India's spiritual culture spreads globally while India's own leaders neglect their heritage of Krishna consciousness.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: The whole thing is being done in one week. I just got the whole text from Nirañjana on Sunday from England. We've got it composed, it is going into printing tomorrow. it will be ready by Vyāsa-Pūjā. It's a Hindi Back to Godhead on Janmāṣṭamī... Prabhupāda: Nirañjana is, I think, good translator. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, and he's the most reliable.
The others I find are not reliable. Even with Yaśomatīnandana, I give him a book, it gets stuck for three months. But now we are moving very fast. The first Hindi Back to Godhead we printed up forty-five thousand; it is sold.
So I'm reprinting thirty thousand more in Delhi, and in Bombay we are producing a new Back to Godhead with thirty thousand first print. Forty-five thousand of first printing is almost sold. People can't believe it. Even Hitsaran Sharma couldn't believe it that we distributed forty-five thousand Hindi magazines in two months. Prabhupāda: We are distributing millions in English. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We got a new import permit to import books worth five lakhs.
I think I wrote that to you. And also the government is going to let us... Prabhupāda: I saw your wife in New York. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. She's in Dallas now.
Also the government's going to give us permission to import paper now, and I have already arranged to get samples of Japanese paper. So this will make our quality very good. The government likes our printing in India. So that's why they gave me this new license.
Because I said, "As we import and sell, we print more in India," so they like that.
Prabhupāda: What is the temperature here? Hari-śauri: Temperature? Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: [to driver:] What's the temperature, about? Kartikeya Mahadevia [driving]: Outside?
