Room Conversation About Mayapura Construction -- August 19, 1976, Hyderabad:

Jayapatākā: Because some that are acclimatized, it is difficult for training up. A few people are better to stay there that are trained up on that basis. I think with Mr. Putnaik and others that... Because he also wants that Orissan development... They can understand that it is important to have one or two people that are known people stay there. If every two years a change is, that is disadvantage.

Prabhupāda: No, our Gaura-Govinda I think he is doing there nice.
