I am very happy that you all came here tonighṭ. And we are very, very, very happy to hear that all of you are very dedicated to serving Krsna. I heard that this year, Janmsthami was a very big success and you all played very important roleṣ. I know how this Tirupati is a very special place, this is the Vaikuntha on eartḥ. Here the Lord had his pastimes. Thirty five crores of people come here every year. Therefore there is a lot of opportunity to tell people about Krsna. The TTD [Tirupati Thirumalai Devasthanam] is taking care of all the visitors, but they don’t have much time to preach. This also gives the ladies a chance to tell all the ladies about Krsna. How that in this Kaliyuga by chanting the holy names of Krsna we get spiritual elevation to his spiritual abode. There are so many defects in Kaliyuga but one great quality, “eko mahan gunah kirtanad eva krsnasya” that is to chant the holy name of Krsna.
I saw in Bangalore, in one temple Krsna dancing on head of Kaliya with Nagapatnis. I saw many ladies gathering around that place, I asked,“Why is that?” They said that,”How the Nagapatnis prayed to Krsna for their husband, like that they are praying for their husbands to become Krsna Conscious.” So some of you are conscious that your husband is Krsna Conscious. And some husbands may not be advanced in Krsna Consciousness, so by the influence of the lady, the husband, the children, they can all be Krsna Conscious. So we are depending on you also to maximum influence, to make your families Krsna Conscious. Some may not be married, some may be married and some maybe older, all of you have many important roles to play. So please accept my blessings and ashirvaads.
I would like to give you all gifts for your wonderful service on occasion of Lord Krsna’s Janmashtami.
