<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- June 5, 1976, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- June 5, 1976, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhogilal Patel had twenty-three cars. Just for him and his wife and father. (laughter)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. They are spending money to save income tax. They have got enough income. So instead of giving to the income tax, they are thinking that "Why not provide some serfers(?), some drivers, some servants, and repair the house every year." In this way, spend money (laughing). It is good policy. Money's distributed to the poor instead of going to the government pocket.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He's got at least thirty-five servants, and it is only father and son and daughter-in-law.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughing) That's all. No children even.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. Prabhupāda stayed there. They gave us much, er, attention.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are very favorable to us. Especially the father.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes, Bhogilal. I remember when I first approached him for a donation, I asked him: "Please give twenty-five thousand rupees." I was the one who was approaching him. So then he said, "I can give ten thousand." So I said, all I did is I, just I said, "Please give more." He said, "All right, twenty-five thousand." (laughter) It didn't take very much preaching, he's so kind-hearted. And his son Pranlal was also nice boy.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. He's very intelligent, he knows what we are doing. His wife also, that young girl.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, very nice. They're actually a little aristocratic, I think.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They have palatial buildings in Ahmedabad, oh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That, when I was staying there, that young girl, the daughter, she was always taking care, always taking care: "Swamiji, what do you want, what can I serve?"</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That was a wonderful stay. That was when Mrs. Nair surrendered. (laughs)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The Bhogilal was coming daily.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: To talk with you?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And Pranlal was offering any help that he could. And they gave our, the secretaries were also treated very nicely, they gave us each a car.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, when I first came to this, to your movement, the first thing I was told is that Lord Caitanya's movement in this age will, like a moon, rise for ten thousand years. I was told that number, ten thousand years. Is that true?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: And then after that, they will...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This movement will go for ten thousand years without any impediment.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: So that means increasing, because it's the nature of the spiritual energy.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It increases; you should take this opportunity. You work sincerely; it will increase, it will increase.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Ten thousand years, there is a good opportunity to...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Many fallen souls will be delivered back to home, back to Godhead.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Very encouraging.</p>
