Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupada: This million, million dollars is utopian. Don't strain for collecting. Then spiritual progress will be hampered.
Jayapataka Maharaja: It seems that the temple [in Mayapur] could be completed in seven years, in time for the five hundredth anniversary of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's appearance.
Prabhupada: That's nice. Do it!
Jayapataka Maharaja: The architect says the inside portion can be finished and begun to be used in three years, while the outside is completed.
Prabhupada: Do like that. That is good idea. And in different names, you can purchase land. You are all bhaktas-to live with you and serve the lotus feet of the acaryas-this suits me. If possible, make some improvements in Bhaktivinoda Thakura's birthplace. At least repair it without any claim of ours.
Jayapataka Maharaja: If some time in the future they are agreeable, we should take the seva-puja?
Prabhupada: Yes.
Jayapataka Maharaja: At Ramakeli, there is a temple of Rupa and Sanatana Gosvamis. Bhaktisiddhanta put Caitanya Mahaprabhu's lotus feet there. They want you to take over the management.
Prabhupada: Yes. Purchase it.
Jayapataka Maharaja: When you say Gaura-mandala-bhumi, do you mean all the places of Lord Caitanya's pastimes, not only Navadvipa?
Prabhupada: Yes, in Bengal.
Tamala Krsna Maharaja: What about Jagannatha Puri?
Prabhupada: That is another thing. Orissa. Where is Jayapataka 's mother?
Jayapataka Maharaja: She is in L. A. She is going to the temple and organizing good publicity for the movement.
Tamala Krsna Maharaja: That is your mercy. Just like Lord Caitanya. Whoever contacts you becomes a devotee.
Prabhupada: She is already a good lady. Otherwise, how she has such a good son? All your mothers are fortunate, Srila Prabhupada said.
All the devotees then gave their appreciation for Srila Prabhupada.
Tamala Krsna Maharaja: When we build the temple, everyone will be silent.
Prabhupada: They are already silent.
Krsnadasa Kaviraja visited and led kirtana for Srila Prabhupada.
Examining Srila Prabhupada, the kaviraja found his pulse strong. He said that in four to five days, he would be fit for parikrama. He also advised Prabhupada to start taking wheat [Horlicks].
The kaviraja worked hard all day, being very concerned to heal Srila Prabhupada. Four to five hours, he searched the woods for specific herbs, but to no avail. In the evening, he examined Srila Prabhupada again to find the swelling had increased.
The urinalysis that came back from Dr. Gopal of Ramakrishna Mission Hospital indicated that there were far too many pus cells. The kidneys were malfunctioning so badly, they were converting blood cells to pus, a very serious condition. There was pain in the left kidney, but no stones.
