Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Living will also be glorious.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Let us see. As Kṛṣṇa desires. All right. Thank you. Would you like to send to that Navadvīpa astrologer?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, I'm going to write to Jayapatākā this evening. I'll give him the information.

Prabhupāda: You have got the janma?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes. I'll have Abhirāma write this . . . what he has given, I'll have him write it up and add it to that other report. I have a file I'm keeping in case you wanted to hear again. Pradyumna is here, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Would you like to hear Caitanya-caritāmṛta?

Prabhupāda: That means another . . . that means he's born half-dead. But can you give life? You are scientist. You give him.
