Śrutakīrti: Tamāla? Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted to see the candles.
Prabhupāda: Hm.
Śrutakīrti: These are what we've just started.
Prabhupāda: Oh.
Śrutakīrti: Starting Monday, they'll be selling these in Waikiki.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You want a light on, Śrīla Prabhupāda? They're really nice.
Śrutakīrti: These are small ones. They come to twice as big. These here we would sell for twelve dollars.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Śrutakīrti: And the bigger ones, they will sell for twenty-five dollars.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: People buy them?
Śrutakīrti: Yes. This works. And these cost about two dollars to make and about twenty minutes to carve.
Prabhupāda: Beautiful.
Śrutakīrti: There's a little science. They dip in all different color wax.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It actually costs two dollars to make, though.
Śrutakīrti: The wax. The wax is about two dollars' worth of wax. So it's very profitable. Especially in Hawaii and Waikiki it will be very lucrative business.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: How much you can make in one day, profit?
Śrutakīrti: Last year in Toronto they made seventy thousand dollars in two months, profit, during the Christmas season.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Hare Kṛṣṇa. Where is the scarcity of money? (laughter)
Śrutakīrti: Also it is a very excellent business for householders in our movement.
Prabhupāda: You American boys, you know how to earn money. Now you have learned how to spend it for Kṛṣṇa. It is wonderful.
Śrutakīrti: It is very nice, because when you burn the candle it only burns on the inside, so you can burn the candle and still keep this attractive...
Prabhupāda: Oh. Outer cover.
Śrutakīrti: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So you keep that permanently.
Prabhupāda: Oh, this is made of..., the outer portion is made of candle? No.
Śrutakīrti: Yes, all wax. Most of it is all just plain white wax, and then you have different color waxes, tanks of different colors so you'll dip it in one tank. You have to do that several times. And then they just get a knife and slit on different angles and twist it.
Prabhupāda: Something artistic, wonderful.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's really attractive. Gurukṛpā Mahārāja was telling me that the people, not just young people, but people of all ages are attracted to buying such a nice-looking thing. Even an old grandmother would be proud to have such a candle, not just young people. All ages, all types.
Prabhupāda: Get a new life all around. No depression, no hopelessness. Is it not? American boys and girls, they became so much depressed out of hopelessness. Now here is a life, future. Your latest Back to Godhead is very nice. (indistinct)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda liked that "Prabhupāda Speaks Out."
Prabhupāda: And now our Haṁsadūta is speaking.
Satsvarūpa: Yes, we're printing that, "Prabhupāda's Disciple Speaks Out." (laughter)
Prabhupāda: Yes, that title I gave you. He has cornered one Dr. Kovoor. You have read that?
Satsvarūpa: Yes.
