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: The key to the whole city of New Orleans in the USA was given by the mayor to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda! Haribol! They still have that key to the city on the wall there. So, this tradition is being followed here. And that is why we are given the key of the temple. It would be very useful if we get the key of the city! We want to make Bengaluru a Kṛṣṇa conscious city. So, like this, it starts with small things. Giving the key to the city. So here the temple president was giving us the key to the temple. So that means that this temple is owned by the Deities. Previously, we had Jagannātha, Baladeva, Subhadrā, now we have Gaurasundara Nityananda Natavara, and Rādhā Vinoda! I was just testing you!! You were chanting very nicely during the abhiṣeka! And so there are many other speakers but we should take this opportunity to serve and worship Rādhā Vinoda!
