This is a transcript of a 2004 YouTube video (South India Safari, Part 17) documenting a multi-speaker spiritual gathering in Hyderabad focused on Krishna consciousness. Devotees from many countries chant Hare Krishna mantras, thank local hosts (including a donor who gave land for a temple), praise the city and mayor, and discuss intercultural participation (including Muslim and international devotees). The transcript includes greetings, short personal testimonies, announcements about logistics and prasadam (sweets), and ends with a channel-promotion line.
We don't mind. Anyone from any religion can chant whichever name they like. But we all unite even though we are from different religions. We come together and chant the Hare Mishra Mahavakra. Let us for the blessing of being blessed Mayor Team Krishna Reddy and for the welfare of the whole city. Let's all chant the Hare Krishna Mahamamsha once now as an information. So how many of you like your visit to Andhra Pradesh Singha temples Balaji? How many like your visit here to Hyderabad? How many want to come back again for so many tourists? And you want to tell other people how nice Hyderabad is when you go back to your country?

I will tell everyone that this is a wonderful city.
It's very clean and the people are very very friendly. Okay, so Vancouver is conquered already. Because Peter knows everybody in Vancouver. I even know the mayor. I don't know if you understood. He explained that this city is 60 lakhs. That means 6 million people in the Metropolitan Corporation. Apart from the suburbs which again is more 6 million people, fastest growing city in Asia. It's considered a cyber city.
