Pradyumna: The lecture is now, then we'll have ārati.

Prabhupāda: So this is the hundred and third birth anniversary. [some discussion in background about the number] You remember? One hundred third, this is? One hundred and three anniversary?

Pradyumna: 1872... 1977 it is. One hundred and fourth. One hundred and fifth.

Hari-śauri: Seventy-three, seventy-four, seventy-five, seventy-six, seventy-seven... Hundred and fifth.

Prabhupāda: Fourth? Anyway, this is the auspicious day of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī... Hundred fourth?

Prabhupāda: Third. Hundred and third birth anniversary. So this is formal—hundred and third or fourth or first or second. It is eternal.

It is eternal. Just like Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has described, nitya-līlā. Nitya-līlā means it is going on. Just like just now it is eleven o'clock.
