Prabhupāda: He made some profit. Actually the boat belonged to the house. Anyway, palace is palace. Very big, big rooms. Now it would have cost ten million dollars. And we have paid only three percent of ten million. Is it not? Three hundred thousand?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: Govardhana wants to have dolls on the outside grounds.
Prabhupāda: Do. Yes, very good. You do.
Rāmeśvara: 'Cause they have so much lands, so right outside the temple there'll be doll exhibits for all the tourists.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, we saw something like that in Hrishikesh. Just recently we went to Hrishikesh, and in one āśrama they have doll exhibits of all the avatāras. Oh, it was very . . . Of all kṛṣṇa-līlā. And each doll exhibit is within a little temple, dome-shaped temple. People go and look, and there's a plaque which describes what it is. Very nice.
Rāmeśvara: We'll have more than a plaque.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, that whole thing costs a thousand dollars, not a quarter of a million.
Prabhupāda: Doll exhibition you can have in this temple also. People will come to see.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Along the side?
Prabhupāda: Where is suitable.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Actually, there's room up front where the water, the water fountain carrier, when you enter. There's a lot of open space there.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Now you can go and take rest. Again you can come at one. What is the time now?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Nine-twenty.
Prabhupāda: That's all.
Devotees: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda! (obeisances)
Prabhupāda: Make just this garland . . . (break). . . keep hair. Look very beautiful by keeping hair. What is that explanation?
Bhāgavata: I was advised that because I was going to the European countries for preaching for some time, that . . .
Prabhupāda: But they, they, they . . .
Bhāgavata: . . . it would be required to keep these hairs.
Prabhupāda: . . . owned victory with the court by keeping shaven hair.
Hari-śauri: They won a victory in the court by keeping a shaven head.
Bhāgavata: I asked their advice, whether I should shave or keep the hair.
Prabhupāda: Who is that nonsense advice? Who is that rascal? "Advice." By keeping hair you become beautiful and become victimized. "Advice." This is . . . Without advice, this mentality is going on outside, to keep hair. We are known as shaven hair, whole society.
Hari-śauri: I've been shaving mine about every . . . once a month. It's just about three weeks since I've . . .
Prabhupāda: Every fortnight.
Hari-śauri: Every fortnight.
Prabhupāda: At least. Before going to Europe, six years ago, you were keeping hair again: "I have to go to Europe." That I have seen. Everywhere. Those who . . . You like to keep hair. That hippie mentality is going on. That's right. That is good, very intelligent reasoning, actual, long hair by keeping . . .(?) Everyone is giving some advice. Gurudāsa is giving. "He's keeping. He's . . ." Gargamuni. Everyone has some explanation. I do not know how you can give up this hippie mentality. Hippie. Lāvaṇyaṁ keśa-dhāraṇam (SB 12.2.6). Kali-yuga. Victim of Kali-yuga. It is . . . It is not yet whole, but weak men, victimized by Kali-yuga . . . There are so many things to victimize over the living entities in Kali-yuga, and one of the item is that he will take it that "I have become very, very beautiful, attractive, by keeping long hair." Keśa. That is already stated there. You are victimized by that Kali-yuga. That's all. No explaining. Our trademark is clean-shaven. We are known as shaven hair. Why you should be victimized? You are known as shaven hair. Are you not? Hmm? They say that "Hare Kṛṣṇa people, shaven hair"?
Hari-śauri: Shaven-headed.
Prabhupāda: Shaven hair. So why you should be victimized by keeping hair? What victory you will gain? Conquer over the whole world, Roman Empire, by keeping hair? Hippie mentality, that's all. That is within the core of the heart. As soon as you get some opportunity . . . Just like during summer season the field appears to be dried up. And as soon as there is some rain, oh, it is green, immediately green. So things are already there. Hmm? Is it not?
Hari-śauri: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Now you see to the field. They're all dry. But as soon as there will be rain in the village, all green. So the seeds are there, hippie seeds. As soon as there is some opportunity, come out, green: "Yes, I am beautiful. Come on." But in the courtroom they never addressed. Judge never asked that "Why you are shaven-headed?" Was there any question like that?
Hari-śauri: Actually, when he first went to court, they were wondering why he had hair.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Hari-śauri: When Ādi-keśava went to court the first time . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Hari-śauri: . . . he had suit and hair, and they wondered why he was dressed like that.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Then cheater.
Hari-śauri: Yeah, they accused . . .
Prabhupāda: That means, of course, indirectly hinted that "Now you are cheating. You are known as shaven-headed. Now you have kept hair. What is the purpose except cheating?"
Hari-śauri: On saṅkīrtana all the distributors wear wigs and like that to . . . because it's much easier to distribute, to distribute books.
Prabhupāda: I do not know all this. Formerly, shaven-headed, they used to distribute. Now it is not possible.
Hari-śauri: It's increased since they did plainclothes distribution.
Prabhupāda: Encourages?
Hari-śauri: Yeah. The distribution has increased.
Prabhupāda: Then why don't you dress like European? Half foreign dress and half hair? Who is that foreign and European and gentleman? What is the use of the wig? Keep regular gentleman's hair. There is no need of saffron dress. If by ordinary dress you can sell more book, there is no need of saffron dress. So what is the time now?
Gargamuni: Nine-thirty.
Bhavānanda: Kīrtana, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Bhavānanda: Kīrtana?
Prabhupāda: What is that?
Bhavānanda: Would you like to have kīrtana now?
Prabhupāda: Yes. (kīrtana) (break) . . . come directly, brāhmaṇas sometimes brahmacārī, gṛhastha. That will impress. (break) . . .hodgepodge. Respect is no. Idea is become a leader. He'll do. He'll do. There must be some strong men. Tilaka always must be there. That is our great standard. Kaṇṭhī-mālā. Every fifteen days you should be cleansed. (break) . . . (indistinct) . . . Don't be . . . (indistinct) . . . in all this. Go on very nicely. Śrī kṛṣṇa caitanya prabhu nityānanda, śrī advaita gadādhara śrīvāsa . . . (break)
Gargamuni: Well, we only printed two Oriya books. Both were printed in Calcutta so far, because there's one Oriya printer there. Gaura-Govinda Mahārāja is investigating completely the . . . We went around investigating the presses in Cuttack and Bhuvaneśvara, if we might get some cheaper or easier price. It appears that some things we can do cheaper there, like the inside part, but cover cannot do cheaper there.
Prabhupāda: Cover you can get there, cover.
Gargamuni: In Bombay we might be able to do cover much cheaper, and then the inside cheaper in Orissa. That we have . . .
Prabhupāda: Better quality also.
Gargamuni: It is a good quality, similar quality. They agreed, they could get same paper as we had in previous books, but that for printing cover that would be very difficult, they acknowledged.
Prabhupāda: And tell, we can get from Bombay cover.
Gargamuni: Oh. But I had written you in the report that out of the first twenty thousand we have printed, still 18,500 are remaining.
Prabhupāda: So not selling?
Gargamuni: Because we have very few men. So now Gaura-Govinda is taking on bullocks cart. He'll go to the villages, and he'll distribute. Then some portion of what I will collect, I will put in . . . I have separate account for book fund and one for construction. Some portion I'll put in book fund. Then we'll print, and I will bring . . .
Prabhupāda: No, you gave money. I can give you. There is Book Trust.
Gargamuni: I just feel . . .
Prabhupāda: No.
Gargamuni: . . . that so many books are there I have not distributed yet. I will print more and . . .
Prabhupāda: No, no. This will come out. Very good idea. Sell.
Gargamuni: Sell first; then print. I should first sell . . .
Prabhupāda: No, at least you must have three, four varieties.
Gargamuni: Right now we have two varieties.
Prabhupāda: So make it four varieties. That will be first class. Don't print twenty thousand. Print five thousand.
Gargamuni: I have asked Gaura-Govinda to come. He'll be coming in one or two days.
Prabhupāda: There is no need of coming. This is . . . You must have at least four, five varieties. And money, if there is scarcity, ask Gopāla. He'll give you money. Then sell and return.
