Prabhupāda: I'll treat myself. Let the kavirājas come. And makara-dhvaja... One after another, they will make the things complicated. What is your opinion? Hm?
Bhavānanda: We all feel, Śrīla Prabhupāda, that your direction is absolutely perfect. It is coming directly from the spiritual platform. Therefore anything which you tell us to do, we want to do, and we have full faith and confidence that it is absolutely correct. But we don't have full faith and confidence in people who are materially conditioned. Therefore we have taken you as our spiritual master. You have perfect knowledge of everything spiritual and you have perfect knowledge of everything material.
Prabhupāda: So, all of you agree to this?
Bhavānanda: Do we all agree?
Devotees: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Then I will give direction. Simply I want to know about the makara-dhvaja, consulting both the kavirājas. (pause) Why you stop kīrtana?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Go ahead, Pañca. (kīrtana begins, Pañca-draviḍa sings slowly)
Prabhupāda: Mildly kīrtana.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Mild kīrtana, tell him.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Mild kīrtana.
Prabhupāda: Where is Haṁsadūta?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You want Haṁsadūta's kīrtana?
Prabhupāda: Bharadvāja or...
Bhavānanda: Bharadvāja.
Prabhupāda: Eh? They are avoiding?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: They are avoiding me.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They are avoiding?
Prabhupāda: Hm?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I don't think so.
Brahmānanda: Who is that?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bharadvāja and Haṁsadūta.
Pradyumna: Haṁsadūta was here at lunchtime.
Upendra: Bharadvāja came also. He was here most of the morning.
Brahmānanda: You were resting at that time.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They sang for nearly two or three hours.
Śatadhanya: And he said that as soon as you wake up, then he will come.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I don't think anyone is avoiding, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: I was just thinking that that doctor, it seems, doesn't know very well.
Prabhupāda: Then?
