Prabhupāda: We can work little. (break) . . .here and sit down. (break) . . . is the spelling of your name Avirāma or Abhirāma?
Abhirāma: When you initiated me, Śrīla Prabhupāda, you, at least in the letter, it was spelled Avhi, Avhi. But generally you call me Abhi.
Prabhupāda: Avirāma means without tiresomeness.
Hari-śauri: Without what?
Abhirāma: Tiresomeness. (laughs)
Prabhupāda: And abhirāma means always chanting Rāma.
Abhirāma: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in the initiation letter you said that it means one who is affectionate to Rāma.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Always chanting.
Abhirāma: I should be always chanting.
Prabhupāda: Yes. It is a nasty world. (devotees chuckle) The only safety is to take shelter of Rāma. Harer nāma harer nāma . . . (CC Adi 17.21). Kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ (CC Adi 17.31). When there are so many material inconveniences . . . tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā (CC Adi 17.31). Very nasty world.
Yaśodānandana: Amāninā mānadena kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ (CC Adi 17.31).
Abhirāma: That Abhirāma, that is the associate of Mahāprabhu? That is different.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Abhirāma: There is one associate of Mahāprabhu, Abhirāma.
Prabhupāda: Both may be, Abhirāma or Avirāma. Both carries meaning. Abhirāma is better.
