Prabhupāda: [prema-dvani] You can play Hari hari biphale janama. I shall... I'll sing before you.

Prabhupāda: [sings Hari hari biphale janama acompanied by harmonium, drum and karatālas] [break] [09:06] ...movement is enlightening people because they're simply wasting their time without worshiping Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. The purport of this song made by Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, that anyone who is not coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is simply wasting his valuable human life... [sounds of children] [aside:] Take care of the children. This life is meant for reviving our lost Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

There is Kṛṣṇa consciousness... [babies crying]

Devotee: If they cannot stay still, they must be taken out.

Prabhupāda: Otherwise how it is happening that this place was a church and nobody was coming, so much so that they had to sell it to others? We purchased it. When I first came here to see this church, there was nobody. The place is the same.

The people is the same. I have not brought men from India. Why it is crowded now? This is the proof that in everyone's heart Kṛṣṇa consciousness is there.
