1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Gopurams.
Morning Walk -- April 13, 1976, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: We have already constructed for our residential quarters. That is already there, very big. Such a big building is not there in that district.

Indian man (1): (Hindi)

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Actually, Prabhupāda is doing everything. We are simply like puppets. He tells us what to do. Transcendental management.

Indian man (2): Śrīla Prabhupāda? Just in Bombay, what you are constructing, the gate, are they going to be like another Indian temples, only gates? Will they look like a big temple?

Dr. Patel: You mean those.... (Hindi) In south we have got those temples, gates. That is only common in southern India but not anywhere else. Gopurams.

Prabhupāda: Gopurams.

Dr. Patel: Gopurams are not found anywhere else.

Indian man (2): (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: (Hindi)

Dr. Patel: Raṅganātha temple is in Vṛndāvana or in south?

Prabhupāda: No, original, south. Here in Vṛndāvana also there is...

Dr. Patel: That was the temple where this, I mean, Rāmānujācārya, they would.... That is Śrī Raṅgapuram. (break)

Prabhupāda: Not at all. It is a business.

Dr. Patel: People give them money.

Prabhupāda: No, no, that money is utilized for business. They are so businessman that people go and sacrifice their hair, and they are selling.

Dr. Patel: That I know. They are selling hair to foreign countries. Selling hair.

Prabhupāda: And they are investing money for so many business, not for preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Dr. Patel: No, they're establishing colleges and Sanskrit...

Prabhupāda: But college.... College is not Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Dr. Patel: Sanskrit Vidyālaya and Vedic institutions. They have one or two.

Indian (3): (Hindi)

Dr. Patel: You have gone for darśana? That side?

Prabhupāda: We met station platform, means...(?) That is another thing(?).

Dr. Patel: Otherwise for common people, it is very difficult

Indian man (1): One man was waiting in a queue for four hours. Did not see. And he came back.

Dr. Patel: There is a fee. There is a fee for going.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: In some places, even if you have money, you cannot see, like Jagannātha.

Dr. Patel: They are fools, sir. You can go. I think one day I will have to go with them and fight out the whole case. These boys should be allowed. They follow the sanātana-dharma. And again in.... I mean, now the government has put the regulations that all the temples are open to all, anybody and everybody. How can they refuse? Who are at that maṭha, Jagannātha? Those people, they must be from Calcutta.
