First page is. First page was completed and so was a big function. The Chief Minister of the state personally came Mr. Kuhten K H U U O o o m and we got to ribbon in auger and these 12 railways. So there were thousands of dollars there for that grand opening this amaz. So we're building there in this land. The first stage is halls and seminar rooms and facilities for guests. Then we went to Vrindavan to the afternoon Srirath Yatras also right now you.

Went to Vrindavan, then into Mayapur, I think. Then came back to Malaysia. Came back to Malaysia for the Radayatra festival.

Then we went the Bhishma Panchak. A special five days at the end of character from the Kanthasi to do that five days, one of three kinds of fasting you worship Ka. Offering lamps to Krishna bathe in the holy river is to Ramana Puja. In fact it said that so much mercy comes that it cannot be calculated how much mercy comes. We had 250 devolves eating fruits and roots. So five days. First two days. Okay. But you get to go every dayports especially good because Bhishma is the son of the Ganges. So we all do Bhishma Puja inside the Ganges. It's kind of interesting because we do tarpan in the Puja everyday. You know what tarpon is? What is Tarpaulin is offering a puja for holy rivers. For the well being of a forefather. Say your grandmother passed away and you want to send her a package of some mercy. You can do tarpon and offer her. So there's a mantra for Takra, for Bhishma Deva and it says Ajatma Brahmachari name from one of the verses. Like from his childhood to the son of the Siva. Although he didn't see how wonderful it is that Krishna arranges. He didn't have any children, but thousands and millions of his spiritual descendants are offering him Tantric. All the Indian parents are hopeful that when I grow old, when I die, my ancestors, my descendants, rather they'll do this puja from. So in case I get stuck up in some lousy place, I get a nice little special bonus. How many want to send a package for your previous profiles? Say we did this piece for fun. My amphora is very special during high tech months. Ritten island also super nice. It was a Vrindavan Karatepe. But you know, the Ritten island temple is smaller than the Mayapur temple. So Mayapur they turn the lights and they have Hundreds of candles and lamps and things out in front of the deity. And then the. There's thousands of people that are in the pinning of the temple. Everybody's offering candles, but it's not candles. Gewigs they make thousands of GE wigs every night. Different sponsors. So when you see her belly offering their length, it's a very, very special effect. You know, they have very nice sing nice. You dim the lights and do it here. Turn off the lights on the day. So when you're actually offering the lamp it.

You were in Malaysian labayatras Then from there we went to Krishna Kanayadesh.

Back to Malaysia. After visiting two places in India, I went to Soul Chatham.

No quiet. So massive pipes.

It's very tight. End of the year my programming is very tight. So this place back in India went to Silchar, went to Orissa. They have. I said there are 10,000 people. This was the first time I went to this country taping. I changed. I changed when I met. But then somehow this is the first time in the history of. They put in the whole blue split system. And the government said it's definitely very good. But never rains there. It's a desert, hardly rains once in a blue moon. Hasn't rained for 20 years. So when we were there, we did a cute time on Holme. Not the whole night. We did a pogium also. There's about 50 the loyalians there. Been a nice clear task and everything that night at the torrential rain, cars flying away. The never rains because there's no drainage system. So I end up warning flight to kids. We spend like two or three hours driving around trying to find their way out. Wherever we got it was flooded. Finally the very first place we planned to go. But someone told don't go that way. It's flooded. It turned out it wasn't flooded. There was an underpass that was flooded. But then you can go. You can skip the undergrass and just go under.

Go back.

While we were going all the way up half tire we were changing the entire house. But see, never the water kept rising and you could literally see cars floating, you know, down the road up to the lights half covered with water. It was a really amazing thing. So the Krishna Shodhi wants to flood this place. And somehow we got to the airport to do some refunded. But I missed all the flight. We there for four hours in the airport and I handed the Voice a few of the ones that are with us. But it was exciting. We just got them all set up. They got to start turning at the rope. No, we agreed to the next graduates. It's not advisable to do 2 don't go at this point because it's not a sectarian country. It's illegal to do anything. Even amongst the strangers. It's illegal to speak. You're caught doing trouble in jail and all that sort of people. We should have a program that appreciates the Arabs that are going to school of America and Europe and get them to be devotees and let them go back and preach because they can. It's their country, they can do it. Before Internet they stick out to us this one just like you get someone complaining about another place nearby called Ballarat. Everything is there. But in that place actually we've been legally registered by the Social Affairs Ministry. We give a registration that you're allowed to meet with Nehemiah's society and as long as nobody complains. It's a very shaky and just after getting registered the local neighbors complained. But now they're going to shift to a new place and build us up to actually legally be able to meet some very big things. Most places you don't have a legal right to meet. You just sneak in there. They can meet but they have no very.

Then Bangkok, Australia, New York. Came back to Kolkata, went to Bangkok, bought the ticket. Bangkok, Australia, New England. Black portrait.

Then it's in a corner of India. Nobody I mean if you're all welcome to come there and see it sometime. Nobody knows they're not there. Foreign devotees, Indian devotees. It's like way on the other side. Like when you see the map of India, the Bangladesh. There's this part of India that's on the opposite side of Bangladesh. Manipur, Chapura. So one section of it is called Kachar, Assam. Had a massive initiation. I've been there for over a year. We're all spoiled here. I'm not going to say SP everybody. I wasn't there for almost two years. Somehow it's very hard to get there. And once you're there it's very hard to get out. They have one flight five days a week. Somehow you never get a ticket out. Even I went there with a wait list ticket to come back. And we had to somehow use our influence. Maybe less ticket. Otherwise I'd have to drive six hours to go to there. There's lots of things please are better. You get to see the Camphill, they don't want you to come back. Trains are better. And if you go there they don't want you to come back here. They want you to change. They want to cancel you there. You have a lot of work to do there by the train. Yeah, I have a lot of work to do. That's the three days of the train. Anyway, we had some really nice programs to always be very happy to spend.

Some time with him.

We went and transited the Bangkok temple. It's my first visit to Bangkok for a couple of years. For some years also now I have a visit regular visit. They have a very nice program. I found so many disciples from Nepal who were studying their aristocratic family and families. They started a bhakti dictionary group in the middle of Sunday program in the main park. They did a bhakti Rich. But the main program was done by. We went to. I went to Australia. Melbourne. They have Snanyatra and Boxing Day. No, Boxing Day. The day after Christmas. 26 December is called boxing Day. Because that day the tsunami hit. But the first day was like. Normally it took a couple days. The same thing when I used to happen. Maybe President Bushman took it seriously, for instance. So that festival wasn't affected. Whether it was. We had that New Zealand for a day. Melbourne will do everyday morning wives Darshan for the study. After they have a thousand people coming really bathe Jagannath. So it's a very festival and they're Jagannath already he has lotus feet. Narasana Jagannath lotus feet. So when they bathe him, you can see that actually he's got little bodhis feet. They asked me and Paul Paul said why not? Then I went to New Zealand to see the Devi Zachary installation of the swami. DV surveys my rob of 6 that's furthest to the east coast of Australia. Sunrise is there first. So they have big Radh Yatra on New Year's eve day from 9pm till 12. And a few days before that they have a festival on the beach. Usually a Rath Yatra on the beach. But this year we didn't do a Rath Yatra. This is in Hari now and the festival next to the beach. So there a few hundred devotees at Lordan Byron Bay Festival highlight is the Rathyatra to do a Rathyatra's Eve. It's the whole thing on New Year's Eve. But this is like an alternative village. Alternative to they pass rules of order from Greek times too. The government this year the government wrote to the devotees when I heard they were thinking about bath going there. Request them please do their radioactive. Many years ago there was a riot burning shops and windows stuff during the New Year's Eve. So the year after that they had a procession and it became very peaceful. Since then it's part of the thing there. But they don't let McDonald's set up Ashantis, all the old kind of rustic stuff. Some middle aged 60s type people had set up this town of Egypt. Everybody there's a follower of some yoga and another. So it's a very interesting place. A lot of people come from outside as far as East Place. There's three swamis there. From our swami channel One time where I want to go from Bandicoot to our own. The next time we drove back two, three o' clock morning, got up early through the city. We inaugurated a new cultural center. ISKCON purchases ISKCON. Wow. ISKCON purchased 20 acre plaque with a couple million dollars with the idea, let's say it's saying was a resort with a capacity of 150 people. They were making it to alternative resort facility. Especially because so many studies are made. The modern people, yoga, Hatha Yoga and all this alternative lifestyle, meditation, everything. It's very huge market for that. So to provide that type of facility which would then cultivate the people that are taking yoga classes or teach them yoga. Since whether they host them 90 yoga also they have this concept that they want to do them and they're precious to place in our old grandma. He was here many years ago. Man and wine took rest till noon, went out there, woke up, spoke at this celebration till two was there for the took. Prasad contemplated to makeup. Next day we do the Sunday program in the park. Our better program was Gita. Then from there when we were done, we went to Miami two days. Then we came down to Orissa and got sick. But they had thousands of people. 20,000 people comes out two people. So they were there three days in our reset at this festival. Then they went to Calcutta and flew down to Coimbatore. Two days spent maturity at another universe. So many. There are a lot of people in the Rathyatra procession and there was. Then we went to Madurai and the road is. We went the nice route to Sri Lanka met with Medullinus one in one character for the tsunami relief program. Our devotees have been distributing 10,000 plates a day at Kukomalaya. So he discussed with him and decided that he would check it out at some in vertical line Eastern positive. Well then I went from Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka to. I can't get too comfortable here. To Chennai, Chennai Rathiatra Chennai rather quite nice also thousands of people rose for a long Way big hall, filled up every night. Then from there we went to the youth festival in Pune somewhere.

4000 Food for Life in Chennai.

And also the night of the 14th we went out for Tsunami prasadam and. And about a thousand places for the student. People were running when we got there. Literally we saw people from distance running. So I thought that was a good sign. Even if someone said well someplace we will get some government food too. But somehow they were running. So I thought that we had a huge queue. The police helped us to give out men and women and children only the youth festival. Tell us about the youth festival.

It was big. The first time they had this in India. National Youth Festival in India. About four to five thousand youths came from all Ombi. So each ISKCON centers they brought their own youth group. It's called ISKCON Youth Forum. And this big festival they have had this in big Maida Reina and lot of Swami Sadhguru Radhanath Maharaj, Lokanath Maharaj. It's also part of the 108th celebration of Srila Prabhupada Appearance day. And the each is Kon center they set up their own stalls, nice exhibitions. And the program was from the whole day. Like from morning till late night. 10 o'.

Clock. Yeah, I was late 10 minutes. I missed my speaking slot. No mercy ready. You know, mercy. Very timely, very punctual. It was like careful intellectuals. Then from there we went down to Hyderabad. Hyderabad just started this year Bhakti rickshaw groups in their temple. And they found they organized 20 groups, four sectors. And they said that they're getting the reports on the Sadhana from the group members and things. Each sector takes charge of the Sunday feast. Four sectors, four weeks. And I find that it's really working there. They said to revitalize all temple narratives. Spending for the meetings, continental meetings. So you're meeting the same time I was meeting American. Then we went to the Middle east from indoor Mathiatra in Mathura, Desh and.

K.

They have indoor math yatra because you can't have it on the street. So there's one wall that they can get. They can put. Not bad. It's fun. It's all really. We have 6,000 people to reach. People come and go. That's how many plates of Prashant? 5700. Actually 6000. The right answer is interesting. They have initiations there 55 long time temples. Often they go to Krishna.

The leave.

The leave for my permission to come to America. That was James, see. Then just as he gave me the permission to come. Then he told me that there was some problem in my on the Internet. Said there's a problem with my previous application and maybe they will refuse me when I got to the Lord. That's why you're a little tense today. So mercy. So then belly, upper belly to open this temple. It's a gentleman who's been an alpha member. And he started off his life career repairing bicycles. So he was about bicycle spokes. So he got idea using the same technology of bicycle spokes. He made a better umbrella spoke. So he made. He started making umbrellas and turned on them. He started a factory making umbrella spokes. And he got a monopoly or major share of the umbrella spokes in India. So with that it's kind of a little bitch. Don't think about it too much. So he built a temple worth maybe 30 million rupees is 23 milligrams with the solar installing right this time around.

From there he went to three vendor. Sorry, Kochi.

Also. This is a beautiful temple. Now have to install the whole deities and big festival. Then he said I want to give the whole thing to iskcon. But his life work was to build Istanbul. Wow. Now he's retired his sons and I in the business. So he wants to just do a full time puja region. Interesting. The beginning we're busy program. And from there we went to the Middle east to other challenges. A lot of places in the Middle east prime was in Red Fence. True, Laura, since November. Get some rest and then hope I'll be back to full speed tomorrow morning. Good morning class. And finally regular class tomorrow evening. Yeah, that'd be nice. Where was everyone tonight? Oh, for another time in this I went to Moscow for two days. And there we had a now because their temples under development the federal the government of new ones that started. So the congregation has no place to meet. So they had to organize the big festival. Where I went I gave lecture this Mommy let it be turned some seminars. I think so. And from there I went to Antur where the vice president temple is my disciple and one of our devotees my disciples. There. Antwerp is the diamond capital of the world. And most of the many of the diamond merchants are Hindus or Indians.

So.

Some of them want to build a temple prayer. So I met some of the diamond merchants for interrupts Here.

Act with people.

One can now have lady spend her life savings or some portion of it with a down payment to buy a new temple. There a little corner shop. The temple room is about as long as the temple room. But the width the width is wideness for the pillow here. Maybe up to here. Thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day.
