Prabhupāda: Miami is the capital. Brahmānanda: No. Miami is a big tourist city.
Prabhupāda: Oh. Janārdana: It's all tourist, the whole place. Gargamuni: There's an Indian fellow in the San Francisco temple. He comes very often.
Prabhupāda: Vinode. Gargamuni: Yes. And he helps us cook prasādam. And he cooks in the kitchen, and oh, he says, "Kṛṣṇa is my only life." He says he was so happy to find a temple here.
Prabhupāda: Very good. Gargamuni: He mentioned to me that he's married and that he has a child in India. And he asked, "Oh, were you married?" And I said, "No. My wife was taken away." And he came over and he hugged me.
"Oh," he said, "you are so lucky." [laughter] He hugged me. He said, "Oh, you are so lucky." Prabhupāda: [chuckling] There is a Tulasī dāsa poetry, din ka ḍākinī, rāt ka bāghinī, palak palak rahe cuṣe duniyā sab bhora hoye, ghara ghara bāghinī pūse. Bhāginī. Tulasī dāsa had very good, beautiful wife, and he was very much attached to her.
So the system is that after the girl is staying with her husband... Because young girls, very minor age they were married, say, ten years, nine years, twelve years. But they're allowed to live with husband, say, after thirteen years or fourteen years, when she has attained puberty. So the system is six months father house and six months husband. In this way, going and coming.
