The following is an evening address given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on May 3rd, 2022 at the ISKCON Patna Temple inauguration ceremony, Bihar, India.

Jayapatākā Swami: I would like to thank all the ministers and governor for coming here, also to Kṛṣṇa Kṛpā dāsa, who has worked so hard to manifest this temple. Also, all the senior devotees who have come from all over India. The Deities here are Lord Nityānanda, Lord Gaurāṅga. I thank all the devotees who were doing service in the building of this temple. Bihar is the birthplace of Sītā Devī and Lord Kṛṣṇa had come here. The līlā of Gajendra-mokṣa also happened here. I hope that (spiritual) education will expand from this temple. Thank you. Hare Kṛṣṇa!
