<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- July 19, 1977, Vrndavana|Room Conversation -- July 19, 1977, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Last night I heard on the radio—they were having news-yesterday in the Raja Sabha (Senate of the Indian Government) the Communist leader Bhupesh Gupta, he said that the government should close the Māyāpur center.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is their business. Now you have to take the opposite, that "Why these people are so anxious about this unrest? Let there be further inquiry by the Janata party. And suspend..." No. Yes. "And suspend the Communist government for the time being."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Suspend the Communist government. Why suddenly the Communists are saying that "Oh, here is CIA"? Now, if they're saying that, Prabhupāda said, then you they should ask them "Oh, there's a big thing with them. Let us investigate." Investigate the whole matter thoroughly.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: They're doing that now. The CID is investigating.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But the Central Government should investigate. Then it will be...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It should be taken by the Central Government.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: The CID is under the Central Government.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Anyway, it is all ci... It is a Communist manipulation.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They're still in jail.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Some books you have brought for selling?</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No, these are just advance copies. They'll be coming by regular mail.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Some books are ready or not?</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. I just brought these with me.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hindi books are selling now.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. They have a big stock of 1.1, all the other Hindi books.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So I am very much pleased that we have got some nice Hindi books.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: Yes. Actually now we have also three, four books now, we can...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Gargamuni is getting many standing orders for Hindi books.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: He's just started. But there's very good scope.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. Very good scope. You see... Just always remember that Gita Press, third-class printing and fourth-class subject, it is, and they were maintaining seventy-five big machines. Seventy-five in Gorakpur. And Pitagar(?) paper against. Still, they could not supply. There is so much scope for Hindi book.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: The only thing is, the people tell me Gita Press was very cheap.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Therefore I say, third-class printing, fourth-class paper. And if we give first-class paper, first-class printing, there is scope.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, if we give these books for fifteen rupees...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Whatever you give, they'll purchase.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. It's very cheap.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The Hindi-speaking people, they are not poor. Mass of people may be poor, but we want to approach respectable persons. They are not poor. They will pay. Why third-class printing, fourth-class matter? Our first-class matter, first-class printing. We have got better scope than Gita Press.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Don't take less important this Hindi publication. You stock. I shall take charge of selling books.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Actually we are now also selling a lot. We are getting these distributors who are very interested.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Therefore I want stock.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda wants a big stock.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We have a stock of all the books.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, but printing three thousand is not a big stock.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why not print ten thousand of each?</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: If we print ten thousand of each every month, because now we are producing one book per month...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no "if." Print.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: We don't have money now.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Similarly, you also, Gujarati.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We are working together, but we don't have that much capital.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Why not? Use it... You can...</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: But that we are using for the export order.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If they take money, that, and use it. Then...</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, as we get money. Like the first shipment has just gone and we... Till it comes back, we are... But one point is clear. There's no book that we're printing in India that is out of stock. There's no book out of stock. Sometimes devotees misinform you for selfish reasons that we are out of stock, but there's no book out of stock that we are printing in India.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This paper is nice.</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: We will have a few at least a few books ready in a few months.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, the manuscript you take. I want to see at least manuscript is not left idle. That is...</p>
<p>Yaśomatīnandana: Now, with your blessings, we'll go very fast.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Now we have got some position, Hindi books.</p>
<p>Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Gujarati books also should be same standard.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, same standard. Very nice, Hindi books. All right.</p>
<p>Devotees: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Thank you very much. Be enthusiastic to print books. And these items are very, very nice, greeting.</p>
