a doctor who understood the science. [Hindi] What did he say?

35:39Svarūpa Dāmodara: He said that the difficulty is to make the medicine. It takes time and...

35:51Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, that's...

36:05Kavirāja: Kidney, it is special.

36:07Svarūpa Dāmodara: It is for kidney, special. [looking at medicine]

36:07Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Phew. What is it made from? What is that made from? Śrīla Prabhupāda, Shastrijī has made very nice medicine for you—very, very nice. What is that from? Kavirāja = [Hindi] Twenty-two.

36:33Svarūpa Dāmodara: Twenty-two ingredients.

36:37Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Distilled. [Hindi]

36:39Kavirāja: Distilled water.

36:41Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No one will take the time anymore these days. How is it given? How is this given? [Hindi]

36:56Svarūpa Dāmodara: Drink.

Dietary guidelines and physical symptoms

37:10One dose. One, once.

37:15Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Phew. This is the science. This is real medicine. It took him seven, eight hours, twenty-two ingredients distilled.

Spiritual significance and upcoming events

37:21He has to distill the water first. Twenty-two ingredients. It's very nice, isn't it. [Hindi]

38:18Kavirāja: Bhakti-caru: Śrīla Prabhupāda? [Prabhupāda drinks medicine] [Hindi with kavirāja]

38:58Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is for the kidneys? [Hindi]

39:00Kavirāja: Vṛkka-sañjīvanī. [Hindi] Bhakti-caru: Vṛkka. V-r-i-k-k-a. Urdu. [Hindi] Bhakti-caru: The Sanskrit name for kidney is vṛkka. Vṛkka-sañjīvanayarak.

39:21Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Vṛkka-sañjīvanī-aya Bhakti-caru: No, sañjīvanī-araka. Araka means extract, and sañjīvanī means... [Hindi] What does that mean? Extractive. Bhakti-caru: Yes. Extract, to revitalize the kidney.

39:51No, our medicine for revitalizing the kidney. [Hindi with Prabhupāda]

Development of sacred sites and residences

40:50Śrīla Prabhupāda, would you like a little soft kīrtana?
