Prabhupāda: Hm?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: That new Gurukula picture that they had sent you in Illinois near Chicago? They have taken that.
Brahmānanda: It's a military school.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: A military school.
Prabhupāda: Oh. Military school or military barracks?
Brahmānanda: No, a military school.
Prabhupāda: What is the price?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: 420,000...?
Brahmānanda: Four fifty.
Prabhupāda: So they have paid?
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: They are going to pay 150,000 in January. It looks perfect for Gurukula.
Prabhupāda: How far? It is in Chicago?
Brahmānanda: It's about, I think, an hour and a half from Chicago by car.
Prabhupāda: Oh. It is a village.
Brahmānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: (break) ...the description?
Brahmānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: There are many buildings?
Brahmānanda: Oh, there's about nine buildings. There's a main administration building and classroom building. There is two new buildings. One is a dining hall that seats two hundred.
Prabhupāda: (to passerby) Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: (break) ...the Gujaratis would never keep dogs but now...
Prabhupāda: Now they are becoming civilized. (laughter) Advanced. (break) Therefore I made this trust: fifty percent, fifty percent.
Brahmānanda: So there will always be money for purchasing.
Prabhupāda: Yes. And because we are doing that, Kṛṣṇa is giving us facility. (break) ...ning how much difficulty we had. We could not purchase that house, number sixty street?
Brahmānanda: Yes. That was a hundred thousand dollars, that house.
Prabhupāda: No, no. Not hundred. Sixty. Sixty thousand dollars. Sixty thousand dollars, and still, we could not. Another attempt was made to purchase that bank building. So we had no money, only five thousand, and that was also taken away. (break)
Indian man (1): Do you believe in these (Hindi) and everything?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Indian man (1): (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Yes. Why not?
Indian man (1): Do you believe?
Prabhupāda: Why not? There are many gṛhastha devotees. Here is gṛhastha devotee.
Indian man (1): Thank you.
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break) ...which you want to set up, they are available, ready-made?
Saurabha: Some of them are ready, but we need about a hundred, so I don't think there will be one hundred ready. But if the order is placed in advance, then they will...
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Saurabha: If the order is placed in advance, then they will start making immediately. They can do that very fast.
Prabhupāda: So whatever ready-made we can purchase?
Saurabha: Well, it has to be the proper size also.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Yes. They can do it.
Saurabha: They have many men. They can very quickly carve those.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Brahmānanda: What is it you were saying?
Saurabha: Well, it's... Fixing has to be done.
Brahmānanda: Domes?
Saurabha: Domes, yes. Also the time will go in the domes.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Saurabha: Lot of time will go in the domes because there's many, many towers. Pillars is not so difficult. (break) ...two men have been making sketches on different designs for panels and columns, and as soon as you decide to pay, then they can start work immediately.
Prabhupāda: So we have decided. Do it.
Saurabha: Yes. It takes them about ten more days, fourteen days to get the drawings done. It will be all done in Makrana. They carve it there. They won't do it here. And then they bring it. Only small carvings will be done. There they have all facilities and many, many people.
Prabhupāda: Yes. They have kaligarhs. (?)
Saurabha: Very quickly that will be done.
