1968 Conversations and Morning Walks

I was provided free passage in a shipping company.
Radio Interview -- March 12, 1968, San Francisco:

Caller: Yes, hello Swami. I would like to know how you get your money to make all your trips to India and New York and Mexico. Who provides you with money?

Prabhupāda: I was provided free passage in a shipping company.

Caller: You was what?

Prabhupāda: Free passage.

Caller: Free passage. Who pays for that free passage?

Prabhupāda: Oh, free passage, there was no question of payment. The shipping company carried me free.

Interviewer: Shipping company carried him free.

Caller: The shipping company carried you free. Who buys your food for you?

Prabhupāda: When I came, I came with some introduction letter. So my guests, they provided me.

Caller: Your guests provide you. In other words, you're a free-loader.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Caller: Why do you set up your church into an area like the Haight-Ashbury? Your so-called temple?

Prabhupāda: Our so-called temple?

Caller: Your so-called temple. Why do you set up a place like that in the Haight-Ashbury?

Interviewer: I'll rephrase it. I'm going to punch her out. Why is your church located in the area of the hippies?

Prabhupāda: It is not for particularly selected the hippies' quarter, but the boys they found a cheaper place in that quarter. Therefore they occupied that place.
