In this online address delivered on 7 September 2025 to devotees in Mathuradesh (Madhya Desh), His Holiness Jayapataka Swami combines devotional instruction with practical updates for the ISKCON community. He begins by celebrating the recent Bhadra Purnima and acknowledges the ability of modern technology (Zoom, internet) to spread Krishna consciousness worldwide. He reports on the distribution of Srimad Bhagavatam, the awarding of certificates and financial milestones (some grihastas achieving sales of up to 60 lakhs) and encourages householders to engage in book‑selling as devotional service. He introduces the Transcend app – an audio‑ebook platform covering most Indian languages and English – noting a special discount for users in Bangladesh but not for India, and clarifies its availability in Madhya Desh. The Swami then shifts to devotional practice: he stresses the importance of chanting the holy name, prescribing a minimum of 16 rounds (1 728 mantras) per day, and outlines the progressive stages of bhakti from eliminating unwanted habits (Anartha Nirvṛti) through Mishta, Āsakti, Bava/Rati, Prema and finally Mahābhava, highlighting the role of family members, especially husband‑wife collaboration, in sustaining practice. He contrasts fleeting material happiness with the lasting bliss of Krishna consciousness, invites questions, and concludes with logistical notes about a forthcoming lunch break. Throughout, the address blends spiritual guidance, community logistics, and encouragement for modern devotional engagement.
