Prabhupāda: [leads prema-dhvani prayers] Thank you very much. [devotees offer obeisances] [aside:] How much time? Time? Jayatīrtha: Eight-fifteen, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: So, what time we have to start? Jayatīrtha: Well, we should leave for the airport by quarter past, half past...

Prabhupāda: Now we have got half an hour time? Jayatīrtha: Yes. [01:48]

Prabhupāda: Hmm. [leads singing of Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava] [prema-dhvani] Thank you very much. [break] [05:36] So, you are engaged in the service of Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava. He's present here.

And I am very glad that you are doing very nice. Keep the standard. This Deity worship and chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra... Be always engaged in this business.

It is a very important business. Kṛṣṇa says that man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru, mām evaiṣyasi asaṁśayaḥ [Bg. 18.68]. Our mission is to go back to home, back to Godhead. So it is not very difficult thing.
