[visit to house/restaurant which Ātreya Ṛṣi was purchasing] ¶
Prabhupāda: You are not going to install Deity? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Not here. ¶
Prabhupāda: Oh, not here. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: The Deity will be installed in the other place… ¶
Prabhupāda: Oh, this is only for restaurant. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: …which is, the company is buying. There is… ¶
Prabhupāda: Oh, then it is all right. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: And the restaurant will be just downstairs. ¶
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Brahmacārī will be upstairs. Householders live in the other place, and the Deity will be there. ¶
Prabhupāda: Then it is all right. Very good restuarant. But people in this land, they will come for a restaurant, customer? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, this is very good neighborhood. ¶
Prabhupāda: As soon as they understand, they will come. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes. ¶
Prabhupāda: For restaurant, it is very nice. Then take it. [some conversing as lady shows them around] Very nice. Yes. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: …this is much bigger than the restaurant I saw in [indistinct]. For a restaurant they could serve 300 people, just this area, just this big. I mean not at one time. [indistinct] ¶
Prabhupāda: Downstairs for restaurant is very nice. What do you think, downstairs? ¶
Nava-yauvana: It’s got a nice kitchen, Śrīla Prabhupāda. ¶
Prabhupāda: Oh. ¶
Nava-yauvana: It’s a good-size kitchen, all tiled. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: That kitchens can be extended. ¶
Nava-yauvana: Yes. ¶
Prabhupāda: Thank you. ¶
Nava-yauvana: And an adjoining room for storage and cutting. ¶
Iranian lady: Tea? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: No. We don’t drink. Would you like one of these peaches, Śrīla Prabhupāda? ¶
Prabhupāda: These? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, that’s right, that’s right. ¶
Nava-yauvana: Maybe he likes orange? ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Would you prefer an orange? Can I skin this? ¶
Hari-śauri: You can cut an orange. ¶
Prabhupāda: No. Yes. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Orange? ¶
Prabhupāda: Yes. Cut into pieces, and give me one. ¶
Pradyumna: Sometimes there are amoebas on the outside. [background discussion among devotees about peeling orange] ¶
Nava-yauvana: Location is very essential. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Nava-yauvana: In the city it is very essential. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Iranian lady: Thank you. ¶
Prabhupāda: Good cucumber. ¶
Devotee: Hmm. ¶
[conversation in Farsi/French in background] ¶
Hari-śauri: Would you like some, Śrīla Prabhupāda? ¶
Prabhupāda: Yes. ¶
[much background conversation] ¶
Nava-yauvana: This is very expensive. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Nava-yauvana: This house is very expensive. Very small, and very expensive, because of artificial inflation, real estate speculation. ¶
Hari-śauri: The cucumber is very sweet. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm? ¶
Hari-śauri: The cucumber is very sweet. ¶
Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, it is very good. Serve Prabhupāda some more. ¶
