Very glad to welcome you to Mayapur.

So Sushvagatam, we are very glad to welcome you all to Mayapur.

And this youth reaching is something that Lord Caitanya, he started this youth preaching.

Is something that Lord Chaitanya started. Actually.

He was in Navadva up to the age of 24.

Actually he was in Navadva up to the age of 54.

I remember about he was doing a lot of youth preaching.

That means that he was doing a lot of youth preaching.

He had his own right rounded, he had a toe.

So he was known as Nimai Pandit. And he had a school.

And he also very close with any educated boys.

And he also worked close with many educated boys.

But because he was young himself, sometimes the educated boys didn't appreciate.

Since he was young himself, sometimes the educated boy didn't appreciate enough.

And I came to deliver all these people that being offensive.

And he thought I came to deliver all these people but they are being offensive.

That's not going to be helpful.

That sounds like it's not going to be helpful for them.

And then at the age of 24 he took Sannyas.

So at the age of 24 he.

Took SannyAS as Gaya At Gaya. I think don't hear from Gaya.

Anyone here is from Gaya. Someone there tonight.

Last visit.

During my last visit. During my last visit to Gaia I established the lotus footprint of Lord Caitanya.

Lord Chaitanya he went to Rishtaraya and he also received initiation in Gaya.

Because Lord Chaitanya he went to Vishnu Gaya and he also received initiation in Gaya.

When he came back from Gaya he started the Sankirtan movement.

And when he came back from Gaya he started the Sankirtan movement.

I always say that in the harmony Lord Chaitanya first manifested Lord Krishna.

I would say that in Bihar Lord Chaitanya first manifested love of Krishna.

All right. Prabhupada, he was encouraging that we should get boys and girls and we should preach in the colleges.

Anyways, Prabhupada was encouraging that we should give intelligent boys and girls and we should preach in the colleges and.

You know, learn how to disciple our saint that when you preach to the college or university students and he wrote a.

Letter to his disciple that when you preach to the college and university students.

You should have them do what they like to do. Har Krishna.

You should have them do what they like to do for Krishna.

If someone's a farmer, he'll like farming.

If someone is a farmer he likes farming.

Someone is a computer whiz, he likes a white collar job.

So if someone is a computer whizz.

He likes white white collar job or.

He likes a white collar job.

It was like that here Rah Rah was saying to engage arise in something that sounds easy to them.

So like this Prabhupada said to engage the boys in something that comes easy to them.

And in this way because many boys girls drawing is silent.

So of course in this way many boys and girls joined ISKCON So Ra.

All over the world. He was many youth.

So Lord Chaitanya's movement which was brought by Srila Prabhupada to the world it.

Has many uses archives. Well everybody wants you to go.

Of course not everybody was youth but.

Most of them so rat being and tell that his of course Prabhupada was.

Saying that if we can attract the intelligent youths it would be very.

Auspicious.

It would be very auspicious. Now.

We see here I admire all kinds of people come.

We see here like in Mayapur we see all kinds of people come families.

Youths, all lives are vivo family youths.

All kinds of people.

The youth teachers are going out and having programs at universities, colleges and here.

The youth preachers are going out to having programs in the universities and colleges.

Be very expert how to make Ka consciousness interesting.

So you should be very expert in how to make Ka consciousness very interesting.

Prahladvas advising we don't have to like shave them out right away.

The Prabhupada is advising that we don't have to shave them out right away.

Let people come and naturally take part.

Let people come and nationally take part. So.

How Lord gave great importance to the.

Youth preaching Anyway, Srila Prabhupada gave great importance to the youth preaching.

And that's why I'd like to thank everybody for joining us.

That's why I would like to thank everybody for doing this.

We don't like. We don't like that people are Brahmacharis or people are married.

We don't mind if people are Brahmacharis if they're married.

But Important thing that they shouldn't do is devotional service.

The important thing that they should do is devotional service.

By doing devotional service, you are purified.

And by doing devotion service, they would get purified.

The Lord Chaitanya Najananda, the servant of the Lord sent all people.

Lord Chaitanya Nithyananda descended to deliver the sinful people.

That no one can claim in Kali Yuga. And they haven't done any sin.

No one can claim in Kali Yuga that they have not done any sin.

Lord Chaitanya. Sisters like Nethin and others, they were loving these single people.

Lord Chaitanya, assisted by Nityananda and others. They were delivering these sinful people.

That while Chaitanya didn't discriminate and he's qualified, he's not qualified. And give the mercy to everyone.

Lord Chaitanya, he didn't discriminate that he is qualified. He is not qualified. He gave out the mercy freely to everyone.

So like this we all are ka to everyone.

Like this we offer ka to everyone.

Some like sat, some like that.

Some will accept and some may not. We go on, but we go on too.

And I find in the West, I don't know what it's like in India.

In the colleges like we find it in the west. I don't know what it is like in India, but. But we find it in the colleges.

You can tell me later that students like that. Approachable, friendly.

So you can tell me later what it is like in India. But student likes those who are very approachable, very friendly.

And so the youth reachers, they tend to be like that. Very positive. I gave some classes at Cape Town University in South Africa.
