Nama Om Vishnu paadaaya..
Hari Haraya Naama Krishna …
Jaya Radha Madhava…
Mukham karoti…
It was a very short class today as guru maharaj was busy with meetings and came in late for the class. Class started abruptly
So in that way they get delivered. .Haridas Thakur said to the Lord that don’t worry So Prabhupad said that we should also try to relieve Lord Caitanya’s anxiety. He is anxious, how will all these conditioned souls be delivered! We want everyone to somehow or other to chant Hare Krishna. One devotee went to a Kazi who was a Muslim magistrate in ancient times. (Repeater said ‘Ekadasi’ instead of ‘kazi’ and guru maharaj corrected it is ‘kazi’ not ‘ekadasi’) could be any day. He said sir, I want to tell you one thing. You are religious, you are handsome, you are rich, you are famous, you are so wonderful. So I have one request. Please forget all of it and chant Hare Krishna! The Kazi said I will chant Hare Krishna tomorrow. The devotee started jumping, you already said, you already chanted Hare Krishna, don’t stop now. Haribol! So this holy name has so much power, we cannot begin to estimate it. So we also want to chant every day and we want people to somehow or another, chant. I request people to chant 108 times Hare Krishna every day. I give them a counter. So then they chant and if they like then they chant 2 rounds, 3 rounds. Then I ask them how are you doing now? Oh, today I am chanting only 4 rounds. I say oh! 4 rounds! That is 2.5 million a year! Names of Krishna! You are a multi-millionaire! So I will chant 8 rounds then they say! So just trying to encourage people to chant, eventually, they will get up to 16 rounds. So like this, this kirtan mela we are listening and chanting Hare Krishna for five days. So this is to get purified. So this chanting here at the dham of Lord Caitanya purifies the whole world. Afterwards the parikrama, Bhakti Vinod Thakur said, it delivers the whole world. So that is my message for tonight. So for 15 minutes we will meet some yatras which were not introduced yet.
