Bhavānanda: We should begin the parikramā in Vṛndāvana. Prabhupāda: Yes. Bhavānanda: Because quite honestly, Śrīla Prabhupāda, I think most of us are very worried. If you go off down the road and send us all back to our different assignments, we would not be able to serve with our full attention, knowing that our beloved father and spiritual guide was in such weak condition. So if we begin in Vṛndāvana, we're all here now; we can see, so that we know what arrangements to make for the future when you want to leave. Prabhupāda: Hmm. You make me flat. Bhakti-cāru: Is this alright Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Whatever strength is obtainable, there will be.

Jayapatākā: Like to follow the same treatment, only while traveling. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: [whispers] It's not part of the treatment.

Haṁsadūta: So we should meet and make a program for going around Vṛndāvana.

Haṁsadūta: You want to begin tomorrow morning?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Devotee (1): If Prabhupāda travels in a van it would be very bumpy. He should have a big bus.

Prabhupāda: No, no, bus will not be good. Bullock cart.
