<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- October 6, 1977, Vrndavana|Room Conversation -- October 6, 1977, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Hari-śauri: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. (break)</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: And we're also considering that a farm is very important there, to have a farm.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Apartment?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: No. It's a house. Quite a large house. Large area.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What foot is area?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: It's forty feet wide by maybe three hundred feet long. It's ten minutes from the center of the city. That particular piece of land is worth about two lakhs. There's another man, very rich man. He saw the Bombay project, and he promised to give us a piece of land right on the beach for which he already had zoning permission to build a hotel. It's also a very nice area. But the most important thing is we're trying to get some books published in Tamil and Singhalese languages. And we do a lot of preaching. Is there something special you want me to do there, Prabhupāda? Do you have some...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. There is every chance of making it successful, and the... As Kīrtanānanda has developed New Vrindaban, similarly you can do.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Something along that line?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: You mean like a community, spiritual community like Kīrtanānanda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Yes, that would be very good there because it's also a very ideal climate. Everything grows there very easily because there's plenty of rain, fertile soil, and there's only one city—that's Colombo. And it's a very small city. People are all agriculturalists. The government is also giving land free to encourage agriculture. Simply that it has to be cleared. It's jungle land; it has to be cleared. Shall we try for something like that?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What you can do it easily...</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Do.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. This Dr. Kovoor affair has given you some position.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Yes.</p>
