That means you are spending hundred rupees, and the kitchen department, you are collecting eighty rupees. So twenty rupees lost. Hmm? So what is this business? What you are spending, you must collect also. Or balance you are eating?
Dhanañjaya: A few days ago a devotee donated three hundred rupees to the Deities.
Prabhupāda: Donated, that is all right. I am talking of the business.
Dhanañjaya: I see.
Prabhupāda: Donate . . . I may donate three thousand. But that is a different thing. But from practical point of view, you are spending hundred rupees per day, and you are collecting eighty rupees.

Prabhupāda: So why you are not making more and sell?
Dhanañjaya: No, during the week there are not so many people. Like yesterday Patita-pāvana was explaining that there was prasādam left over.
Prabhupāda: So you should know. You have experience when it is demand and more.
Dhanañjaya: Yes. That we know. We know the demand is at the weekends, and there's also some special festivals, so we make more prasādam for these occasions.
Indian man (1): There is another great demand for photos of . . . Almost everyone asks for photos of the Deities of the temple and of other places also. They all . . . the temples and Deities. Actually everyone asks for photos, nice photos.
