Room Conversation — August 26, 1975, Vṛndāvana 750826R1-VRNDAVAN [21:01 Minutes] Conv_750826R1-VRNDAVAN Prabhupāda: Neither of you saw this? [break] ...in Delhi? Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Hindi books. Hindi books are selling very well.

Prabhupāda: So what to do with this unfinished part? It will never be finished. That is the difficulty. We supplied three lakhs rupees monthly.

Still, when I come, it is unfinished. Unfinished. I do not know when it will be finished. And whenever money is given, the report is, "Money is finished, but thing is not finished."

Guṇārṇava: Well, there's some ninety-four thousand rupees in the Punjab Bank, but that's for paying the, er..., that's for finalizing all the contracts.

Prabhupāda: Your explanation there. I want to see that it is now finished. That's all. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: All that money in the bank is to pay the overhead.

Lahiri and Saurabha are checking the bills. He said that you wanted it checked three or four times.
