mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānandaṁ mādhavaṁ śrī caitanya iśvaram

Hariḥ oṁ tat sat!

Śrīla Prabhupāda ki! Jay! Śrīla Prabhupāda ki! Jay! 

Jayapatākā Swami: I don’t know if I should speak in Bengali, Hindi or English. I hear that you have installed a deity of Śrīla Prabhupāda. In ISKCON Bongaigaon, Assam.

There was a prediction that one person, who is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s senāpati-bhakta, would go to the West and preach. Śrīla Prabhupāda at the age of about 70, he went on a cargo ship to the West. So this way, Śrīla Prabhupāda went to the West and in Los Angeles, the Deities of Rukmiṇī and Dvārakānātha spoke with Śrīla Prabhupāda and asked him to go and preach in India. And his gurudeva had instructed him to go and preach in the West. But after that he preached in the West and then also in India. Śrīla Prabhupāda is the Founder-Ācārya. I am very happy that you have a new preaching center, and you have a deity of Śrīla Prabhupāda installed there. We have a temple in Siliguri and in Guwahati of ISKCON. This Bongaigaon has a temple now and I am very happy. There is a temple in Gangtok now and I don’t know, I hear that Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar also there are ISKCON temples coming up. I hear that Bongaigaon is a nice place and you are doing nice preaching and following bhakti-yoga. I am now in Māyāpur and over the internet I am able to see this program. Śrīla Prabhupāda, he got the special mercy of Lord Caitanya and because of his mercy we are able to advance. Hare Kṛṣṇa! If you have any questions you can ask.
