Samurai. Today is a very special day for us. So we will be distributing Bhakti Satri certificates to those devotees who attended Bhakti Satri program in Bengali last year. In my during this part of the year we begin of the Sahastra program for the non speaking devotees. And during winter season we hold for English speaking devotees. All God of religion Prabhupada has given instruction to all of us to take Bhakti Satri course. Vedic knowledge has to be awarded in four different levels beginning with Bhakti Satvi, then Bhakti Vaibha, then Bhakti Vedanta and finally Bhakti Sarvag. My desire help my disciples to get this title of Bhaktivedanta not the cycle and this cycle and so on. Also utilize the name Bhakti De Janta Little Heartbeat. So one time during Bhargudi festival time all of a sudden he gave instruction to his disciples that we have to start Bhakti Sahsi program. Even though we were not prepared for that because we didn't have that kind of systematic way of inciting education to the devotees. So first two years from lecture of devotion then lecture of instruction and Shisha Upanishad and he imputed devotees who were going to take exam for this Muktisachi program. I was sitting next to all of us at the time and I was one of the examiner. I was one of the examiners. So I took the running exam and I secured past position. I am working initially I passed the test and I don't know all positions. I don't know what position I got. I mean I 90%. So one time I got this. So I don't remember but anyway I got the title of the Saskin. So far up till now we have progressed a lot. Our syllabus has been more systematic and progressively we are imparting this education to our students. I'm very happy to see that this Brahmachari and Amartav this Grand Prixoti has opportunity to take part in this systematic study. I have 60 question has a set of initiations. I do not require anyone if they can deduct the Sast. One time Sri Prabhupada saying that devotees who are distributing books they should know what is there inside the book. If somebody asks then what is there in the book? If they say, I do not know. Then Baba must not have it all his followers to study his pictures very nicely. He used to translate at night different scriptures. Like during the month of either October 7th graduation or something like that. And he used to spend around one month staying in Mayapur. And his main business was translating books at nighttime. Devotees from Puja department, especially like Johnny Bhattav they wish to accomplish. This room was filled with fragrance incense did not bother to the power for translation. That message is still lying with your power back in his room in order to translate severe difficulties. But he will fully accepted the difficulty to his life expecting his disciples. Great disciples will sleep. So we are very happy today for devotees who have already secured bhakti chastri. And also devotees who have newly joined to take part in officers. Tomorrow we're going to begin a new day again tomorrow. Please raise your hand. Devotees are not present here today. Award haknisa Sri to 32 students. So I would like to stop here. Sam Sa Mayapur Institute In Mayapur we have regularized my own shield. And where devotees from all over the world are coming and taking different courses. This is not a temple or mosque, but this is an educational institution. In Denmark, in India, we have got a lot of temples. So many people they approach to these temples in like thousands in numbers. And they offer some worship to the deity with an expectation to get something in return for the needy. So these people who came to the temple with an intention to offer some homages to the lady. And in return they wanted to get some something. So this business remains limited with such kind of thoughts. So the Vedic education Vedic knowledge was not flourishing the way it supposed to be flourished. So due to the lack of Vedic education, people started to follow different paths and they started to worship different amigos. People just start to worship the deities or demigods. But they don't know what is the reason behind. Sometimes they do think, oh, my ancestors, they used to do. They used to call these. I used to. So because of such kind of misunderstanding, some our Vedic knowledge has come to such a critical stage. Just to narrate this, I want to narrate one story. Their grandma is extra body shake of.
Their.
Story says one morning there was a marriage ceremony being held in one of the villages that day. So many guests have come, so many things happen. So just we attended many ceremony, many guests, relatives. So many people they gather around in that house. So there was a pussycat in that house. And that cat was running around here and there and touching with his mouth through different Radiance and making everything contaminated. So mother of the daughter, she thought this musical is distributed so well. So let me keep it under one basket of this crate. While mother kept that pushy cat under the basket. She thought maybe this is a tradition when there is a marriage ceremony a pussycat has to be kept under one basket. Another daughter, well, her daughter was to get married. So she was thinking, oh, there is a necessity to keep under one basket. She didn't have a pushy cat at her home. So she brought one pushing from neighbor's house and kept it. So this idea became more strong, more concentrated in the mind of death who are going to admire. So when that daughter's daughter was to get married. So on her wedding ceremony day they had to bring one pussycat from the neighboring village because there was no pussycat in their villa. So if we don't understand the code of the basic knowledge then we will end up with this into with an expectation that we all will study his books and knowledge without Bhakti is like Mayaka. So we are trying our very best. How we can make center for education in Mayapur. Devotees from all over the world means 12 countries they would come and study scripture here. America, German Dhapan. I don't know. I don't know whether at that time devotees used to come from Japan, France, Russia, US UK but at least devotees used to come from Croatia, Bihar, different parts of India. And now devotees from all over the world are coming to Mayapur and taking this from China are coming to Taipan, New Zealand. At one point there was a famous Chinese Vensa so he came to India. Then it was a record. There was a great celebration of his Vensa has come to India to learn a Rajputi culture, to learn the Dandic culture. Hundreds of homes are coming from China to learn the Indian culture and it's a capital at the end. I would like to thank all the students they have given their time. It's not such a easy job. I know it's great austerity to go through this course. I thank to all of them for fulfillment. Thank you. Lamatari prime there are 75 + Mark patients.
