20220618 Inauguration of New ISKCON Temple

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
hariḥ oṁ tat sat

Jayapatākā Swami: I have practice to speak Bengali, but I will try to speak in Hindi. Abhaya Caraṇa Śrīla Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda preached all over the world. And he toured 14 times around the world and established 108 temples. That is the way he established the sanātana-dharma all over the world. Now ISKCON has about 800-1000 temples around the world. Thousands of Bhakti-vṛkṣas and Nāmahaṭṭas also in the world. In Karnataka there are about 21 centers and today whatever temples you see now, they have drawn strength from this temple because it was there from the beginning. I welcome the esteemed Governor of Karnataka warmly. Bengaluru has about 8 temples now. My desire is that Karnataka becomes Kṛṣṇa Caitanya deśa. The economic status of people also improves. I hope that now the Governor is here for inauguration of the temple, but when the 3^rd floor is inaugurated, he comes as the President. Thank you.
