Yeah, you can hear my question. Prabhu, can you tell Maharaj?

Yes, yes Prabhu, he can hear you.

Maharaj, Humble obeisance. At your lotus speed. You always have had a big heart in welcoming Yatriks to Mayapur. And I came first in 1993 and since then we have been dozens of times to Mayapur. Thank you for your big heart in accommodating thousands and thousands of devotees from all over the world without any reservation here. Devotees in Mayapur have been taking perfect care of us. I see it as your mercy permeating through them. So I want to thank you firstly for that. And I had one question to you Maharaj. Many of our students who have come here this time we had about 500 students come coming to 10 to 12 rounds or 16 rounds now. Enchanting Hare Krishna and also many senior boys have also come. So one question many of them ask us is it's very easy to begin spiritual life. But how to maintain a persistent enthusiasm all through our life? Because they are asking that his oldest Epadika Maharaj, you know, he came way back in 1968. Now it is 2024. Practically 56, 55, 56 years. He has faithfully served his spiritual master. And Srila Prabhupada left the world in 1977. But even after Prabhupada went back to Godhead till without reducing your enthusiasm, how you have been able to go on and on for almost more than five to six decades. So many of them are very surprised and they want to learn some pointers from you on how we can go on with our spiritual life for our whole life like you.

So I'm disciple of AC Bhakti Vedanta, Swami Prabhupada.

I am a disciple of his divine grace, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

At the age of 70, he went to the USA to spread the Sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya.

He faced many challenges.

But he tolerated all those he lost the mercy of Lord Caitanya.

So we hear that we cannot repay we alter the spiritual Astra.

So we hear that we cannot repay the debt that we hold for our spiritual master.

I am trying to repay the debt.

So I am trying to repay the.

Debt to whatever extent I can.

To whatever extent I can.

If anyone would like to help me, I don't mind.

If anyone would like to help me, I don't mind.

And maybe amongst these 500 devotees, maybe.

Amongst these 500 devotees, some who would like to help, There would be some who would like to help Prabhupada.

Lord gave me about 30 instructions.

Srila Prabhupada gave me about 30 instructions.

So I want to fulfill those and also there are many others. Many other instructions.

I want to fulfill those and also there are many other instructions.

This is so much bliss.

To serve Krishna.

But whether you serve as a Brahmachari or as a Grihashta, but whether you.

Serve as a Brahmachari or as a.

Grihasta, the plan is that we should do all our service with the eye of pleasing Lord Caitanya.

So the point is that we should do all the service for pleasing Lord Caitanya.

Yesterday in The ILDS hospital, I was preaching to the two doctors and lady.

Yesterday in the ILBS hospital, I was preaching to two doctors and one lady.

One daughter was living with her mother, and I preached to her she should keep Krishna in the center.

So one doctor came with her husband, not living with her husband, and I living with her husband. I preached to her how she should keep Krishna in the center. Sorry, Guru Maharaj.

Other lady, other doctor, she was separated.

From her husband, and other lady, other doctor, she was separated from her husband.

But I told she had the name Madhavi. I said, you're very intelligent, sir.

She had the name Maidavi. I said. She said, she has this name, madhavi. And I told her that she's very intelligent.

And so she said she would continue chanting.

So she said that she would continue chanting.

On the way out, I met one.

Lady, and then on the way out.

I met one lady whose husband was taking drugs.

Whose husband was taking drugs.

And her father was in the icu.

And her father was in the icu.

Because he was an alcoholic.

Because he was an alcoholic.

And he had cirrhosis of the liver.

And he had cirrhosis of the liver.

So another patient I saw he was on so many intravenous shots so another.

Patient I saw, he had so many.

Intravenous shots while my seeing him, he.

Felt better, but by my seeing him, he felt better.

And he got off of many of the endothelial things.

You see, you're starting out, so all these questions come up.

Not like question never comes up.

That that question never come there. That question never comes up.

And after sometime we feel so much inspiration and want to serve Krishna.

So one can serve Krishna.

So one can serve Krishna in different ways. In different ways.

Some may be very strong Brahmacharis.

Some may be very strong Brahmacharis.

Some may be married to a devotee.

Some may be married to a devotee.

Either way.

Either way.

Idea I told Rod told in 1973 in London.

The idea that RLA Prabhupada told in 1973 in London was that was that.

All the devotees should try to be Paramahamsas.

All the devotees should try to be Paramahamsas.

He told the Sri Paramahamsas, even the.

Grihasthas should be Paramahamsas.

So when you realize in the spiritual world everybody loves Krishna, you realize in.

The spiritual world everybody loves Krishna.

And there's an material world we're trying to imitate.

In this material world we are trying to imitate.

And therefore we have different relationships.

Therefore we have different relationships.

Well, eventually we realize that the role for us is to hold Krishna consciousness.

But eventually we'll realize the real purpose is to have Ka consciousness.

You see, Lord Chaitanya, he is supreme personality.

Lord, you see, Lord Caitanya is the supreme personality of Godhead.

So I came to Lord Chaitanya to realize what is the ecstasy of devotees filled with him.

So he came as Lord Caitanya to realize what is the ecstasy that the devotees feel for him.

In the beginning of devotional service, he do things, direct rules and regulations.

In the beginning of devotional service, you do things by following rules and regulation.

And eventually you get devotion, which is Raganuga, which is spontaneous.

That so much bliss, so much ecstasy.

And then so much bliss, so much ecstasy.

You wonder how the devotees, how they're surviving.

Surviving without any wish, without any bliss. So you must be getting a little bliss.

And at that time you don't think that there's any other way at that time.
