20250911 Adhivāsa Address to Malaysia Hare Kṛṣṇa Convention

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: We are happy to be in the assembly of devotees under the shelter of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda! It is nice to see so many devotees, prabhujīs and mātājīs! The day before our convention festival, they do the adhivāsa ceremony, so that we feel gravely how important this association of devotees is! In Bengali they sing the adhivāsa-kīrtana. And the two lines are ānandera sīmā nāi – there is no limit to the bliss! And nirānanda dūre jāi – that means unhappiness goes far, far away! So, in Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura’s song, he sings that we need all this association of Vaiṣṇavas. So this is not a light thing, this is essential for our advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness! So, I am very happy to be here – it was quite a yajña to be here!! But I won’t speak more about that now! I hope you all have a very Kṛṣṇa conscious convention festival! We are very grateful to all the Mahārājas and senior devotees who are here – to name a few, we have His Holiness Bhānu Swami Mahārāja, His Holiness Bhakti Vigna-vināśa Nṛsiṁha Mahārāja, His Holiness Bhakti Mukunda Mahārāja, His Holiness Bhakti Pracāra Parivrājaka Swami Mahārāja. I will now retire now because tomorrow morning I will start my day with a class!

Hare Kṛṣṇa!
