Guest (3): In Surat . . . unable to permanently enter in Surat?
Prabhupāda: Yes. If you give us some place, we'll immediately open. Just like in Indore we had been. Somebody has given us a land. Not only land, but they are going to prepare a temple also there. And the residential quarters, we shall arrange to construct. So this land is about 400,000 square feet.
Guest (3): In Surat?
Prabhupāda: No, in Indore. Yes. So if we get place, we can start. Our program is international. And it is not difficult for us. We can start a branch even underneath a tree. We begin . . . I began in New York like that. I was chanting underneath a tree in a park. Yes.
Guest (4): . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. To the members, not to the public. It is very difficult for import-export, and sales tax, this, that, so many botheration government has created. Therefore our proposal is that . . .
(aside) Thank you.
We don't sell. No. Simply who becomes a member, we give him. You give us something, and whatever we have got, we give you. Business finished. Not finished, but business established. (laughs)
Then if you read our books, if you inquire, then we get opportunity to explain. And our distribution of books means that is indirectly propagating our mission. Yes. So therefore we have adopted this way, that only to the members.
Guest (3): Books are available . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: That's all. We have printed that, "These books are not for sale in India." Yes. Because the government, I mean to say, machine is so implicated—sale tax, this tax, that tax . . .
Guest (3): I want to put in India also. They are for sale there.
Prabhupāda: Because there we have no difficulty.
Haṁsadūta: There's difficulty with the authorities.
Guest (3): Not in India. You can sell it to England.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. We are selling.
