1972 Conversations and Morning Walks

Oh, yes.
Room Conversation -- June 14, 1972, Los Angeles:

Prabhupāda: Whenever you find opportunity, you come and join with us.

John Fahey: Can we get some cymbals?

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.

John Fahey: I don't know where to get them.

Prabhupāda: (aside:) You don't have any cymbals for selling?

Devotee: Not tonight.

Prabhupāda: So, you can keep some stored.

Devotee: Yes. We've been waiting for shipment. They haven't arrived.

Prabhupāda: You can give him loan, he's anxious. You can give him these small ones. You take this.

John Fahey: Thank you. (sound of karatālas) (laughter)

Prabhupāda: I'll show you how to do it. Like this. (loud playing of karatālas) One, two, three-one, two, three. (showing how to play karatālas) It is not difficult. You are musician. Just play on meter: one, two, three-one, two, three.

John Fahey: Thank you.

Prabhupāda: For everything you have to learn from a guru. (laughter) Even for how to play. (more laughing) Yes: one, two, three. (more playing of karatālas)

John Fahey: Hey, those are nice bells, I mean cymbals. Oh, boy.

Prabhupāda: So sit down together whenever you find time, one, two, three play, and Hare Kṛṣṇa chant.

John Fahey: Okay. (plays more)

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Jaya Prabhupāda!

John Fahey: Thank you.

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Thank you. (offers obeisances)

John Fahey: John Fahey.

Prabhupāda: John.

Devotee: John.

Prabhupāda: Your name?
