- Vedic culture, Srila Prabhupada, if there was illicit sex going on?... In Vedic culture, what would King Pariksit do?
- Vedic statement or is it just preference (I don`t like the sunshine so much, only at the time of massage)?
- Very big. But is that land available to us?

- Very nice. So shall we arrange for it (Parikrama)?
- Very successful (George's record) even with one boy, you see. That's success, isn't it?

- Visnu and Krsna-duta is same. Visnu and Krsna-duta is same thing or...?

- Wasn't that (Sir Jagadishacandra Bose) your father's friend?
- Way of life or aim of life (the real occupation-serving Krsna)?
- We also say that Krsna is fulfilling the desires of every living entity. So if we want to enjoy independent of Krsna, why doesn't He let us really enjoy independent of Him?

- We are imperfect. How do we know what a perfect source is?
- We are in God, and God is in us?
- We are only neophytes. How we can know if our anxiety is still material when we feel anxiety in devotional service?
- We are speaking now. We are making pictures of reality as we speak with our language, with our words. Do these words have more content in themselves, or are they simply pictures of reality?
- We are talking against material life, and why we are using microphones, tape recorders, airplanes?
- We are very small. One ten-thousandth part of a hair. Since we are unchangeable, does Krsna change His size to be the same size as us so that we can associate with Him when we go back to the spiritual world?

- We can make our own cloth? Khadi
- We can make such arrangement (big umbrella overhead)?
- We can pick up the bed and make it to face with your head towards Krsna-Balarama, which would be east. You have any objection?
- We can publish that and also our refutation (another point about this journal is that we will present controversial things, and people may want to write something to refute what we have said)
- We can see, Srila Prabhupada, by the distribution of wealth and minerals in each loka, in each planet, it is meant to be governed by one ruler. One place there is gold, one place grain to grow. Is this true?
- We can show these atomic rings?
- We can sit you up, Srila Prabhupada. That will make it easier to drink. Bhavananda Maharaja and myself are here. We can hold you up for a minute?… Is that all right, Srila Prabhupada? Should we hold you up for a minute?
- We can take care of cows, can't we?
- We can understand all of your instructions simply by reading your books?

- We can write a letter to the secretary of that institution and meeting, telling them what we intend to do... I can do it, but do you want us to do it or should Surabhi's office do it?
- We can't predict that the process of punishment will have permanent effect, can we? Can we predict that? Many prisoners leave the prison, but some come back
- We can't understand that it's green and that it grows (whatever nature is already there. Nature of the leaf is already there, but you cannot understand it by speculating)?
- We cannot create anything?
- We chant, "Gaura Nityananda bol, haribol, haribol..."... "Gaura sri advaita..." Is it recommended by you? That is in our parampara? And what about "jaya jagannatha, jaya jagannatha"?
- We could also have a passive relationship with Krsna, like a tree?
- We could rent it for wedding ceremonies, things like that also. ... What do you think, Srila Prabhupada?
- We couldn't find any barley. What can we use instead?
- We degenerated. So the Muslims degenerated. Americans will degenerate. Somebody else will degenerate. Is that sort of a will? No?
- We do not fight?
- We don't deny that Krsna exists, but, well, you know... Can I see him?
- We don't have a very good reputation in India?
- We had another practical consideration. We were thinking, could BBT publish the journal? BBT would publish the journal ("Sa-vijnanam, Journal of the Bhaktivedanta Institute")?
- We have a display over here in the window of your books, Srila Prabhupada... Would you like to see?

- We have come to the world as the servant of Lord Krsna, but then why should we think, why should we think that we are Krsna's?
- We have got our Punjabi samaj... You are already booked for Rajasthan? After that are you staying here?
- We have made the statement that we attain a certain amount of bliss by engaging in this Krsna consciousness process. Do we deny the fact that other people have attained similar bliss from doing other things?

- We have men who could teach this (varnasrama college) ? Do we have men...?

- We have some girls and they have asked us, they want to be married. What is our position?
- We have some grapes. Shall I get them?
- We have some nice pictures here of your Palace. Can you... Do you feel like seeing them now, or would you rather wait till some other time?
- We have some specific topics that we wanted to have Srila Prabhupada's instruction about these things that we are going to write ("The Origin of Life and Matter"). So shall I discuss them very briefly?
- We have talked to scientists who say that the size of the brain has nothing to do with intelligence. Do you believe that?
- We have, this temple has some daksina for you. How would you like me to do it? Today is Thursday. Would you like it in what form? Would you like us to invest it for you here, or give you the cash?

- We read in the Bhagavatam how in King Pariksit's, under his rule, the people, there was no place for the personality of Kali to live even though it was Kali-yuga. So is this possible even today?
- We saved twenty-five copies of that Times of India article about the court case in New York. Is there something you want done with those twenty-five articles?
- We saw a rose-colored light that was vibrating all around the food. Is this how He eats?
- We say that Krsna is present within the spiritual, within the heart of the living entity. As a person or as an energy?
- We say that there's one mind, sometimes mental impressions come that are stored... but in that storage area of the consciousness, there is no thinking going on there. Is that correct? The unconsciousness mind is not thinking like the conscious mind
- We see in the cities it's not, but in the villages, do they still have more than one wife?

- We shouldn't kill them. What about if they're biting you, right in the process of biting you?

- Well, doesn't it mean that someone has to worship that person to be able to attain the enlightenment or Krsna consciousness?

- Well, how do I find out?... Perhaps not. How do I find out that?... Can you tell me?

- Well, is the Krsna movement the driver or the car (first of all, understand the analogy. The car and the driver is always separated. The driver is not car, neither the car is the driver)?
- Well, isn't God just a craftsman also?
- Well, It's because of these things (as far as possible we do not go even to the doctor), that they're wondering well then, what do we do with the money?
