Sangama by his grace, when I cross the ocean of material suffering, I obtain the mercy of Krishna. My only wish is to have my consciousness purified by the words emanating from his lotus mouth attachment to his lotus deeds. Perfection fulfills all desires into my darkened eyes and fills my heart with transcendental knowledge. He is my Lord. Birth after birth from Him. Ecstatic prayer.

So if there are any other devotees outside who is not aware of the program because there is some tremendous change in the morning schedule today, please kindly invite them. So you will have five minutes. Because I'm just going to interrupt you for five minutes so you need not hear my speech. So please invite them.

I'm happy and I'm happy mother to laid him in. So just as we are like in 1994 Patrol in Vrindavan when we are sitting in his room, he said, stay in his corner, don't leave his corn and serve my mission. You know, don't give up my mission. Serve my mission.

Because they are unwilling to come and be with the devotees. They just won't come into the association of devotees. They lose their faith. They lose their love and trust for the association of devotees. So it's really important more and more to have these gatherings and just bring the devotees together. This summer I was traveling in China and in northern China, it's very close to the borders of Russia, over up into Northern Russia, which is Prabhu Vishnu Maharaj zone. And I was invited again.

Lord Chaitanya said Sadhusanga Nama Kirtan Bhagavad Shravan Muthura Va Shimotira Shadaya Seva Sakava Sadhana, Srishta, Epanchanga, Krishna Prema Janma, Apancha Upasanga. So he stretched out five. He enumerated 64 items of devotional service. But out of these he stressed 5. And first in the list he said Sadhusanga and Namakirtan. Of course Harinam Sankirtan is the Yuga Dharma, but without the association of devotees.

Offer my best and seats to your lordship's dragon of all the names, Subhadra Radakrishna, Goanitai, His Divine Grace, Siva um Vishnu Path, Paramahamsa Pribakacharya Song and my basis of respect to my dear Godbrothers, Their holiness is Prabhu Sami Maharaj, Bhakti Vigna Vinash and Ashimaraj and Bhakti Vajendananda and Swami Maharaj who have graced this occasion until all the assembled looking around the room and there's A lot of our older members of the Kuala Lumpur Yatra that I don't see. And it was noting that it's quite amazing in a good sense also. One sense though, that I didn't like add them up exactly, but it seems that more than 50% of the members here are young, like a lot of the young people. And that's, I think, very encouraging also because a lot of times you have religious functions and all the old people show up because they're worrying about, you know, before they die, they want to go back, you know, just compare themselves. But especially in India, the young people. But because of so many time restraints, it's not possible to give that kind of personal guidance training to everybody. Prabhupada expressed himself, if you'd like to personally, the Blessed Gospel. So he wrote his books and it's a method for training his disciples. So he read his books to give his disciples kind of festivals and so on. Congregations called the sermons, they give one way of being able to abstract the devotees and so they can get some personal training. So thank you again for organizing this.

So we have come to the conclusion of the opening program. I'd like to thank the Solomon.

Do we have any, like, lighting of a lamp or something?
