Prabhupāda: Godless civilization. Sinful activities. The reaction will increase—no rainfall, scarcity of food grains, and government taxes. These are written in Bhāgavata. Anāvṛṣṭi-durbhikṣa kara-pīḍitāḥ (SB 12.2.9). Government will exact tax more and more.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: There was a scientific study done by the CIA in America, this study done by the CIA on world weather conditions. And they concluded that the world weather conditions will only get worse and worse. There's going to be drought every three, four years, and so there will not be food production.
Prabhupāda: It is predicted in the Bhāgavata five thousand years ago.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. They're having earthquakes in China now.
Hari-śauri: Yes, big ones. They say a million people died in the last one.
Prabhupāda: You have got the keys for that?
Hari-śauri: I think they're . . . that last set that I gave you, Śrīla Prabhupāda? These, yes.
Prabhupāda: Now print books many, as good as possible, and distribute. Let us do our duty.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We have three small Hindi books in production, plus as I said, Hindi Back to Godhead.
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Hari-śauri: Oh. This silver loṭā has become very black. You can get it polished.
Prabhupāda: See if there is . . .
Hari-śauri: If there's . . .?
Prabhupāda: If there is worms.
Hari-śauri: I was just looking in the corners. There's some spiders, I think, and there's some signs again of worms. Some powdered remains and things like that.
Prabhupāda: So we shall . . .
Hari-śauri: So I think if we do it once more then it should be finished.
Indian boy: I come from Tanzania, Dar-es-Salaam.
Hari-śauri: That's in Africa.
Indian boy: Yes. And we are the Life Member of ISKCON. You know Navayogendra dāsa of Nairobi? Now he is transferred in Mombassa.
Prabhupāda: Navayogendra, yes.
Indian boy: Yes, he came there between 1975 or 1974 and he made us the member. He's now in Mombassa.
Prabhupāda: Ācchā. So when you have come here?
Hari-śauri: When have you come here?
Indian boy: Here? We just came for a holiday trip.
Prabhupāda: Where you are staying?
Indian boy: In Malad.
Prabhupāda: So come tomorrow at five.
Indian boy: At five. Do you have the Hare Kṛṣṇa Cookbook?
Prabhupāda: Ask him . . .
Hari-śauri: If you like, go out there now and see Girirāja. He's the president. He'll fix you up. Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Indian boy: Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Hari-śauri: Get some prasādam when you go.
Indian boy: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So cleanse this.
Hari-śauri: This spittoon? They . . . oh. They've put one here, actually. This is the bathing loṭā, but there's one here also. Oh, they used this for bathing your feet. This is a new loṭā for drinking until . . . I'll clean this silver one.
(long pause)
Prabhupāda: This is spittoon?
Hari-śauri: Yes. (break)
Prabhupāda: So? What fruit you have got?
Hari-śauri: I'll go and check.
Prabhupāda: Ask somebody to call Saurabha.
Pālikā: Yes.
Prabhupāda: What is this?
Pālikā: Some sweet one girl has made here.
Prabhupāda: Not everyone should make. She is initiated?
Pālikā: Yes. I will generally make, but I just arrived today, so there was not time.
