20221116 Addressing Devotees

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram
Harihi oṁ tat sat

Jayapatākā Swami: We have come here for this program, on the way to Haldia. Now so many devotees have congregated here for which I am greatly indebted. Śrīla Prabhupāda said in London that all his gṛhastha disciples should be paramahaṁsas. This way, you should all try to serve the Lord. And this way, you will never forget Kṛṣṇa and remember Kṛṣṇa all the time. This way you should always stay in the service of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Śravaṇam, kīrtanam, smaraṇam, vandanam, pāda-sevanam, arcanam, dāsyam, sakhyam, ātma-nivedanam – you do these nine types of devotional practices. This way Lord Kṛṣṇa said, that you forget everything and just surrender to Him and He will make everyone happy! Haribol! So chant the names of Kṛṣṇa and learn the teachings of Kṛṣṇa and your life will be successful. I hope that all of you will find bliss in this service to Lord Kṛṣṇa!
