Parikrama Plan
"We are very happy that our Sri Nabadwip Dham parikrama is going to
start soon. However, there is one thing that you all must remember. From next
year, our parikrama will be five days, independent from where we do
it—from the main Math or from here."

Parikrama:
More Than Pilgrimage (1)

am. Hearing and seeing this, I get enthusiasm to do this parikrama.
There is one thing, however, that I have never told any year, but I want to
say it today."

Parikrama:
More Than Pilgrimage (2)
"We come, dance and say 'Hari bol! Hari bol!' but we have not been able to
capture anything within our hearts. We have only seen some beautiful
buildings, temples, etc. You go to Mayapur, you goggle at great buildings,
many things, etc. but this is not the point! You must understand what is the
result of this parikrama."

The Calamity
Within
"You will face so much austerity in your spiritual life, but please do not
leave Krishna consciousness. You want to get the Supreme Personality but how
much patience do you have? How much quality do you have? How much of your ego
can you leave?"

Our Plan and
Programme
"Only chanting four rounds, offering some bhog and taking
prasad is not sufficient for your spiritual life. You cannot reach
your destination in this way. Sitting in one place, offering the bhog,
eating and spending so much time watching facebook—this is not what our life
is for. We did not come to Gurudev for that."

Parikrama:
More Than Pilgrimage (3)
"You must not imitate the behaviour of the Guru and Vaishnavs. There are such
people in our country. Such aul, baul, kartabhaja, neda, etc. people
chant kirtan showing ecstasy, they do so many things, but true saints
do not behave in this way."

"Many also cannot come, but we do not know when we have to leave this world.
However, you all have come here despite all the difficulties, you are
fortunate. This is your own house, and I am your own."

Parikrama:
More Than Pilgrimage (5)
"I also pray to you all—I pray that your feet dust will always remain on my
head. You must not come to grasp my feet; rather, if I can take the feet dust
of all those who come to do this parikrama, then I will consider myself
fortunate."

World Pandemic: Use Your Time Wisely
"All over the world, all devotees at this moment always think and are always
afraid of COVID-19, coronavirus. We cannot do anything about it—when the time
comes, we will have to leave our body. However, as many days as we may have,
we must not waste our time! Now that all the devotees are always in their
house, it is a good time—they can read many books such as Srimad
Bhagavatam, Chaitanya-charitamrita and all our good books. They
can concentrate their mind on Krishna consciousness and chant more rounds of
the Holy Name. They can do more service in their houses."

World
Pandemic: The Only Relief
"In this situation that is happening in this world, only the chanting of the
Holy Name, only service to the Lord can give relief to us. We must think
about this, we must tell others to please avoid eating fish, meat, avoid this
kind of sinful works."
