<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- January 19, 1976, Mayapur|Room Conversation -- January 19, 1976, Mayapur]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You said that when you were very young you always used to calculate what was the cost of a ticket to Purī.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Every day I was seeing how to go to Jagannātha Purī and how to go to Vṛndāvana. At that time a fare was, for Vṛndāvana, four or five rupees, and similarly for Jagannātha Purī. So I was thinking, "When I shall go?" That's all. I took first opportunity to go to Jagannātha Purī after my examination, and in business connection when I went to Agra, then I first of all took the opportunity to go to Vṛndāvana from Agra. This was in 1925, and I visited Jagannātha Purī sometime in 1920. And '25 I went to Vṛndāvana. I remember, in those days I was sitting within the car, and there was some prasādam. One monkey entered and took away everything.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In the train compartment.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are very clever. Many times in Vṛndāvana the monkeys have taken away from my hand foodstuff.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: While you were eating.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. Thrice... At least thrice, four times I remember.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You wanted them to take it? You were offering...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, suppose a big monkey comes and takes. You are stunned. (laughter) You have to give him. No other way.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They will attack otherwise.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In Rādhā-Dāmodara temple I was cooking the other room. So although the door was closed, he knew, he opened the door and took away my prasādam. Sometimes they would take away... (door opens) Come on. The, what is called, dough? For...?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Cāpāṭis?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Cāpāṭi. So they will eat that.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Raw dough.</p>
