Gaurasundara: ...just wanted to come and see you for a while.

Prabhupāda: Why not stay here for some time? [pause] Where is our Govinda dāsī? Gaurasundara: She's in Hawaii.

Prabhupāda: So what are your activities now? Gaurasundara: In Hawaii we have Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deities, so having bathing, Deity worship and reading your books twice a day.

Prabhupāda: Very good. Gaurasundara: Feast program.

Prabhupāda: May Kṛṣṇa help you. How many inmates are there? Gaurasundara: Right now there's about one dozen people in the farm, and on Sundays maybe forty, fifty people coming for feast.

Prabhupāda: Very good. You are my old disciple. So I'll be very pleased if you keep the principles—it doesn't matter wherever you live—and spread Kṛṣṇa conscious wherever you feel happy, and do not forget the real business. [referring to woman devotee] She is helping you?

Gaurasundara: Yes, very much. She's doing all the pūjārī work and taking care of the Deities.
