Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda said, "What you have brought?" Śatadhanya: Bengali potols, big, very nice. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Show him. Wow. Śatadhanya: That one's a little soft, but... Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Give him a good one.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Fat. Śatadhanya: You'll take, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Also some jhinga.

Prabhupāda: Very good. Śatadhanya: In Māyāpur, when they heard that Your Divine Grace was coming, it was like electricity. There was... I've never seen anyone so excited as they were. They were electrified.

Everyone was... All the gurukula, little boys who had never even seen... "Prabhupāda is coming! Prabhupāda is coming!" There were shouts all through the āśrama.

And everything was very well organized by Jayapatākā Mahārāja for your arrival.

Bhavānanda: Mrs. De at the airport? Śatadhanya: At the airport that Mrs. De, who you had... I think she met you previously.

She had told you, "I am also a De." Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: When we went to Bombay. Remember when we flew to Bombay that lady helped us for getting special seating? Śatadhanya: So she very kindly made all the nice arrangements at the airport. There was a big caravan with flowers to take you to Māyāpur. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You expected Prabhupāda on that plane? Śatadhanya: Yes.
