So I already gave a lecture before, and how all the disciples of all the sanyasi gurus especially should be preaching, and  how in general we are goshthiyanandi sampradya.  That means that we want to see the number of devotees increase.

In Hyderabad, it is one of the metropolis  in India, and Rangareddy districts is one of the districts in Hyederabad. So I heard that you have four districts in Hyderabad. So we want to see if not all, that a large of people become Krishna Consciousness.

This city has got people of various religious, but of the Hindus there are many Vaisnavas. Balaji and Narasimhadev are permanent deities in Andhra and Telengana. So we hope that everyone will take up seriously this process of chanting Hare Krishna which is the Yuga dharma.

So there are many offerings that are offered to the Lord, and one of the offering is the atma-nivedana, offering oneself. So whether you are a grihastha, whether you are a vairagi, the process of offering yourself to Krishna, the process of offering your thoughts, activities, those are part of the Bhakti Yoga. So we hope that you will be very successful in the process of bhakti yoga.

So have you all taken your vows? Do you promise to follow it for your whole life?

Yes (by audience)

Did you also vow to help me to fulfill Prabhupada’s mission.

Yes (by audience)

And to chant 16 rounds?

 Yes (by audience)

And to avoid breaking the four principles?

Yes (by audience)

So with this few words we will start to call up the people. You shoul chant everyday, but in case you are short on some days, you can make it up later, but should not get into that habit. And for ladies who are having a baby, child birth, we are giving them two weeks so that they can get adjusted. Those who are taking second initiation, you cannot carry over those mantras.

Are there people to take shelter?
