Devotional service to Krishna immediately manifests all good qualities within the sincere practitioner's heart.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Rāmeśvara: They have so many different groups, religious groups and minority groups from other parts of the world, they call it a melting pot. So they accept us because they've accepted so many others, the Puerto Ricans, the blacks, so similarly they are accepting us.
Rāmeśvara: This city, the people of this city.
Rāmeśvara: In other places they consider us to be very foreign, alien. But here there are so many foreigners, so it fits right in.
Prabhupāda: This is the Tenth Street? No. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is Amsterdam Avenue.
Prabhupāda: Oh. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Ninth Avenue turns into Amsterdam Avenue.
Rāmeśvara: Next year at the Ratha-yātrā they are planning to have a press box, so that the newspapermen and the television cameras can come and film the activities on stage also. They can film your lecture, they can film the play. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We're also thinking to have a press box along the parade route, so that they can stay in an elevated position and take photos. We collected a total of about seven thousand dollars, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: And what you spent? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Spent ten thousand. But we also collected another fifteen thousand in advertisements. So total collection was about twenty, over twenty thousand, and expenditure was under ten.
