Bhakti-prema: First we are interested to know...

Prabhupāda: [aside:] Take from the middle. [break] It is something new? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. This is the first drawing we did.

Bhakti-prema: This is Bhārata-varṣa, Bhūrloka. Now, this is Himalayan mountain going from east to west. This is India.

Prabhupāda: First thing is, these people, they cannot cross the Himalayan mountain. [aside:] You can turn this light in this way, down. From my practical experience, I have seen Switzerland, it is so high that so many accidents have taken place. Little inattention.

They have experience. The plane goes thirty-two thousand feet high. Is it not? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.

Thirty to forty thousand. Say forty thousand maximum.

Prabhupāda: Still they met with accident. But they are saying that Himalaya is twenty-eight thousand feet high. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Maximum. Prabhupāda: What is this? First of all answer this.
