20030119 A Short Address in ISKCON Chowpatty

The following is an address given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on January 19, 2003 in ISKCON Chowpatty, Mumbai, India.

Jayapatākā Swami: […] So you can give this magical medicine to people and save them from the repetition of birth and death, from their forgetfulness on their eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, so that they can get the true love of Kṛṣṇa that actually they are in hankering for. Actually, I was just here a few months ago . . . and then Rādhānātha Swami asked me yesterday, I had to come here for the program. He said, already it’s changed. I thought, what could have changed in a few months? But I am amazed that a lot has changed. There’s so much, new things, new developments here. Very beautiful piece of art, like this, you are offering such a nice service for Rādhā Gopīnātha, I know that everyone’s heart also has to be cleansed and purified and made a beautiful offering for their Lordships. So we can clean the heart by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. And in this way, we can invite Kṛṣṇa to come and sit in the lotus of our heart and then we feel totally satisfied. And that’s what everyone’s actually hankering for. You have that medicine to give them. So I hope everyone will get that mercy, that empowerment, and then give it as much as you can to others. Thank you very much.
