A final date must be fixed, for construction without completion becomes endless delay.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Girirāja: The construction is going on. And this man Mr. Lord, from England, he's getting more active. And...
Girirāja: He's about fifty-year-old gentleman who was the manager of a big club in London. So he had been associating with the devotees in London, and they suggested he come to India and help manage our restaurant and guesthouse. So he was the aide-de-camp of the viceroy of India when he was a young man.
Prabhupāda: Hmm? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Remember, I told you about him, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Girirāja: So he knows a little Hindi. He has a very distinguished...
Prabhupāda: Which viceroy? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Which viceroy?
Girirāja: The last viceroy, Mountbatten. And he's very diplomatic in dealing with people. And when he meets with the Indians, they immediately respect him, just like in the old days. So I think he'll be a very good personality to have in the restaurant and guesthouse.
People will be happy to meet him. He's tall, he has a nice British accent, and he's following our regulative principles. He's a devotee. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I met him at Bhaktivedanta Manor, Śrīla Prabhupāda, when we were there. He came a couple of times, very nice gentleman.
