Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You know, Prabhupāda, I really feel like I should concentrate lot of my preaching here in New York.
Prabhupāda: Do that.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What do you think?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Preaching is required, here or there.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You once said, "A good businessman, if he knows how to do it, he can make more money sitting in one place..."
Prabhupāda: No, no, no. Money is not our aim. Our aim is how people will understand Kṛṣṇa.
Bali-mardana: He is just using that as an analogy for preaching.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That if you have a good place, many people can be attracted, as many as moving around to many places.
Prabhupāda: My Guru Mahārāja was in favor of preaching in the city because you can get many men.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But do you think I should travel a lot, or what is the best thing?
Prabhupāda: Both things should be done.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Both. So if you... We were hoping that you could give us another chance by coming back next year.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, I'll come.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But you do say that to a lot of different temples, but we will try to make this doubly big.
Prabhupāda: Always, so long I live, I must come.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Really?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: If we get on Fifth Avenue, you'll come again?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But we will double the amount of people, promise.
Bali-mardana: And double the prasādam.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We will double everything if you are here, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. I can stay here also. I like especially New York, because I started the movement here. And because there are so many branches, if I go they become enlivened.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, right, just like we are enlivened.
Prabhupāda: Everyone wants.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Everyone wants you to come.
Prabhupāda: That is natural.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Question of love.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bali-mardana: New York was your second home after India.
Prabhupāda: Yes, I say fatherland. India, motherland; this is fatherland.
Bali-mardana: It is so nice that now in New York they are receiving you so nicely, this parade. Everyone is turning out to greet you. You are like the local boy who made good. So now they are receiving you very grandly.
Prabhupāda: Yes, continue this program. People will be attracted.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I was thinking that we could make a point to have many big festivals here each year, not just this one, but many.
Prabhupāda: Yes, at least three, four you can do. On Janmāṣṭamī, one; Gaura Pūrṇimā; for Śrī Rāma-navamī; and one, Ratha-yātrā.
Bali-mardana: We can do New York for the spring, summer and fall.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Bali-mardana: Because the weather is nice.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That coincides. Rāma-navamī is spring, Ratha-yātrā is summer, and Janmāṣṭamī is fall.
Hari-śauri: Gaura Pūrṇimā would be a bit difficult, though. Everybody is in India.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's not possible.
Bali-mardana: We could do that inside.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But those three...
Prabhupāda: Janmāṣṭamī, take Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa procession.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: On carts?
Prabhupāda: No, on siṁhāsana, carried by hand.
Bali-mardana: Palanquin.
Prabhupāda: Palanquin; no, the siṁhāsana as it is. Just like this is siṁhāsana, two big poles down, and tie it with..., cut it with legs and carry, four men or eight men change. Change the soldiers.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But not on carts, not on big chariots.
Prabhupāda: No. Chariot, only Ratha-yātrā.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We'll make a big advertisement. We'll call it "Fall Festival." This festival, we called it "Summer Festival." People respond to that. If you say Ratha-yātrā, they can't even pronounce the word. So we call it "Summer Festival," and they came.
Hari-śauri: "Summer Festival" sounds very attractive.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Everyone was saying, "Oh, that means for me, Summer Festival."
Hari-śauri: "Ecstasy Outdoors."
Prabhupāda: And Jayānanda should be congratulated. Yes. Give one letter, written. I...
Bali-mardana: The carts looked magnificent.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Two people worked the hardest Prabhupāda, Jayānanda and all of his assistants, and Toṣaṇa Kṛṣṇa. He did all of the publicity and advertisement.
Prabhupāda: They should be congratulated.
