Bhāgavatāśraya: ...ground floor restaurant. So it would take eighteen months to build the building. And then the idea is that we can have the ground floor for our restaurant. Prabhupāda: Very good. Make Govinda Restaurant. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: New Delhi will like it.

New Delhi people will appreciate a vegetarian restaurant. So I think there's some pleasing news, Śrīla Prabhupāda. This is from..., sent by Baradrāj Prabhu. It's a letter. Prabhupāda: Delhi temple is going on nice? Bhāgavatāśraya: Oh, yes.

We are redecorating everything inside. We've painted to about four feet off the ground with some gloss paint and then nice distemper. And I've spent, oh, a lot of money, around two thousand rupees on the whole temple. Temple room, Deity room, kitchens, everything.

We're painting it all. And now Bhakti-caitanya Swami, he will have his office there. BBT office will be in Delhi. It is very good arrangement. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Maybe I should show you the pictures first.

I've brought your glasses. These are the photographs, Śrīla Prabhupāda, of the Deities to be installed in Fiji. He's sending to you for your approval. First, this is Śrī-Śrī-Guru-Gaurāṅga in day dress.

Prabhupāda: First class. Just like life. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Phew. Yeah.

Prabhupāda: Very, very nice. They're superexcellent. Not only excellent but superexcellent. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here is a picture of the same Guru-Gaurāṅga in night dress.
