<p>Jayapatākā: I was just thinking about that, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: At least repair it nicely, without any claim of our...</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: From the Bhaktivedanta Charity Trust.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust will be very popular, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Amongst the Vaiṣṇavas.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Everyone will glorify your name. It will be a great pleasure to give them funds from this Trust.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Sometime in the future we can, if they are ever agreeable, if we can take the sevā of that birthplace, then we should do so.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: In Malda district at Rāmakeli, where Lord Caitanya first met with Rūpa and Sanātana, there is a temple of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa that... Rūpa and Sanātana Gosvāmī used to worship those Deities. Bhaktisiddhānta Ṭhākura Prabhupāda has put a lotus feet of Mahāprabhu there. So we have gone there on two occasions for preaching, and they..., some local people came and said they would like us to take some..., to either take over management or somehow be connected with that because they felt that it required preaching there. They're very favorable at that place.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Purchase it.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: When you say Gauḍa-maṇḍala-bhūmi, that means any of the līlā places of Lord Caitanya.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Not just Navadvīpa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. No, in Bengal.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What about in Jagannātha Purī?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is another. That is Orissa.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It is your great mercy, Śrīla Prabhupāda, that you are allowing us to do a little helping to you in your service to the previous ācāryas. We are completely fallen, without any spiritual credit, but still, you are allowing us to help you in a little way.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Without your intervention we would have no hope.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Where is Jayapatākā's mother?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Where is Jayapatākā's mother?</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: She's in California. Citsukhānanda Prabhu said that... (to Citsukhānanda:) You said you saw her in Los Angeles? She is coming to the temple? My mother? What is she doing?</p>
<p>Citsukhānanda: She's coming now. There's another lady, Mrs. Forkash, and she has been working with Mrs. Forkash, and she's been attending the programs and also organizing for good publicity for the movement all over America. And she's been attending major functions that we do. Like we had a major function with all the important people of Los Angeles—movie stars, directors, politicians—and so she also assisted, and she was preaching, speaking about Kṛṣṇa consciousness.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: She's becoming a devotee.</p>
<p>Citsukhānanda: Yes, very much.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: She's also connected with that Parents for Kṛṣṇa? There's one parent's group called Parents for Kṛṣṇa?</p>
<p>Citsukhānanda: Parents for Kṛṣṇa, yes. She assists in that Parents for Kṛṣṇa group.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That is your magic touch, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Anyone who contacts you becomes a devotee. You're just like the associates of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Whoever saw them...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: She's already a good lady. Otherwise how she can have such nice son? (laughter)</p>
<p>Citsukhānanda: I asked her if she had met you, Prabhupāda. I asked Jayapatākā's mother if she had met you, and she said, "Yes..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: A fortunate lady. All your mothers, they are all fortu...</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: I remember some parents used to come, Śrīla Prabhupāda, in Los Angeles while you were sitting in the garden in the evening. Once in a while, some parents would come and appreciate you so much that you've trained their sons and daughters to become a human being.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Tenants?</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: The parents used to come in Los Angeles in the evening while you were sitting in the garden.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Which garden?</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: In Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: One day you'll be celebrated for saving the whole world, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Every day, Śrīla Prabhupāda, I receive so many letters praising Your Divine Grace, how you have saved so many fallen souls.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Even this kavirāja, he said that he has seven patients in Calcutta who are about to die, but he said they're all materialists, so if they live or die it doesn't matter much. So he said, "If Prabhupāda stays on the planet, then so many hundreds, thousands, countless living entities will get devotional service, get liberation, get elevated." That's why he's dropped those patients to come here. You are the most important. You are the pure devotee.</p>
