Your name is Śivani, wife of Lord Śiva. Who is this? Nicely wove it and sewn it.
Initiation Lecture Excerpt -- Los Angeles, July 2, 1971:

Prabhupāda: So similarly, Kṛṣṇa's name, we should not try to exact some material profit by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. That is not pure devotion. Sarva... What is called? Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam (CC Madhya 19.170). Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam (Brs. 1.1.11). We shall simply aspire to serve Kṛṣṇa. The Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra means, "He Kṛṣṇa, my Lord Kṛṣṇa." He, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare, "O the energy of Kṛṣṇa, O Kṛṣṇa, please engage me in Your service." This is the sum total meaning of this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. Simply praying, "Please engage me," that is real profit. Not that "Please give me, instead of hundred dollars, give me thousand dollars." No. This is not pure devotion. You should all understand this. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam (CC Madhya 19.167). Completely freed from any material desire. That is pure devotion. That will make you happy. Go on. Go on with... You are finished?

Dayānanda: There's still one.

Prabhupāda: All right. Yes. (japa) What is your name?

Girl: Jean Pickman.

Prabhupāda: Your name is Śivani, wife of Lord Śiva. Who is this? Nicely wove it and sewn it. What is your name?

Boy: Jeffrey Seeler. (?)

Viṣṇujana: Gaṅgārāma.

Prabhupāda: Gaṅgārāma. Gaṅgārāma was a devotee of Lord Caitanya. Go on. Who's next?

Devotee: Suraci devī. Suraci.

Prabhupāda: Huh? Suruci. Suruci was one of the mothers of Dhruva Mahārāja. Take it. You know what are the rules and regulations? What is that?

Suruci: No meat-eating, no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling.

Prabhupāda: All right. (end)
