Jayapatākā: In this part of India it's very cold now for Your Divine Grace.
Prabhupāda: Underneath the tree it is not cold.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You sound like you are very determined to go, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Daytime we expose in the sunshine, and camp underneath a tree at night. That has to be arranged. (Bengali with Bhakti-caru-Prabhupāda drinks something)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, should the devotees take prasādam now?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's about 1:30 now. After taking prasādam we can meet and chalk out a program for parikrama and tīrtha-yātrā. Is that all right? Okay.
Prabhupāda: I thought you have taken.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, we were all surrounding you, listening very intently to all your instructions.
Jagadīśa: Prasādam has been saved for the devotees that are here.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Three o'clock we'll meet. So we'll have our meeting, Śrīla Prabhupāda, with Lokanātha also present.
Jagadīśa: Satsvarūpa also.
Prabhupāda: Four o'clock.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hm? Yes. And then we'll begin tomorrow. Is that soon enough?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Hm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Should we depart for taking prasādam now, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.
Prabhupāda: Who is attending?
Bhavānanda: Upendra.
Prabhupāda: Upendra is very good attendant. (break)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We were discussing how to make this parikrama possible, and we've concluded that the best thing was, as we said earlier, to parikrama around Vṛndāvana to begin with. And for that purpose we sent Lokanātha Mahārāja and Pañca-draviḍa Mahārāja and Trivikrama Mahārāja to get a bullock cart ready.
Prabhupāda: Hired or purchased?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, for now just hired, not purchased. Later on we can make a more permanent arrangement, and it can be fixed up as nicely as possible. At the same time while we were meeting, the kavirāja, he also was present. So we inquired from him what he thought about this program, from a medical point of view of course. Spiritually he is in complete agreement. So from a medical point of view, he said that you would not at all be able to withstand this kind of a trip. He said that in a bullock cart, moving around, bumping on the road, you might not be able to live more than a couple of hours. He's here now. He wanted to speak to you.
