Bhavānanda: Viśāla said... I was asking him last night. He said that the most difficult people for selling books to are the Bengalis when they come. They're the most difficult. But everyone else, they are more receptive.
Prabhupāda: And Gītār Gān is taken, everyone who comes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: To Māyāpur.
Prabhupāda: Hm. That bābājī was telling.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, Bābājī, Kṛṣṇa dāsa.
Prabhupāda: He said that "In everyone's hand I see Gītār Gān."
Bhavānanda: Yes. (laughs) That's true. They take Gītār Gān and a Bhāgavata Darśana.
Śatadhanya: And they're anxious for the next issue.
Prabhupāda: They have already published twenty thousand.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Twenty thousand. Very good sale. Good scope in Bengal.
Prabhupāda: Hm. Everywhere. Two hundred men already subscribed. If we increase subscribers, many, many...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You like that idea?
Prabhupāda: Why not?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: When the boys are going village to village, if they get subscriptions, it's good?
Prabhupāda: Very good.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hm. That's a nice program. Anybody can afford it. What is a yearly subscription to the Bhāgavata Darśana?
Bhavānanda: Only one problem with Bhāgavata subscription is theft in the mail. It's very difficult to get it, for it to reach its destination.
Prabhupāda: No, they make contact. For twelve rupees they'll get twelve copies.
Bhavānanda: When they contact.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bhavānanda: That's good idea.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You mean they have to come and collect.
Bhavānanda: Yes. They come to the temple few times a year, once a year. They'll get their copies and go.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Then you have to keep them set aside with the person's name on it? That's not so hard. Just stick the person's name on it.
Bhavānanda: Or if someone's going on traveling saṅkīrtana in that area, 'cause we always know where they're going, they can take and deliver if they're going near. No problem. But the magazine is so attractive that the postal clerks, they cannot resist taking it home to their family. (laughs)
Prabhupāda: You can get advertisement. But we don't want it.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I don't think.... It diminishes the prestige of the publication. By Kṛṣṇa's grace we have no shortage of money.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Have it. So we shall construct a Yoga-pīṭha Bhaktivedanta Hall.
