Prabhupāda: It was a very good place. This Prabhākāra helped me. Ninety percent was . . . but if I did not leave, nobody could drive me, that was a fact. But I thought, "Who is going to . . . for litigation? She is the governor's wife, and she is pressing through collectors, through . . ." The manager who was in charge, he had some cinema house. So they had to renew the license, cinema house. And the collector pressed him that, "Unless you arrange for this house, we are not going to renew your license." So I thought, "Unnecessarily this man will be in trouble. I'll have to pay so many rupees, and she is governor's wife." And that lady came to me in Bombay several times: "You take my press. You have got so many publications." So I said: "I can take your press. I have got money. But what shall I do with it? It is letterpress. Now printing is done by offset." That press, Associated Press, it is very good press. It was . . . they got so many government contracts. The whole telephone guides were printed there. But because it is letterset press, it is costly. The government got offset press, cheaper price. So that contract was cancelled. So for her nefarious activity she is punished. Her husband died. She has no more importance, and she was one of the trustees of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. So she was exempted. Now she's an ordinary woman. Press is not working.
Gargamuni: All they have is that Bhavan's Journal.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Gargamuni: Nobody reads that.
Jayapatākā: You say she was kicked out from the trusteeship. She's not part of that any more.
Prabhupāda: Yes. The other trustees said that "You are simply spending. What you are doing?" After all, when she was wife of the governor she had some prestige. Otherwise . . . she invited me in that Juhu. She has got a house in Juhu. So I told her, "Yes, I can purchase your press. Fifty lakhs is not very big amount for me, but what shall I do? We are printing offset." That is the cause . . . because nowadays printing is done by offset press, she lost all business. People got big, big contract, they got cheaper and better quality. Why they should stick to that press? And government contract was taken from them, big, huge business they lost. Tata Press, they have got offset. Government transferred there. And that was her main support. It was a nice, good press. Practically best press in Bombay, Associated Press. But because it is letter press . . . now to maintain the letter press is very costly.
Jayapatākā: Yes. You have to get new type every year, and that is very costly.
Prabhupāda: Nowadays there is no need of letters, I mean to say . . .
Jayapatākā: Type.
Prabhupāda: Type.
Gargamuni: No. They have special . . . (break) . . . on all the equipment.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Gargamuni: That is not so much for the amount of books that they have been able to produce in such a short time.
Prabhupāda: We can produce one book daily, the machines are so expert.
Jayapatākā: They do outside work as well?
Gargamuni: What for? We have unlimited . . .
Prabhupāda: Why? Botheration. You have to satisfy your customer, waste time. We keep our machine for our own work.
Gargamuni: We have so many books. As soon as we print a new book, the previous book is out of print; we have to print again.
Prabhupāda: The first machine introduced by you, yes.
Gargamuni: Oh, the mimeograph. (laughs)
Prabhupāda: Then other machines came. I did not know, but I was thinking that if some typist would hear my tapes and type, I was thinking like that. Expert typist. Formerly, it was being done like that. Hear, tape recorder. You hear something and then type. Like that. And this machine, you shall, it is, automatically, you hear and type, hear and type.
Jayapatākā: This is made for that.
Prabhupāda: Yes. This is the advancement on that idea, Dictaphone. Telephone. And the dictation of the author, he's hearing and typing. Nowadays everyone is using. The doctors even dictate prescription. The doctor, instead of sending note, he dictates for such and such patient, "He should receive this, take like that." That is recorded. Another, another, and immediately taken, and the compounder hears and . . . no writing.
Jayapatākā: Actually you are dictating the prescription for the whole world.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Bhavauṣadhi chrotra-mano-'bhirāmāt (SB 10.1.4) And prescription is so sweet it pleases the ear and the heart. That is stated in the Bhāgavata. Bhavauṣadhi chrotra-mano-'bhirāmāt. It is medicine for this material disease. At the same time, it is so pleasing to the ear and the heart. This is the very word. Bhavauṣadhi chrotra. Śrotra means aural. Śrotra-manaḥ, and mind. Mano 'bhirāmāt. Abhirāma, pleasing.
Jayapatākā: After rainy season you'll be coming to Māyāpur, then?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
