This is not a whisper - these words are clearly audible. It is interesting to note that even though the transcription of this section of the audio tape was transcribed into the BBT Folio, this sentence was omitted. Why was this sentence omitted? How will BBT / Bhaktivedanta Archives officials explain this mystery?

For those of you who have technical difficulties listening to the sound clips, here's help!

From BBT Folio:

Room Conversation - Vrindaban, November 10, 1977 - 148379/173814

Prabhupada: But I think I shall be cured.
Tamala Krsna: Prabhupada says he thinks he will be cured by the parikrama.
(Bhakti-caru and Shastriji--Hindi)
Hamsaduta: Under the circumstances we have to consider whether Prabhupada's opinion is more or less than the kaviraja's, is what it comes down to.
Tamala Krsna: We can't continue..., consider. Srila Prabhupada has to.
Hamsaduta: If Prabhupada says that by going on parikrama he feels he'll be cured, then how can we continue to place arguments against him?
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Prabhupada: Kuvera?
Bhakti-caru: Shastriji is telling Prabhupada to ask the Kuvera's puspaka-ratha. That is airplane of Kuvera. And do the parikrama in that. Then there won't be any pumping in that way. And he's saying that if Prabhupada asks for that, he will sure get it. (devotees chuckle)

Kaviraja: (Hindi)

Newly discovered text:
(While kaviraja speaks hindi, yet unidentified whispers can be heard, and then:)

Tamala Krsna: Put poison in different containers.
Unknown person: That's all right.

Tamala Krsna: Ultimately what Prabhupada decides, we will do.
Hamsaduta: Well, it just...
Tamala Krsna: Yeah, but it goes on. As Prabhupada goes on, his disciples also
go on.
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Bhakti-caru: Shastriji's saying, Maharaja... Shastriji's saying that Prabhupada shouldn't talk too much. It's bad for his heart.
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Tamala Krsna: So, Srila Prabhupada, we can have kirtana until Krsna dasa comes. Okay. (kirtana) Lokanatha is here, over there, Srila...
Prabhupada: So? Where did you go?
