Prabhupāda: All very aristocratic, very aristocratic. What is aristocracy, that is displayed there.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Those people, they always used to look from the outside in, but they were never allowed to come in. The people from that neighborhood, they used to stare within, wondering what is inside there. Now, since we have come, we have opened our gates and doors and said, "Please come." Oh, they're very much happy to come in and see everything.
Prabhupāda: They're grave. They behave very nicely.
Rāmeśvara: Tourists.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There's two boat docks underneath for boats to come, underneath the house. They're eighty foot long, two boat docks, to come in their boats right into the house.
Prabhupāda: The boats were sold by cheating our . . . Who was in charge of that?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Er . . . Govardhana dāsa.
Prabhupāda: No, GBC?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Jaga . . .
Rāmeśvara: Jayatīrtha is now.
Prabhupāda: Jagadīśa.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Jagadīśa.
Devotee: (aside:) He sold the boats?
Prabhupāda: He made some profit. Actually the boat belonged to the house. Anyway, palace is palace. Very big, big rooms. Now it would have cost ten million dollars. And we have paid only three percent of ten million. Is it not? Three hundred thousand?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: Govardhana wants to have dolls on the outside grounds.
Prabhupāda: Do. Yes, very good. You do.
Rāmeśvara: 'Cause they have so much lands, so right outside the temple there'll be doll exhibits for all the tourists.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, we saw something like that in Hrishikesh. Just recently we went to Hrishikesh, and in one āśrama they have doll exhibits of all the avatāras. Oh, it was very . . . Of all kṛṣṇa-līlā. And each doll exhibit is within a little temple, dome-shaped temple. People go and look, and there's a plaque which describes what it is. Very nice.
Rāmeśvara: We'll have more than a plaque.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, that whole thing costs a thousand dollars, not a quarter of a million.
Prabhupāda: Doll exhibition you can have in this temple also. People will come to see.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Along the side?
Prabhupāda: Where is suitable.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Actually, there's room up front where the water, the water fountain carrier, when you enter. There's a lot of open space there.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Now you can go and take rest. Again you can come at one. What is the time now?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Nine-twenty.
Prabhupāda: That's all.
Devotees: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda! (obeisances)
Prabhupāda: Make just this garland . . . (break). . . keep hair. Look very beautiful by keeping hair. What is that explanation?
Bhāgavata: I was advised that because I was going to the European countries for preaching for some time, that . . .
Prabhupāda: But they, they, they . . .
Bhāgavata: . . . it would be required to keep these hairs.
Prabhupāda: . . . owned victory with the court by keeping shaven hair.
Hari-śauri: They won a victory in the court by keeping a shaven head.
Bhāgavata: I asked their advice, whether I should shave or keep the hair.
Prabhupāda: Who is that nonsense advice? Who is that rascal? "Advice." By keeping hair you become beautiful and become victimized. "Advice." This is . . . Without advice, this mentality is going on outside, to keep hair. We are known as shaven hair, whole society.
Hari-śauri: I've been shaving mine about every . . . once a month. It's just about three weeks since I've . . .
Prabhupāda: Every fortnight.
Hari-śauri: Every fortnight.
Prabhupāda: At least. Before going to Europe, six years ago, you were keeping hair again: "I have to go to Europe." That I have seen. Everywhere. Those who . . . You like to keep hair. That hippie mentality is going on. That's right. That is good, very intelligent reasoning, actual, long hair by keeping . . .(?) Everyone is giving some advice. Gurudāsa is giving. "He's keeping. He's . . ." Gargamuni. Everyone has some explanation. I do not know how you can give up this hippie mentality. Hippie. Lāvaṇyaṁ keśa-dhāraṇam (SB 12.2.6). Kali-yuga. Victim of Kali-yuga. It is . . . It is not yet whole, but weak men, victimized by Kali-yuga . . . There are so many things to victimize over the living entities in Kali-yuga, and one of the item is that he will take it that "I have become very, very beautiful, attractive, by keeping long hair." Keśa. That is already stated there. You are victimized by that Kali-yuga. That's all. No explaining. Our trademark is clean-shaven. We are known as shaven hair. Why you should be victimized? You are known as shaven hair. Are you not? Hmm? They say that "Hare Kṛṣṇa people, shaven hair"?
Hari-śauri: Shaven-headed.
Prabhupāda: Shaven hair. So why you should be victimized by keeping hair? What victory you will gain? Conquer over the whole world, Roman Empire, by keeping hair? Hippie mentality, that's all. That is within the core of the heart. As soon as you get some opportunity . . . Just like during summer season the field appears to be dried up. And as soon as there is some rain, oh, it is green, immediately green. So things are already there. Hmm? Is it not?
Hari-śauri: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Now you see to the field. They're all dry. But as soon as there will be rain in the village, all green. So the seeds are there, hippie seeds. As soon as there is some opportunity, come out, green: "Yes, I am beautiful. Come on." But in the courtroom they never addressed. Judge never asked that "Why you are shaven-headed?" Was there any question like that?
Hari-śauri: Actually, when he first went to court, they were wondering why he had hair.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Hari-śauri: When Ādi-keśava went to court the first time . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Hari-śauri: . . . he had suit and hair, and they wondered why he was dressed like that.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Then cheater.
Hari-śauri: Yeah, they accused . . .
Prabhupāda: That means, of course, indirectly hinted that "Now you are cheating. You are known as shaven-headed. Now you have kept hair. What is the purpose except cheating?"
Hari-śauri: On saṅkīrtana all the distributors wear wigs and like that to . . . because it's much easier to distribute, to distribute books.
Prabhupāda: I do not know all this. Formerly, shaven-headed, they used to distribute. Now it is not possible.
Hari-śauri: It's increased since they did plainclothes distribution.
