I offer my respects unto Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, whose arms extend down to their knees, who have golden yellow complexions, and who inaugurated the congregational chanting of the holy names. Their eyes resemble the petals of a lotus; they are the maintainers of all living entities; they are the best of brāhmaṇas, the protectors of religious principles for this age, the benefactors of the universe, and the most merciful of all incarnations. (Caitanya-Bhāgavata 1.1.1)

This beautiful form of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu on the right and Lord Nityānanda Prabhu on the left, “ajānu-lambita-bhujau” – their arms go down to their knees, their eyes are big like a lotus flowers are decorating their lotus feet. These two brothers appeared 501 years ago, Lord Caitanya appeared 501 years ago in India, in Māyāpur dhāma to bring from the Spiritual world the message the method the process the message of pure love. So Lord Caitanya, you all are very fortunate to be present here before Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda. Lord Caitanya is the most merciful person, when we talk about mercy or if we try to measure mercy, you could think well, there are great people in the world who have done charitable acts someone may give free food out to hundreds and thousands of people, someone may build the hospital or endow an university, giving people education or sometimes people going to affordable place and like red cross or something and they save people from war stricken situation by then if you analyze who are the most merciful, kind, benevolent persons what they have contributed to the world, the society and then if you go a little further and try to understand what is the contribution of Lord Caitanya has brought to us, coming down from the spiritual sky here into this material world in the Kali-yuga to rescue the fallen souls to bring them back to the spiritual world to unite them in bond of eternal love of Kṛṣṇa or kṛṣṇa-prema. Of course, to bring a little more into focus, if we think of other great benefactors say there was Lord Jesus he promised that all of the followers, all his followers would be saved, everyone who would follow him would be saved. There was a devotee of Lord Caitanya, his name is Vāsudeva Dutta, he was praying to take all the suffering of all the people in the world. Whatever karma they have performed before in their life now, in this life or previous life. He requested to have all the spiritual world. Let everyone go back to godhead. This was his request, but he will alone suffer for everyone and let everyone else go back. Not only the followers, Not only his believers, whether the believers or non-believers whether followers, envious whether human beings or any animal even, his play was to deliver everyone. So that was the type of the benevolent that we find in Caitanya Mahāprabhu and his followers. By chanting the “Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare” mahā-mantra for deliverance. Not only is the chanter uplifted but those who hear even the plants, the animals, by standard everyone is benefited by the transcendental vibration. So this way Lord Caitanya came to give the most auspicious, the most favorable influence in the world. So that the effect of Kali-yuga is an absence of mercy, absence of cleanliness, absence of austerity or sacrifice for others and absence of truthfulness to contract the evil effect of Kali. Lord Caitanya brought down the system of chanting transcendental vibration. But in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta its states adya ‘pi akā śrī kṛṣṇa caitanya nāma je loya even today anyone who chants Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya if you can’t that name you chant “Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare”. Then you will be full happiness. This is the statement in Caitanya-caritāmṛta. Just recently I was on tour Bangladesh it’s with a some devotee from more than a year, specifically Kṛṣṇa-kṣetra was with us and every night we five -ten -twenty even up to 30,000 people one night present . Everyone wants to chant the names of Lord Caitanya and Hare Kṛṣṇa and afterwards I asked them they feeling happiness and every experiment they always raised hand and they said they are feeling happiness. Those who view they present in that night and chanting Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya and Hare Kṛṣṇa how many of you feeling happy while singing and dancing. So seems to be working. In all the previous ages the brāhmaṇas had such mystic potency that they could take death cow by mantra bring back to life, that was show the effect of their mantra. So now a days without use to those particularly sacrifice but in this age, we are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. So the taste the mantra if you chant the you should feel spiritual bliss. So everyone can taste this. Doesn’t cost it just taste it. Lord Caitanya, He was the first to give this to everyone in fact he was so eager to give to everyone at the age of twenty four he decided to dedicate himself to spreading this message all over and he left the his home place and taking sannyāsa He went to Jagannātha Purī and he went all over India. At that time. So that time he requested to Nityānanda Prabhu two brothers are there Nityānanda Prabhu that I have take renounced order you go back to Māyāpur to Bengal. You take married life and you show how it can be practiced as a couple husband and wife. How this process can be preached and practice by householders. So lord Caitanya he was free to go to whole India. Nityanada prabhu went back to following the order of Lord Caitanya, he took the householders ashram and he set up his place in Navadwipa, the sacred Dham, it’s place called Godruma. So there Lord Nityananda attract literally thousands and thousands of people come and he would have big Harinam Kirtan going on for long periods of time and this way he send out the people would come to send them back out to tell them to make their villages, their communities, families Kṛṣṇa conscious. So this way it was described it was set up in Naama hatta or type of super markets of the holy name where everyone regardless of their caste, their creed, their color, their sex, their age, their qualification or lack of qualification everyone would go there to get from him this spiritual inspiration and go back and give it to others. So and he had his son Mir Chandra Prabhu he was empowered to spread this message also, so he was going and he opposed any kind of force their method was simply by chanting and by attracting that the people will be attracted simply by the force of love so by force there were mohammadian rulers that came and forcefully made 500 Hindus accept the mohammadian religion, force conversion, well Mir Chandra when he heard about that he went there and started to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and by the force of his love those 500 plus another 500 persons who had been previously converted by force they all came back they all surrendered to Kṛṣṇa and began to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and accepted initiation in the vaishnava tradition. So his effect was so powerful that the muhamadian rulers they eventually actually passed a verdict that no one should obstruct Mir Chandra or Nityananda Prabhu so powerful was their effect and they stopped their force conversion so about 150 years ago one of our his final picture of this royal picture is here going from this side to that side he is sitting there with opened top every ones opened top anyway the far right picture is Bhakti Vinod Thakur, so he re-established that Naama Hatta or that preaching of Lord Nityananda in the same place Godruma, but he added a little bit of structure to it all, he set up that when there was a group of people who were interested in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness he made one of them as a kind of custodian for the others, call him elder brother dada. As the elder brother it was his duty to organize at least regular chanting sessions for everyone would gather together to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and Caitanya Maha Prabhus name, in this way he called them as Nama Hatta groups for prapan ashramas. A prapan ashrama is a kind of a centre for spiritual shelter a centre of spiritual dedication so of surrender, in this way he had established recorded we found a recorded list of at least 500 of such centers and there’s probably 1000 and 1000 of them. In this way without any formal structure and the structure was very informal, that simply local groups were established of devotees, that would chant and then when it became so many, to make sure that everything was going all right, that their questions were being answered, then he would for every number of groups he would have a circle, a circle he called them a Senapati, which is like a gross translation would be commander, but the literal translation Sena means soldiers and Pati means either master or father or protector. So he said that Senapati means the protector of the soldiers or the soldier of who are all the devotees, the one who should protect them from influence of different types of illusion. So this way he had over certain group, he would have a circle protector then a district protector then a state protector in this way the movement was expanding into various areas of the society. He predicted that in the future this form of Naama Hatta propagation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness would be considered the most essential and dynamic or important aspect of propagation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness that the temples are actually like wholesale market that stock propogation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that the temples are actually like whole-sale markets, just like stock home is whole-sale center, people come here they buy the things and they sell those things in other smaller cities and villages. They have little groceries shops, they come here buy these things in whole-sale and they sell in retail. So these temples and Holy Dhams, these are like whole-sale or special centers where you can get the quantity of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then you take in retail outlet are these Naama Hatta groups where people are chanting in their homes, gathering together, chanting “Hare Kṛṣṇa” and practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, contributing some of the energy to Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. There are guided by full time preachers, full time Bhakthi Yogis who are trained in training others how to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So, this was the way the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Movement was up into the last century, expanded in every town, every village, everywhere in entire eastern India and other parts of India as well. As we come into 20th century, then the need for bigger temples and centers for publishing books in a mass scale. These became more and more focused up on by Bhakthi Siddantha Saraswathi Thakur and finally by Bhakthi Vedantha Swami Prabhupada. Bhakthi Vedantha Swami Prabhupada took this message of whole Caitanya to the western world in 1965 and until 1977 he was continuingly travelling around the world, establishing Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. So when he completed opening more than approximately 200 temples, almost 100 literatures and various firm projects, schools and big spiritual centers in Vrindavana, India and Mayapur, India and many other accomplishments. Then he said that I have done half the work and the other half is to have this spread among the massive people in society to establish daiva Varnashramam, to have the message, now be disseminate to everyone. So that time in India, he also told me the one of the processes to bring people to our temple, to our centres of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness to let them see how we chant, how we worship Kṛṣṇa, how we offer prasadam to Kṛṣṇa and let them go and practice in their home, let them train their family and their friends and this way let Kṛṣṇa Consciousness naturally be disseminated to our society. So now we are going through different phases of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and this is one of the phases, which is ahead, which is already being implemented in different degrees and I’m very glad to hear that many friends of Kṛṣṇa were present here today who are already beginning to chant. There is no preliminary step what needs to do before chanting. Immediately one can start to chant without any preparation. By chanting that, alone helps us to understand the philosophy much better. That allows us to get ahead in whole process of devotional service of Bhakthi Yoga, far faster than any other means. Of course this one is very intellectual, once to analyze everything before doing anything. Then of course we have so many book to first analyze the process and see why, how it works everything and it can be practiced. Lord Caitanya, he visited at secular time where India was divided by various types of philosophies, so divided in many ways. But that time it was, the philosophers were also very strong. That time there was not only the mohammedian religion, which has invaded from Turkey and other countries, But there was also Buddhism, jainism, there was mayavadism of shankaracharya and various types of materialistic.

There was Mayavadism of Shankaracharya and various types of materialistic so called religions. So all of these different elements were basically against Caintanya Mahaprabhu’s program. At that time there was a rigid caste system in India, that if you were of a particular caste then you have to act in that way. No one who was not a brahmin could say the name of Kṛṣṇa or this mantra, these mantras are only meant for the Priests. There were secret mantras that were never to be spoken out loud before. But Caintanya Mahaprabhu, He broadcasted them publicly and had every one chant them. Not only Brahmanas, not only other members of the caste systems, even so called out castes chandalas, yavanas everyone, He would bring together and have them all chant. So it was some of the caste Priests they went to the chand khaji and they complain that this Caintanya Mahaprabhu He is going to the ruin the Hindu dharma, He is going to ruin the Vedic culture because He is having every one chant these mantras. The mantras potency is going to be destroyed. So, of course Lord Caitanya faced all these problems and hundreds of thousands of people followed Him and He went to the government for the first civil disobedience for the right cause and He convinced the government that their ban on His chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, on His allowing everyone to come together on a common platform was actually improper, was against all religious principles and people who are complaining against Him were actually big-gets. So Lord Caitanya got in, He declared that no one would interfere with His Sankirtan movement. So His moment was going on and at same time the society around was still very much seeker in this type of very rigid caste consciousness.

For instance there was, at that time the ruler of Bengal was the Badshah Hussain Shah, he was a Navab or the mohamuddian ruler he was in charge of the entire eastern northern India. Going down to Orrisa and going east to the, to Burma practically and going west up to the border of the, of the Delhi Navab. So he was one whole quarter of India was under his domain. So he had minister in his government who was another mohamuddian, he was, he was a follower of Vedas, his name was Buddimantha khan, and Buddimantha khan was bit older then the emperor and when emperor was a boy he was actually training the emperor in military art and various things. At that time the emperor was doing something wrong, he wasn’t emperor, then he was just a prince or something and He was misbehaving. So the Buddimantha khan when he was his teacher, he got angry and he hit on the back with the whip and it caused the mark, a scar on his back. Later, so various intrigue somehow that royal family member become the emperor and his wife asked the husband that, the empress, how is that on your back you have this scar? He is, he just said her that he slipped, he said I was whipped. You the emperor! You are whipped! Who could dare do such a thing to you! He said, no, no was a just, when I was a child I did something wrong, somebody whipped me, it doesn’t matter. No, no I want, I am your queen! I want to know who did this to you. They must be punished, they must be, and they must be killed for this offence. See the emperor, he loved Buddimantha khan he was like his teacher, like his uncle, so he would never tell the queen who did it. But she kept pushing and pushing and pushing, I want to know who did this. So finally he said well it was Buddimantha khan. But he is too dear to me I can’t allow any punishment to be given him. But the queen was insisting no! You must punish him! Or at least possibly make him a mohammadian. In those days the system was to convert a Hindu to mohammadian, the Muslim would take the part of water and spit it. Then forcibly put that down the person’s throat. By drinking the water he spitted in and then they say, now you become a mohammadian, was that simple! So Buddimantha khan was brought by drinking the water that you spit in, then they said now you become a Mohammedan. It was that simple. So Buddimantha khan covers in the palace and he didn’t know anything. He was a minister. All of a sudden, the emperor said “this is the thing. My wife kept asking me this car. So she demanded. I am helpless, I have to satisfy my wife.” So sometimes husbands they come under the sway of their wives, even if you are emperor. He said “ I am sorry. I have to take away your jaat, your Hinduism, your caste and I am gonna make you a Mohammedan.” So then he said “no”. So then they grabbed him and spit in the water and threw it down his throat and released him. So then he wanted to restate in society. Society would know. You can no longer come, you no longer a hindu anymore. You have been spit on.

So then he went to some brahmins, some priests and requested “is there some way I can get purified”. They said “yes. You take clarified butter, you boil it and while it is steaming you drink it”. He said “I do it all time?”. They said “yes. In your next birth you take birth as a hindu and then you will be all pure.” He said “that wasn’t the cure I was looking for.” He went and everyone was giving him such things. “You just go under the Ganges, you take a deep dive. Let all the air out of your lungs and then take a deep breath with Ganges water”. So all these kind of very positive solutions. So he seem hopeless. So that was the situation then that simply by the very caste conscious brahmanas and very rigid opinions, so someone has spit on you and suddenly you become outcaste. That is why in India today there is 25% Mohammedan. Otherwise there wasn’t, only a small fraction came from Turkey. But it was by all this type of conversion. Once they are converted they wanted to come back. They weren’t allowed to come back. So Buddimantha khan somehow or the other he went to Caitanya Mahaprabhu and he asked Caitanya Mahaprabhu “this thing has happened to me. Is there some way I can get purified, is there some way I can be allowed to be freed from this curse.” He said “I can cure you. I can save you from this. You simply chant this Mantra. Hare Kṛṣṇa hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare.

You can immediately, if you serve Kṛṣṇa, you are transcendental to Hinduism, Mohammedism all isms. You can be on transcendental platform.” That’s all to do. That’s all that is. So then Buddimantha khan started to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and he became one of the prominent associates of Caitanya Mahaprabhu who started to preach widely Kṛṣṇa consciousness enthusing others. So he approached one time Mohammedan mejesty and he was telling them “give up your caste consciousness. Give up all this sectarianism. You don’t you just chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.” He said “just leave it.” He said “ no just try it.” “ I will chant Hare Kṛṣṇa tomorrow.” He said “ Haribol! Haribol! He started jumping. You just chanted Hare Kṛṣṇa now. You already said Hare Kṛṣṇa. Now don’t stop, keep on chanting. Out of three words you just chanted two. Now just chant Hare Rama and keep on chanting.” So in this way buddimantha khan was very enthusiastic. Actually Buddimantha khan he didn’t realise what he was in his previous birth. Buddimantha khan actually in his previous birth was also a king. In the Vedas it was predicted there was history that in Nawadwip in that place thousands of years before there was a king called Suvarna vihar king. He was very successful king. All of his praja his citizens were very happy. They respected him. They loved him. He provided them all type of material facilities. He himself had every form of material opulence, good wife, good wife, good children, good everything that a king could have, that a human being could have. He had everything at that time and he was working hard to get some more income, to get little more facility and he was doing religious activity.

He had everything at that time and he was working hard to get some more income and to have little more facility and he was doing religious activity to have more pious, Akarma. In this way he was situated. One day, Narada Muni came to see that king. Narada Muni is one of our Spiritual masters. When he saw Narada Muni immediately rose from his throne, offered Narada Muni a seat gave him some respect, washed his feet, offered him an arti, and all the respect that one offers to a Vaishnava. When he comes then gave him food then sweet words and in this way he requested Narada Muni “Please give me some Spiritual instruction so then Narada Muni started to instruct him, that what is your goal in life? He said, “My goal is to be happy to make others happy with material facilities like this etc, then Narada Muni started to explain to him that you are working so hard when you leave your body then all this is going to remain here, what about your future?. Actually, you are missing the real point of life you born as a human being coming to the human where we develop, we stay sometime the body dies, the soul lives on goes on, takes a new birth. So in this way now you got a very great fortune (GM says very enthusiastically) you have been born, you are the King of Navadvip, this is the land where Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu will appear in the Kali-Yuga. This is the scared place where we worship Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu you can develop your full spiritual awareness very simply, simply by chanting his names. When he explained this basic process of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. So the King he become very enliven and started to chant Lord Caitanya’s name. Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, Gauranga, Gauranga, Gauranga. When he was chanting again and again to finally Lord Caitanya appeared to him, the same form appeared to the King of Subanu Bihar, the king became Ecstatically jumping up and down and he was falling down, paying his respects. He was overwhelmed to see Lord Caitanya, then the Lord Caitanya disappeared and then he was crying, trying again to see the Lord. The Lord said that I just gave you a little darshan, a little audience, to bless you. You continue to chant, you continue to practice, but I wanted to be your devotee. I wanted to be with you. He said, Yes, when I come from my avatar, my incarnation to spread the Kṛṣṇa Conscious movement in this world. You will come as my associate; your name will be Buddimantha khan (Pause). So actually the Buddimantha khan was descend to come and just join Caitanya Mahaprabhu, to show how Lord Caitanya he transcended all types of divisions, now still our world, although we are in 20th century. There are so many divisions. Which are competing and fighting against each other? Lord Caitanya wanted to show that there is a common platform where we can all lead upon, everyone can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, we can transcended all the divisions of we just chant this transcendental vibrations together.

In this way in Mayapur, the place Lord Caitanya appeared, that is the sacred place, what is the meaning of the sacred place and what makes the place sacred or not sacred. This is the question that someone might ask. That just like here in Stockholm in a particular house in a particular where now we gonna chant Hare Kṛṣṇa here. Now we may consider that place where people gather together and chant sacred mantras, that becomes purified. The veda say that by continually contact with the transcendental energy that purifies something. Just like if you have a piece of steel and if you rub a magnet against it again and again say if I have a nail, or a piece of steel. You rub a magnet again and again eventually that piece of steel becomes magnetized. It becomes also a magnet. So in the same way, by contact with the spiritual energy, one becomes spiritualized or transcendentalist. So even we can consider that this room is a transcendental place, because it’s used for transcendental chanting, for transcendental activities. So it becomes purified. But where is a Mayapur the place where lord Caitanya appears that’s a different type of a situation because from the spiritual world when the lord comes down and contacts the material world that place is called the yogapeeth means a place of contact or connecting for the Supreme Lord connects with a material world so their area just like the government has their air forces and launching pads for the rocket just like fence talk sub mariner which is under the central government control. When the Lord comes down into a particular place there is no offenses or anything that you can see it but there is a particular area which is under the direct spiritual shelter or energy from the spiritual world. those who are able to see on that level they can recognize it just like that king he don’t know he was staying a place which was under this type of spiritual effect but now a devotee know because he was a great spiritual master various great spiritual teachers they know they visit these places and they get that energy and then they continue revived to distributed this energy to others. this are like special circles of a spiritual energy so Mayapur our founder Śrīla Prabhupada he has made a world head quarters of the hare Kṛṣṇa movement their in Mayapur spritual head quarters its not a ministrative head quarters as such but it’s like a spiritual head quarters we all gather together and held big festivals and chant together and held some meetings how to cooperate better to fulfill the desires of lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu so also from our local GBC

from Sweden Harikesa swami is also this year made the call GBC of Mayapur with this humble self working cooperatively to try to develop their develop means develop our center there so that devotees from all over the world can visit Mayapur and take shelter there for some period in their life whether in the beginning, middle or the end or various occasions in their life.

So this Mayapur dham actually Lord Nityananda who I introduce to you earlier he had predicted to Jiva Goswami that in Mayapur there would be a big flood into this whole city that was here at that time there was a big city that this city would be shifted to some other place and when the flood waters go down the Ganges subsidies this will be just open fields but gradually a spiritual city was start to come up but all the people that would live there will be all devoted people all Kṛṣṇa conscious persons and he said their would be a great temple ek adhbhoot mandir hoibe prakash. There will be a great temple which will be built this temple gauranga nitya seva hoibe vikas and by this temple he predicted the eternal service of lord Caitanya would be expanded througout all over the world so in 1977 bhaktivedanta swami Prabhupada laid the foundation stone just before about six months before he left the world and he said here you built this big temple so now he have the obligation to try to fulfill that prediction to build this temple the temple the scheme that Prabhupada gave us would be a Vedic planetarium which would show the cosmos from the Vedic point of view with hundreds and thousands exhibits, multimedia various type of exhibits as well as big meeting hall and temple about hundred and fifty meters high by hundred fifty about hundred and fifty meters high, one hundred and fifty, but one hundred fifty meters of the base also and there Prabhupada also mentioned that we could show the material world of various planetary systems. In the material world, Devi Dham above the material world what exists that there is the Shiva dham or Maheswara Dham which is at the border of the material and the spiritual world. Then beyond that there is the Vaikunta Dham that was the spiritual world which never changes which doesn’t go through the creation and destruction. And that beyond this Vaikunta Dham was there is no anxiety and no suffering that there is Goloka Dham where the place Kṛṣṇa resides which is the place where Kṛṣṇa is constantly having his loving pastimes. So, this could all be demonstrated within this temple and different levels, I should go up in the temple, it will come up high and higher to finally you get to the top Golokadham for Kṛṣṇaloka. So, this is actually, we have the project would like to complete after 500 years, we can complete Lord Nityanada’s prediction.

All of us together as a team will be have a great, great opportunity first to get some special mercy. In Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, we tried to do some service and we all the devotees are called Dasa. Dasa means servant. So, Prabhupada one time was saying that in material world, to be a servant is considered to be a very kind of lovely thing and I mean that’s envy with the despise to some others servant and everyone wants to be the master, but in spiritual life, its very proud to be considered servants of the supreme master. Because, that it is the real type of liberation. As long as we are trying to be controllers and masters and try to exploit others, we actually become more and more entangled than the complexities to the material life. The one we tried to serve others and serve the Supreme, we actually become liberated and in material nature no longer it can entangle us. So, some service is we have got special credit another was if you do a service by that service, you can benefit millions of people like publishing books, it is a very big service. Because, by book publishing so many people can get spiritual knowledge or I could hear someone speaking over the radio, many people come hear so that thus bigger type of chanting than say some one 200 people listening, someone speaking on the radio 1000’s of people, millions of people can hear. So similarly, their some service is one does, then many people were benefited by and therefore, the credit for them is many times more. The more the person serves to uplift others the more obstacles are removed from their own path and are able to advance very quickly to achieve the perfection. So those in this temple Lord Nityananda predicted with ah……… inspired and expand the consciousness of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhus message all over the world. This is a very special opportunity to get the mercy or the to able to serve millions and millions of people all over the world and this way able to make almost instant advancement in the future by the lords mercy. So, in this way we try to take the opportunities. This like those who be the are chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa, few to somehow encourages to offend to sometime come and take prasadam/feast to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you get benefit for that. That benefit are helping someone else than goes to you. You get the commission automatically. So, the naama hatta programme is basically that you see normally the devotees were full time devotees, putting in the temple wearing this type of saffron cloth, they think they have a monopoly that only one second actually get the mercy of giving other people Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. That Lord Nityananda he was dealing and also even others who may be not able to fully dedicate all the time but they also interested in understanding and advancing Kṛṣṇa Consciousness they can also get the benefit of giving others Kṛṣṇa Consciousness to their ability, whatever ability they have, they can encourage others to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and by doing so they also get of giving others Kṛṣṇa consciousness to their limited ability whatever ability they have they can encourage others to chant ‘Hare Kṛṣṇa’. and by doing so they also get the same benefit. as someone wearing this saffron colored orange colored cloth see the cloth is just the uniform the real thing is how many people you can encourage to chant ‘Hare Kṛṣṇa’ and help them to advance towards the ending the cycle of birth and death, advance towards taking the shelter and to developing whether there full Kṛṣṇa consciousness the transcendental consciousness
