Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here's Bhānu, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Oh! Yaśodānandana dāsa. I am very glad to see you. Keeping good health?
Bhānu: Yes.
Prabhupāda: That's nice.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You personally made Bhānu a devotee, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Took him with you.
Prabhupāda: He can worship Deity very good.
Upendra: In Hawaii he introduced very high standard of Deity worship, Bhānu did.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Gurukṛpā brought his Deities, little Gaura-Nitāi. He's wondering where will be a good place to keep them while he's here in Vṛndāvana.
Prabhupāda: The altar?
Gurukṛpā: No, that's not...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's difficult. He says...
Gurukṛpā: I'd like to bring them in daily for you to have darśana since you cannot go to the Deity.
Prabhupāda: No, I go.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda goes every day. Difficult to put 'em in here?
Prabhupāda: But very carefully it should be done.(?)
Gurukṛpā: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: His Deities. You have a lot of jewels with you.
Gurukṛpā: I can't keep them on the altar.
Prabhupāda: If you like, you can keep in private room also.
Gurukṛpā: Yes, that is better.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They've arranged a very big room for the men, the biggest room here, so it's practically like a temple room in itself. It's where the gurukula used to be.
Gurukṛpā: It is better. We cook separate for Them.
Prabhupāda: Cook separate?
Gurukṛpā: Just for the Deity.
Prabhupāda: That is not very good.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's not a big thing here to cook. Prabhupāda just closed four kitchens down.
Prabhupāda: Patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyam (BG 9.26). No cooking. Tulasī and jala. You can offer little fruits, nuts, milk. No need of cooking. Takes much time. I want here no hired... But for the Deities and the devotees it is false.(?) Their association is bad. Make some arrangement so that you can avoid hired cooks unless it is absolutely necessary. The hired cook, they are most wretched people.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, it's about twelve-twenty. Maybe you want to take your message now.
