Later in his room, Prabhupada spoke more on the topical issue. His spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, in considering whether articles were worthy for publication, would count how many times the word "Krsna" or "Caitanya" had been used; if these holy names had been quoted sufficiently, he would say: "That's all right. This can be used."
Prabhupada turned to Caru. "So, how many times has this man mentioned the word 'Krsna' in the article?"
Caru quickly counted. "Seventeen times, Srila Prabhupada."
"And how many people live in Melbourne?"
"At least a couple of million, Srila Prabhupada."
Prabhupada smiled. "So that's seventeen multiplied by two million times that the holy name of Krsna has been chanted."
