Room Conversation, Vrindavan 10/31/77
Prabhupada: Huh. No more, no more trial. Adri-dharana?
Adri-dharana: Yes, Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: What do you think?
Adri-dharana: About this man?
Prabhupada: Yes. Follow strictly.
Tamala Krsna: Do you agree that we should follow strictly his advice?
Adri-dharana: From my experience I think he's a very good man. He's a Vaisnava.
Tamala Krsna: We certainly have... We might as well try. We've tried everyone else.
Prabhupada: Hm.
Tamala Krsna: So let us try.
Bhavananda: He did agree with your own diagnosis, Prabhupada. He said makaradhvaja at this point would be poison and today you said that it was poison.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Bhavananda: So that was...
Prabhupada: Mm. Mm?
Tamala Krsna: Satadhanya asks whether he looks like the man you saw in the dream.
Prabhupada: He has tilaka?
Tamala Krsna: Yes, he has nice tilaka.
Prabhupada: (indistinct). The other man, he has nice tilaka?
Tamala Krsna: Govardhanaji has tilaka?
Adri-dharana: No.
Tamala Krsna: No.
Prabhupada: That's all right.
Adri-dharana: Also Govardhanaji was not very, extremely helpful. He said he would not come to Vrndavana. He said he would not...
Tamala Krsna: Now this man said in fifteen days Prabhupada would be better.
Adri-dharana: He said there will be improvement, in a few days, two or three days there will be improvement.
