Durability and magnificence unite practical devotional service with Krishna's eternal glory in Puri.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Gargamuni: Yes, there's those two plots on that main... Now, there's many broken buildings there. Many. I drove all around.
Rāmeśvara: You'd have to buy several of them together.
Gargamuni: Yes. And also they're out of the city. They're more out of reach. They're not in that...
That one area is the best area. There's a two-lane road—you know, traffic going one way and traffic going another way, with an island in the center.
Gargamuni: And all the hotels are there, so all the top people are there.
Gargamuni: And that Purī hotel was packed up with foreigners and with local people very nicely dressed. And this plot is just near the Purī hotel. So it's a nice area, and the breeze is wonderful, very nice breeze from the ocean. So if we build a nice multi-story, that breeze will be very healthy.
Gargamuni: So I have to leave here tomorrow morning at 8:30 and meet with the man at around 9:30, 10:00, and he'll give me all the names and addresses, and he'll show me some other plots. Then, perhaps, if maybe you would like to see it the following day, we can drive there and show you the plot as soon as I get more information. Rāmeśvara: Would you like to do that, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Hari-śauri: Have you been to Purī for a long time? Prabhupāda: Oh, several times. Hari-śauri: I mean in recent years, or... Prabhupāda: No. Recent years I'm not going because my disciples are not allowed. I don't wish to go. Gargamuni: I was here during Durgā-pūjā, and there were thousands of people entering that temple.
