20250331 Address to Devotees on Guruship Oath Ceremony

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: Two oaths, one is general oath of allegiance and opt for an ISKCON Guru. So, we will have someone who will read the oath and the candidates will repeat it word by word.

So, we are taking this oath to allow, to accept disciples. Eventually, we would like to see all the disciples as gurus! So, you have all heard these vows, it is nothing very difficult! So, now we extend our blessings to these two (His Grace Caitanya dāsa Adhikarī and His Grace Revatī Ramaṇa dāsa Adhikarī).

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

All glories to the assembled devotees.
