SA.

The devotee who was speaking earlier color. Have their words been recorded? Yes, Guru Maharaj, it's recorded. I want to hear all of that 22,000, Guru Maharaj.

So on a drive, prices are long drive, sunset.

I want that all the 22,000 devotees who have come here and all of those devotees, or all of those who will somehow other get to hear all of this. So in general, we can tell them all that it is good. It is very necessary to follow the path of devotional service. How many devotees understand English? Can you raise your hand? Those who do not understand English? Those who only understand English, please raise your hands. Who understands only English and no other language? I'll be translating. Guru Maharaj, when you speak Bengali, I will speak in. I will translate in English because devotees will hear online also. They're listening to you from all over the world.

So my English repeater, he's here.

I saw on YouTube that. I saw that the devotees from UK, they have arranged a Vyasa Puja celebration.

I wish them a happy Hare Krishna.

I wish them a happy Hare Krishna.

You said like this.

Like this. In America also, they're observing it's night for us.

But in America, they're observing it's night for us.

But in America, they're observing.

Los Angeles.

Los Angeles say there is a difference of about 12 hours between here and Los Angeles.

So we want everybody to practice devotional service.

So we want everybody to practice devotional service.

In order to establish Bhakti Yoga, she created the Navadev Dham. Navadev Dham consisting of nine islands. Each island consisting of a particular part of devotional service.

So all is chanting and hearing.

The most important are chanting and hearing.

We all the nine islands are the nine practices of devotional service.

But we go to all the nine islands. They represent the nine practices of devotional service.

Sabi, devotional service. Bhaktir, Anga, Onushilon, Kothehai. And each devotee should always practice one of the Angas, one of the limbs of devotional service.

A lot of people in Medya conception of life, they think that the material body is themselves.

Those people in the material conception of things think that the Body is the self.

Real life.

Material life as happiness and distress.

Our spiritual life is this bliss but.

Spiritual life is just bliss.

Nirananda Durejay in my Adiva Skirtan they were singing two special lines Anander Shimanai Niranamda Duryjaya that there is no end to the bliss of Ka Consciousness and all distress goes away. Nirananda Durajai all distress goes very, very far away.

In South India we visited Jitter temples at Lord Chaitanya, Manju and what the majesty lovers heal Chaichanya There in South.

India we went to the different temples that Lord Chaitanya visited and installed the lotus footprints of Lord Chaitanya there.

The unlimited unending, unending source of bliss.

One temple was called the Unending Source of Bliss.

I have seen the deity and you feel bliss and that bliss is unending.

If you see the deity you will feel bliss and that bliss is unending.

So in how you are it's not required that one takes on Yas.

So in Kali Yuga it is not required that one take sannyas.

Some kinds of sannyas are forbidden.

Some kinds of sannyas are forbidden. Most of Lord Caitanya's devotees were Grahastas.

Sriman, Chaitanya, Mahaprabhur, Odhikansha, Bhaktarai, Chilan, Grihasta.

Only a few Brahmacharis were there.

Only a few Brahmacharis were there.

Kavalmatra, Kayakjan, Brahmachari, Chillo.

Now because we have a facility and many Brahmacharis are here.

Of course we have a facility and many Brahmacharis are here.

J Mohila Sanghe Sango Bipadre in the scriptures, in the Vedic literature, Srila Prabhupada in the purports he has mentioned that in the association of women there is.

Danger because people may see them as.

Objects of enjoyment because people may see them as objects of sense gratification.

But in the ninth candle, Prabhupada Zhan when it comes to Ka consciousness, women, men, soldiers, whatever, they're all evil.

But in the 9th Canto of RMAD Bhagavatam Srila Prabhupada explains that when it comes to Ka consciousness, men, women, Shudras, they're all equal.

So Prabhupada wanted us to have all our devotees Krishna conscious.

Prabhupada wanted to have all our devotees to be Ka conscious.

When someone gets married, they shall see as a wife is Sri conscious.

When someone gets married, they should see that the Wife is Krishna conscious.

One devotee complained to Srila Prabhupada that my wife is foolish, she is illiterate, she doesn't know anything and on and on, etc. He said and he criticized the wife. Replied, replied. Why did you marry such a woman who is bereft of all good qualities in the first place?

That's right. It is good to do all checking astrology, thorough checking out. You're stuck consciousness to see that there will be a good partner.

That's why it is important to see to check, do all the checking astrology and do whatever checking is necessary to see that you are going to get a good partner.

Bhalavabe.

I think it's a bully.

Let us now say something about Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Oh, we talk a lot about Bhaktivno Thakur. But Bhakti Thakur's wife is the mother of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada. And we do not talk so much about her.

My heart. She was part of the Yogya Rahab Ram Samskara in Karnaguri gave birth to practice. Not just.

Of course. She was part of Vivaha Yajna Garbadan Samskar and Jagannath Puri to give birth to Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur.

And she was not the leader body. She called Bhati Sanda Prabhupada in her side.

When she was about to leave her body, she called Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada to her side.

And catching hold of the hand of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada.

She said please strive the movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu as far as you can.

Please spread the movement of Lord Shri Chaitanya Mahprabhu as far as you can.

So she was a very holy lady.

So she was a very holy lady. Here we see that we have many ladies Vaishnavis and we have Vaishnavas.

So I pray for all of you. We stop and we are devotional service.

So I'm praying for all of you to be very fixed up in your devotional service.

So please also your prayers to the deities.

Today you can also say your prayers to the deities.

Aj Apnara Srivikrahar Kache Apna Der Moner Antarctica. Not only today but every day you should pray to Srila Prabhupada to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu so that you can carry forward the mission of Lord Chaitanya Mah Prabhu. So every year the safari devotees they present some special dance and other cultural programs.

I saw how little stage and let us write always come up.

So I leave the stage and let the safari devotees come up.

Foreign.
