20240825 Śrī Kṛṣṇa Janmāṣṭamī Adhivāsa Address

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram
Harihi oṁ tat sat

Jayapatākā Swami: Today we are observing the adhivāsa festival. There are 26 different ingredients which are offered to the Lord. Because tomorrow is the Janmāṣṭamī festival of Kṛṣṇa, therefore today the adhivāsa ceremony is being observed. We are doing adhivāsa because tomorrow is the most important day. So, in this adhivāsa we will pray that tomorrow we will all be able to observe Janmāṣṭamī festival very nicely! Rādhā Mādhava have kindly come here at the front. So all the devotees should pray to the Deities that tomorrow we are able to celebrate and observe the Kṛṣṇa Janmāṣṭamī festival very nicely! We offer many auspicious articles today. So, the Lord has kindly come to preside over and accept the adhivāsa ceremony from all of you. This is a great opportunity that the Lord has come to hear from you! If you want at the end to give your report to the Deity then you can also do that! I will end my talk here. Hare Kṛṣṇa!
