Room Conversation -- January 3, 1977, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: Anyway, we have got such huge establishment. Utilize it very properly, everywhere. Another thing, that in Vṛndāvana... You remember the corner land, Parikra-arasta(?)?

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Ah, yes.

Prabhupāda: That is available by acquirement.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: The corner land to the left? Left of Gurukula? Or...

Prabhupāda: No, Gurukula... When we go to the chuni(?), in front of...

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Ha, ha, ha. In that direction.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is agricultural land.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Right opposite.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Hari-śauri: Where that gate is.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Right before the gate. That is... I was under the impression that belonged to some Christian man.

Prabhupāda: No, no, no. That is first.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: That is further.

Prabhupāda: After crossing the road, the corner.

Hari-śauri: Where the parikrama path is.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: That is available for...?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Actually, that would be good if we get that. It's right next to our temple.

Prabhupāda: So why not try for that? You can get it, I am sure.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay. I'm going to Vṛndāvana in ten days.

Prabhupāda: So if we can get that land, then we can divert our sewer in the land and utilize it for nice agricultural purposes. So instead of spending lakh of rupees for Municipality, why not acquire that land?

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Acquire, or buy? Acquire.

Prabhupāda: Acquire means you have to pay, but government...

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, but acquire usually takes a long time.

Prabhupāda: Not long time. They'll give us, because it is lying vacant.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: On the sewage problem in Vṛndāvana, we'll have to make..., do something quickly, because even the Gurukula will not be able to open till we can...

Prabhupāda: So you can do it immediately. But go on, purchase. It is lying vacant.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay, that's a very good idea. But we'll still have to put a pipe underground coming out.

Prabhupāda: That is not much. A few yards only. And then introduce it and distribute that water, the whole land, and you will get good agricultural produce, very good. You can have very good business.

Hari-śauri: That can be used for agriculture?

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. This water is very valuable for agricultural purpose. Nature has made in such a way. Aiye. All rejected water, you can utilize for agriculture.

Hari-śauri: I think in the West they have a law that says you can't use human sewage.

Prabhupāda: Kick out the West. (laughter) We are doing here, in India. The Municipality is doing that also in Vṛndāvana. Everywhere it is. In Calcutta there is called dhāpāra māṭha. Dhāpāra māṭha... Formerly, anything produced in dhāpāra māṭha, that was not used for Deity. The superstition, that "These vegetables are grown in filthy water, nasty..." But the vegetables were... Cauliflower, so big, so big. Everything, very luxuriantly, very tasteful and solid and big. Dhāpāra māṭhera (Bengali). Yes. In Bengal, generally, the land is very fertile to produce vegetables. But this, the more the filthy things of the city were thrown there, and the cultivator used to grow very nice. That is utilization of this filthy water, where there was sewer ditches formerly. In the village they diverted from the water in the field, and they got good crops. Generally they pass stool in the field.
