Bhaktivedanta Manor, August 22, 1973

Prabhupäda:  This prasädam for your wife.  You take it.

George:  Okay. Jaya.

Revaténandana:  In another five years what?

George:  But in another five... It's like a snowball, the effect, you know.  It's getting bigger all the time.  And in the next five years I'm sure it's going to double.  Just more.  I mean it's going to have done more in five years than it has in the last, probably two hundred years.

Devotee:  Come see the statue, George.

(Inaudible)

Prabhupäda:  Oh, you have not seen my room?  Your house, my room.

George:  Kåñëa’s house.

(George Harrison and Çyämasundara are looking at Çréla Prabhupäda's room after prasädam and talking in background)

Prabhupäda:  It doesn't matter. 

Revaténandana:  I think it might.

Prabhupäda:  And dahi also.

Revaténandana:  Yes.  Everything from the cow.

Prabhupäda:  Hm?

Revaténandana:  The cow.

Prabhupäda:  Now, take first of all prasädam.

Revaténandana:  This is sour cream.  I hear you like with your samosä some sour cream.

Çyämasundara: Revaténandana fixed you a feast.

Prabhupäda:  You take, you take.

Çyämasundara: They are bringing for us.

Revaténandana:  They’re bringing more.

Prabhupäda:  Hmm.  Nice.

Revaténandana:  Is it all right?  Really?  You just taught me yesterday how to perfect these and I tried to do it.

George:  We’ve just been making some music in California and one of the songs which, ah, it's Ravi Shankar’s music.  But one of the songs is withVedic, based on the Vedic thing is jaya jagadéça hare, which is the tenavatäras of Viñëu.

Prabhupäda:   Oh yes.  Keçava dhåta mina çaréra jaya jagadéça hare.

George:  There is one sort of problem in a way, that I found when chanting all the time, and that was that I start being able to relate less and less to all the people I know.  I mean then it’s, there’s only times when I see people like Çyämasundara or just a few people.  Then, that’s okay, but most of the other people... I suddenly found myself on such a different level that it’s hard to relate and then it's like it feels as

Çréla Prabhupäda:  ...in your house?

George Harrison:  Yes.

Prabhupäda:  The first time you are seeing? (Laughs)

George:  Yes.  I’ve just seen the photographs before.  We saw many places which didn’t turn out to be the one.

Prabhupäda:  This village is also nice.  I am walking daily, morning.

George:  It’s perfect.

Prabhupäda:  One priest came?

Çyämasundara:  Today?  A priest?  Ah, ( laughs )

Prabhupäda:  Yes.  With a girl friend. (

So one should not think that "Now I am materially happy. My all distress, my all poverty, has gone by Krsna, by devotional service of Krsna," or "I have become liberated." No. These are by-products. To become liberated and to become materially happy by prosecution of Krsna consciousness is a by-product. You have to attempt further thing. And what is that? Prema-sukha-bhoga: you shall be absorbed in love of Krsna.
