Now, gradually change. Everybody's changed. He wants to keep quite. Not to speak. So, nama sankirtan nowadays is closed everywhere.

krsnotkirtana-gana-nartana-parau purna mritam bhuvan

Previously all the vaisnavas wherever they, they used to sing the glories of the Lord. That's all. That is all what they wanted. Now also, we must sing the glories of the Lord and the vaisnavas. And we should know their glory. What is their glory. We must know it. Gradually we also can follow it. Now, after haribol, not for permanently to stop sankirtan, for the present we have to close, close that sankirtan. But there is no closing of the sankirtan. Sankirtan is always there. Whenever you want you do kirtan. Whenever you want. And that will make you happy. All the desires, worldly desires, you must quit all the desires. No worldly desires there should be. Only there should be one desire; always having link with the Lord, Supreme Lord. Always. Early morning sankirtan, evening sankirtan, night sankirtan. Whenever. No work. No work wanted, just kirtan. But nowadays to attract so many we have to prepare some sweets, but it requires money and you have to collect it from others. You will be busily engaged in that? No. Don't. One thing is whatever you collect for the Lord you must give it, everything to the pious, must give it to the service. That you should do. Nowadays everybody wants money. Without money nothing can be done. But, without money bhajan can be done. If they .... that after meeting some prasad must be distributed and gradually they may give it up. But at present prasad is wanted. Usually in these countries, Europe and American countries prasad, beautiful prasad. One type of prasad little, little. And see tila prasad, .., and ladu prasad and mundi prasad, these are there. They have to prepare and get prepared(?) little not more. In a hand. If not the glass is required, the plate is required, not that, no one. It is a heavy expediture, healthy expenditure. Little. That Swami Maharaj used to do. He used to keep this room clean and he prepares. After preparation he would sit at the bhajan, and do beginning bhajan, and then after bhajan he will speak half an hour. Then after that they will get prasad. You see at such hard labor he has brought this sankirtan Europe and American countries and throughout the world. All level(?). Always kirtan, always. You have to speak. Now, we also must sacrifice. Those who sacrifice they can attract. Without sacrifice none can attract none. If you sacrifice yourself then you can attract the public. They will follow it. They will learn it and they will follow it. Gradually God will bless them. Through the blessings of the Lord they will do wonders. Nama sankirtan always. Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna. What is the time now? 11. Haribol, haribol. Now, Gopikantha prabhu should speak....and explain. But prasad. Meaning of prasad? Meaning of prasad is blessing. Prasad, Bhagavat prasad means not sweets, eating, but only blessing. Prasad means anukripa; blessing. Main meaning is prasadam, prasad anukripa, as little sweet or something. So it is called prasad. We call it prasad, khira prasad, or laddu prasad, mundi prasad, lucci prasad, puri prasad, laddu prasad, anything, you can call it prasad. But it should be offered it to the Lord. Without offering... You should keep tulasi, yes. And everything you offer to the Lord you must put tulasi leaf on it. And you have to collect tulasi trees, many. Others, you can get trees. If not one day they will eat away leaves of one tulasi tree. Daily. You have to collect. Everybody should see that tulasi ... Not only one. One will be regularly, but you must have three or four plants. Their responsibility there is to guard them. It requires not cold, it requires hot. It will be hot, it requires. In Vrindavan also in the cold climate they disappear. But they must be kept in here in the sun, keep the cloth, some cloth. So seedlings also, tomatoes seedlings and this seedling, seedling they keep it curtained there. So, tulasi wants warm, not cold. In cold it becomes small. Leaves are very short. Whereas in Puri you see, Puri temple, very big. In cold countries the trees have only short leaves and there very big leaves. Thick, thick, there is a thick, so much. ........Like plantain tree. Plantains, you cannot have plantains because it is very cold. In cold they won't survive. In hot they survive. So India is the place where abnormally hot is there. Cold is also there. But hot is there. And if you can protect it from cold then tulasi will survive. See that Tulasi survives.

And more cooperation between yourselves, cooperation is wanted. It is one family. Family. It is a family, our vaisnava family. All. Each other should not hate and each other should not want to do harm and they always try to help each other. Help each other. Whatever you prepare you distribute equal to all and offer to the Lord. First is offering. Whatever you eat, for breakfast, or the meal or evening you have to offer. Put a tulasi, without tulasi ...................(verse)(11:44)................ Just one tulasi leaf, little, little, you have to put. And see that tulasi, wherever you go a vaisnava, Mahaprabhu, wherever he goes one man should carry it through the path. That tulasi will be very big and it's placed. Mahaprabhu sits under it and talks and do bhajan. Tulasi is there. If you worship tulasi then you can develop bhajan. Tulasi devi.

Mother, I pick up one leaf only to offer to the Lord, not for my enjoyment. And you must follow this vegetarian system strictly and teach others. Here most of the people are nonvegetarians. Yesterday that was written that humanity, humanity and written on it, T-shirt, there it is written. They will take him .. where he ...... And in Africa there are people who gave to an old man a bowl and keep wooden(?) on it and take him far away and there they place it there and ask him to sit here. Nobody to hear, there, nobody. The same family member. He was the leader, he was a father. Now, nobody to look after.

You see in Spain there is a big, like, that was not advertisement, it is a playground, playground, a building is there. Bull and the man they will fight. Naturally a man cannot fight the bull. But these fellows they get that bull and advertise. People are anxious to see it and after seeing this, a rod, iron rod, so tall, four feet, five feet, they will bring it and put that touching it. It will extend and kill.... and dies. And that mutton, what is a word they call? Beef, beef, beef. They who have given money, and to them little, little they give. This is how no human beings are doing it.

Previously, our cows are not given mutton, but now the piece, small piece they bring and dry it and powder it and mix with this volumes of, what they call? Like .......and take it and give to cows. You see, sometimes back in England, because they give that there was a disease, they have to kill several hundred, several hundred. Ninteen hundred, 2 thousand cows shot. Because whatever vegetarian you give, cow will eat, nonvegetarian... But now they are habituated to take that piece, powdered piece they mix with other meat and also make it powder and give them meat. And those are unnatural things that create disease. That disease creeps and destroys. People are very fond of beef. They don't know anything. There are only human. No human body they will eat. Hare Krishna. Now to all of them the only way to convince is to do harinam. Be a vegetarian and do harinam. If you tell them to sing always harinam and do the service of the Lord. Every ekadasi they should perform an ekadasi feast. Like Nrisimha caturdasi. Now in Vaisakha - Nrisimha caturdasi. Then another, they only have feast in evening sunset, at sunset. Vamana Jayanti and Rama jayanti, rama bhavana madhanam, in twelve o'clock, midday they appeared. So up to that midday they should fast and after that they can take food or some... like that. They must be taught. People must be taught all these things and our Swami Maharaja, he labored hard, very hard he labored to make these boys permanently. But almost all of them have gone away. Because nobody to guide them. No guidance they required. They are independent.

Hare Krishna. You all unitedly cultivate this devotional religion, devotion. Everything belongs to the Lord and we can do the Lord's service and after offering the Lord we take his remnant, prasad. It is prasad. All these things you have to teach each other. Then will they learn. And you must observe strictly. Thereby you save west. Now the west: money. In Vienna, there is the doctor. He said some, bulls bone, they prepare some extract and injections. And they wanted to give me. I said I don't want. I don't want. And I know that American medicines are mostly the beef and there is bones. But now people don't fear of any sin. "What is sin? Nothing. Survival. Survival is wanted." You must survive. But, in one day if you speak all these things they will break your head. Gradually they must be taught. At times, I feel that Swami Maharaj with great difficulty, no money, the steamer, collected some money from a lady, Murwar lady and he came to America. There he was sitting, he went there and saw, park, a park. Nobody comes to him. He was doing mridanga and karatals, doing bhajan, nobody comes. Nobody wants. First week he was disgusted. No use. Nobody will here me here. Then he thought let me see one more week. Next week also nobody came. And the third week first day one person came and gradually, day by day, he said I will bring my friends. He brought friends. And in a week or two, you see, many joined. Then he said, you have to shave and do tilaka and you have to wear clothes, no pant. So they were young. They were married. They gave it away. And now they joined and took. They took. Very quickly he changed hundreds ... outsiders throughout America and then throughout the world the message gone. And they followed it strictly. But maya .......(verse 26:07) maya is more powerful. Maya, it is only more powerful. Deluding potency of the Lord. External potency is Maya. That maya deludes all. All the people will be deluded. Maya. Hare Krishna. Now have you taken food? They will take? And when is your program? 4. 4 to five or six? 6. Good. They will come. Now yesterday it was a good gathering, good gathering. Today also I hope they will come. Gopikantha prabhu has come, so, so he will do wonders . Haribol.
