We'd like to thank Maharaj for coming and gracing our Sadasunga Retreat 2023. It's always been my desire that he would come, but he's such an active preacher all over the world that couldn't always make it. But now he's here and we're very grateful. Wonderful class and we feel very blessed. And we'd like to invite you back every year because we Plan to have 24, 25, 26, 27 forever Sadha Sangha Retreat Jai Patako Swami Maharasha Ki Srila.
Prabhupada ki Sadhu Sangha Retreat Ki Tai Gonde.
Do we have question and answers or do we end here?
Oh, Hare Krishna. Please, everyone, just stay. I mean, we can have one question. See, the difficulty is like this. We have now our Jaipattaka Maharaj amongst us, and obviously we would like to have a question and answer session so that there is some communication between the devotees. But there's also this cruel entity called time. And we want you to. What do we do now? I am perplexed. Well, Maharaj, I had one question while the lecture was going on. And may I ask this question? How are you?
Very happy.
I'm very happy to be in Krishna consciousness.

Thank you very much, Maharaj. And it's such a good example how Ka consciousness can empower a devotee to overcome material obstacles. Thank you very, very much for coming and to leading us with this important example that when you are Ka conscious or trying to be Ka conscious, one can actually overcome material obstacles. We would like to have more of an exchange now happening. But the thing is, like this. It is good if you take your Prasaram now and have a maximum amount of chanting going on. We start here at the stage at 9 o' clock so please come back in big numbers. Let us make this Sunday a wonderful day in the Sadhusanga and we need your full participation as much as possible. Hare Krishna.
