20260326 Initiation Address

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-gurun dina tāriṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram
Harihi oṁ tat sat

Jayapatākā Swami: Every fortnight I am sending out a message for my disciples, my spiritual sons and daughters. But it doesn’t reach everybody. How many of you get it? You can give your email address. I hope no one remains deprived of receiving this message. I am trying to reach out to you so that you can be connected with you, and that you receive my instructions – I hope you are getting the messages. Some think that once initiation is got, everything is finished. It is NOT SO! Now, you have only taken birth! The work has just begun! You have vowed that you will chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, practice devotional service and become Vaiṣṇavas. That you will follow the regulative principles and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and do service to Lord Kṛṣṇa!

Anyway, if someone doesn’t agree, please leave this place. If you do not want to do service to Kṛṣṇa and stay in the material world, that is up to you! Initiation means that you are declaring war against Māyā! Are you all ready? I will chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra three times:

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/
Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare!
