[at apartment at chateau] Bhagavān: Most are at the farm, waiting. Here there is about sixty; the rest are there. They told me that after I told them that you might not come, the next morning at maṅgala ārtik no one was dancing.

Prabhupāda: [laughs] I know that. Therefore I come in this old age to encourage the devotees. [coughs] Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare. Bhagavān: There is nice water here, from the source.

Prabhupāda: From? Bhagavān: There is a source, a natural spring not far from here, and people take their water.

Prabhupāda: You all bring all drinking water from there? Bhagavān: No, yours. [pause] Bhagavān: Here, we are an hour ahead.

Prabhupāda: Huh? Bhagavān: One hour ahead, 12:20. We have bitter melon and all fruits and vegetables, everything.

Prabhupāda: Who will cook? Bhagavān: We have Mandākinī...

Prabhupāda: Mandākinī has not cooked very nice last. Bhagavān: There is Aditi; there is... The wife of Hari-vilāsa, she cooked for you before.
