Mr. Patnaik: Have you given up any idea about Kurukṣetra?
Prabhupāda: No, no, not . . .
Mr. Patnaik: No, because if you have the idea, the land is the least part of it, because so much is to be done. . . . (indistinct) . . . if the idea is that something should be done. I learned that gentleman, Mr. . . . (indistinct) . . . and he has said that he will do something. I was not there at the time of the . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: (aside) You bring one little plate prasādam from there, from that . . .
Mr. Patnaik: And you will be in Vṛndāvana for some . . .
Prabhupāda: Three weeks.
Mr. Patnaik: After that you don't know. After that where you go, you don't know.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Mr. Patnaik: Well, this is God's work, Lord Kṛṣṇa's work. I am trying . . . (indistinct) . . . to cooperate with you, because nobody can do.
Prabhupāda: No, you have done tremendous work.
Mr. Patnaik: No, but which is very little considering the situation, the condition, problem in the country. I am at a lower level than your level than your work . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: The one encouraging thing in this movement is that our books are being very much appreciated. In all universities, foreign and Indian, libraries, professors, learned scholars.
Mr. Patnaik: Yes, they'll branch out and then . . . it's a great service.
Prabhupāda: We are selling books to the extent of sixty thousand dollars daily.
Mr. Patnaik: I see.
Prabhupāda: That is our only hope, that we shall not be financially in difficulty. People are taking our books very nicely. People are accepting our literature.
Mr. Patnaik: It is not that difficulties were not there also . . . (indistinct) . . . I don't have the support, but I feel . . . (indistinct) . . . find that several places the demand for this, for the acceptance also . . . (indistinct) . . . coming forward, but not in the manner in which I had wanted . . . (indistinct) . . . lakhs of people stand against the forces which want to . . . (indistinct) . . . religion and moral side. There should be a linking up of all those who want religion to remain and morality to also be there. Those forces have to be met by also organized force from the right kind of people, religious people . . . (indistinct) . . . I hope they are not coming in your way.
Prabhupāda: No, no.
Mr. Patnaik: I remember that you had written yourself that there is something we could do together. Possibly this question, building and all that, whenever it comes there. It is good to have that building and that land, but even before that, there is work to be done at the Kurukṣetra.
Prabhupāda: My point is that Kurukṣetra is the place where Bhagavad-gītā was spoken. So if we take the words of Bhagavad-gītā as it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, then people will be benefitted.
