Jayapatākā Swami: The question was in what mood we have to observe the appearance festival of Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura? Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura wrote many special Vaiṣṇava songs. So we could chant some of his songs and meditate on the meanings. Like he is saying, golokera prema-dhana, harināma saṅkīrtana. If people would chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, we could have the whole world free of fear, lamentation and suffering. So anyone who believes in Allah or God or whatever, somehow or another we need to chant the holy names of the Lord. And in Sanskrit, the name of Kṛṣṇa is given, and Sanskrit is the mother language. So somehow or another, if people chant the holy names then the whole world could be happy. bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra/ janma sārthaka kari’ kara para-upakāra. If one is born in the holy land of India, one should make his life perfect and do welfare activity for others. This was spoken 500 years ago. Bhārata at that time included Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal everything. So we hope the devotees will please imbibe the mood of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and make the whole world happy.
