On May 4, we returned to the Dai Nippon offices [in Tokyo], where Prabhupada finalized arrangements for the printing of the Indian BTG and some books in Hindi. After his meeting, Prabhupada sat patiently for an hour while a young Dai Nippon dentist fitted him with a pair of solid gold teeth, cleverly bridged to the remaining front teeth in his lower jaw. Prabhupada looked in the mirror and said, “Oh, this looks very nice,” then reached out and pulled the anxious dentist to his chest, hugged him, and messed up his hair. Emerging from the dentist’s office, Srila Prabhupada flashed his glamorous new grin, ready for his trip to celebrity-conscious America.
