So today will be mainly darshans. We will see each family. If they want they can take a photo. If they want they can ask one quick question. I will give them blessings and Prasad. Then the next family. If someone can introduce each family that would be nice, but I will just tell a few things.

Here in Hyederabad… of course I have been here many times over the many decades, and trying to remember the things when Prabhupada was present, and sometimes he would look from his room down at the crowd and see what’s going on. When we had the chief minister here, he was the host, and he came to the temple room.

For the telugu speakers they can have a translator there.

And he showed the deities to the chief minister. He explained Gaura-Nitai, Radha-Madan Mohan and Jagannath-Baladev Subhadra and although I am  not 100% percent sure, I think he offered an arati to the deities, and when he was seated upstairs, he was on the asana behind his desk and he was in the darshan room and the bedroom. I don’t know what they have now, but at that time we had two rooms, first the bathroom, and then he would speak to all the visiters.

I remember that he took a group of devotees from Mayapur to Vrindavan via Hyederabad, and here he had the devotees visiting the places. He was the inspiration for the safari. In the safari we have 40 nations. He was showing that he had dancing white elephants. He got devotees from all over the world, and he wanted to see that all the devotees were nicely kept. He liked to travel by train. When he was is India, he would travel by train, and he took  all the devotees with him, and they were very happy as they could have more association with Srila Prabhupada. We got to see Prabhupada in the active preaching.

They went to the …. Farm. Then he said that here we will make some Krishna conscious villages.  In described that in Mayapur we will make a Krishna Conscious city, and in Machel we are making Krishna Conscious villages, in Haridashpur we are making the existing village Krishna Conscious. To that was His agenda.

So here in Hyedarabad, he personally made the temple and had the deities installed under his guidance.

In his guru dakshina he kept something for Mayapur, Vrindavan, Bombay and Hyederabad.

So … Ok  one person can lead, each family can come one by one forward,
