Translator: He says we're always forcing him to take prasadam. This is not freedom. (laughter)
Prabhupada: Yes, this child has to be forced to do something. For his interest.
Bhagavan: Prabhupada once gave the analogy sometimes when the horse is sick, the doctor takes the pill in the hand, he puts it down the throat.
Prabhupada: No, we are prepared. Just like horse is not prepared to take the medicine. But four men force him to take the medicine. Nobody was crying for this edition of Bhagavata, but we are forcing, "You must read. You must take." We are printing and forcing everyone. French edition, Bhagavata's edition, they were not dying for this book, but this is our force.
Translator: He says thank you for this first meeting, I hope we will meet again, and when we do I will make these books even look nicer.
Prabhupada: Very good. Do that. That will be service to Krsna. The more you...
Translator: He says he's making the effort in order to know better.
Prabhupada: That is nice.
Bhagavan: Tomorrow we have the schedule of events. At nine o'clock we begin with the initiations, and we'll have the purification with water, and Prthu-putra Maharaja is going to give the lecture on the ten offenses. Then everyone will come back in at ten o'clock and we'll have the bathing beginning then. And that, Jayatirtha and I figured'd be about an hour. So we thought that perhaps towards the end of that, maybe around quarter to eleven, you'd like to come down and either participate in the bathing or give lecture at that time. And then afterwards the Deities will go back on the altar and we'll give the names outside. Is that all right?
Jayatirtha: You don't have to come outside for giving the names.
Prabhupada: That's all right.
Devotees: Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: Give him this garland
Devotee: Srila Prabhupada, this is another admirer from Switzerland.
Hari-sauri: He can put it in some water, then it will blossom. (end)
