Satsvarūpa: Yes. They all loved that lecture very much last night.

Gargamuni: Very open. Very humbly, you were... Although they have done so much, you were very humble in your approach of requesting them to help us.

Satsvarūpa: And telling them how Jagannātha has gone everywhere, all over the world. If they want to make Him Oriya-nātha they can, but He's already going.

Hari-śauri: And your point that He is sarva-loka-maheśvaram [Bg 5.29], so if the people from sarva-loka want to come and have darśana, then why should they be stopped?

Gargamuni: Very good points were made. Gurukṛpā: Some of the paṇḍitas, though, left. Some the paṇḍitas left as soon as you began to speak. Some of them.
