Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0[looking at\u00a0Preaching is the Essence?<\/em>] Each verse is like a separate lecture, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0So, we shall…<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0What, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da?<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0We shall chant our beads or read book?<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, we can… Which would you like?<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0For me, everything is all right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0So we can chant\u00a0japa<\/em>\u00a0for a little while.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0All right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0And then we can read again. All right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0Hmm. [devotees chant\u00a0japa<\/em>] [break]<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0Hare K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. We received… I received some results of book distribution from September, worldwide, very extraordinary figures. Actually, they are astounding figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0[chuckles] That is right. He misses news.[?]<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0[whispered aside] Call [indistinct] and find out the most recent newsletter from September. [break] This is very good, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da. This resting is very good.\u00a0Kavir\u0101ja<\/em>\u00a0said that two things, resting and passing urine, are signs of recovery for you. Sleeplessness is bad. But constant resting means that the body is getting a chance to renew itself and take strength. He said that we should look for that resting as a sign of gradual recovery, called “rest and recuperation.” [indistinct background talking]<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0So?<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0I’ll just get it, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prabhup\u0101da:<\/strong>\u00a0Not that pillow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam\u0101la K<\/strong>\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47<\/strong>a:<\/strong>\u00a0Not that pillow? Is that all right? Says, “Book distribution, worldwide.” Says here… These are the world totals for the month of September, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da. In the month of September all over the world they distributed the following number of big books = 215,914. 216,000 big books in one month, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da. Medium books = 226,000 in one month. Small books = 237,000. And\u00a0Back to Godheads:<\/em>\u00a0433,000. Now I calculated, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da, also the total amount of money realized by the BBT. In the month of September the BBT sold…, the temples sold 675,000 dollars’ worth of books. In rupees, I figured out it’s fifty-nine\u00a0lakhs<\/em>\u00a0the BBT sold. Now, the temples, when they…, if they sell a book, they get double the amount of money. You know what I mean? If the BBT sells the book to the temple for say $2.50, the temple gets $5.00 when it sells the book. So I calculated that the temples collected $1,350,000 from selling your books in the month of September, which comes out to one\u00a0crore,<\/em>\u00a0seventeen\u00a0lakhs<\/em>\u00a0collections from book sales. And then I was calculating what this would mean… [end]<\/span><\/p>\n
