Room Conversation -- September 5, 1976, Vrndavana:

Prabhupāda: That's it. So we cannot pay more than five thousand.

Akṣayānanda: For eating?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Akṣayānanda: Then clothing is more? Clothing is more? Maintenance?

Prabhupāda: No, everything. Hundred rupees per head. You do not require to collect. I shall pay five thousand.

Harikeśa: There should be a budget here.

Prabhupāda: Budget is there. Hundred rupees per head. Fifty men if you keep, it is five thousand.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We can keep less. We don't want fifty.

Akṣayānanda: At least one hour in the temple.

Prabhupāda: Why one hour? Four hours. Four hours. Four times. Morning, evening, night, morning again.

Akṣayānanda: Already, the rule is made...
