Absolutely no question of retakes !!!

Yadubara: Every time I filmed Prabhupada, he was totally himself. He wasn't like a person who is usually in front of a camera, but he was completely natural. He never made any errors, and I never had to do a retake. In other words, I never had to stop Prabhupada and tell him to do this or that. Of course, that would have been the wrong thing to do anyway. Once we were filming in Bhaktivedanta Manor in England, and the tape recorder wasn't working properly. We had to ask Prabhupada to stop speaking, and he didn't like that at all. Finally we explained to him what the problem was, and he turned to Bhargava, who was operating the tape recorder, and said, "The tape recorder is useless, and you are useless."
