1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

My Guru Maharaja is very pleased. As soon as a book comes out, he is pleased. I never stressed on temple. I was engaged in publishing the Back to Godhead. Whatever I could do, I did it because I took it very seriously that he is very sorry that these things were not done.


Room Conversation -- July 26, 1976, London:

Prabhupāda: Yes, but still, I am saying: "This will be all failure." And still, they are hopeful. My Guru Mahārāja is very pleased. As soon as a book comes out, he is pleased.

Jayatīrtha: Especially one so beautiful.

Prabhupāda: He was lamenting that, "These men, they did not make . . . publish any number of books. They are simply after this stone and bricks." He condemned. He was very, very sorry. So I thought that I must take a risk. And he's pleased.

Bhagavān: So now you have books and temples. (laughs)

Prabhupāda: Yes, temple is automatically.

Jayatīrtha: Without fighting, you've got so many temples.

Prabhupāda: No, I never stressed on temple. I was engaged in publishing the Back to Godhead. Whatever I could do, I did it, because I took it very seriously that he is very sorry that these things were not done. He said that, "There will be fire in this Gauḍīya Math." Āgun jvālbe, he said. Amar iccha chilo kichu boi kare yaoar: "If I can, I shall sell these marbles of this temple and convert them into books." That was his ambition. He started a very nice press, and this Tīrtha Mahārāja sold it.

Jayatīrtha: Sold it?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bhagavān: The press.

Prabhupāda: He's not representing Guru . . . "Better let's have money for fight in the court."

Jayatīrtha: Sometimes I'm sorry that my name also has this word in it. (laughs)

Prabhupāda: You are Jaya-tīrtha. You are victorious. Now whatever is being done, it is by his blessing. Let us work sincerely. Things will be all . . . otherwise it is humanly impossible. It is by his grace.
