Prabhupada: Very good.
Hari-sauri: It's very good. There's just a real short one about the university in Kuruksetra. It says, "Vedic Varsity for Kuruksetra Soon." "The first Vedic university will come up soon at Kuruksetra and will be affiliated to V.M. Cakravarty University. The proposed university is being set up by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, ISKCON, and will cost rupees two crore. Most of the funds will be provided by Mr. Alfred Ford, the nephew of the auto magnate Henry Ford. Mr. Ford, on becoming a disciple of Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of ISKCON, changed his name to Ambarisa dasa. The Vedic university will offer courses leading to bhakti-sastri and sarvabhauma."

Bhagavan: The garden crew, when they go out in the afternoon, they have kirtana out to the fields with mrdanga and karatalas where they work.
Prabhupada: You have to arrange for little more water so you can... The pump is not in order. You can arrange for that.
Bhagavan: Your water supply has been all right?
