Prabhupāda: English. Brahmānanda: Śrīla Prabhupāda will speak in English or Hindi?

Prabhupāda: Hindi. [Hindi] You read it thoroughly and you explain it either in English or Hindi, as you think befitting to your friends. So we have got so many literatures in French language. We are also asking some men from Europe.

Everyone will purchase ticket. Yes. Thik hai. Bring some white elephant.
