Hare Krishna dandvats, Prabhuji. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I do hereby wish you all the best in Krishna consciousness, Gauranga, Radhe Radhe, Hari Bol! Hare Krishna.
There is no time to waste. Sadhana is a matter of urgency, and life can end at any moment. Let's not waste time and instead chant the holy name with deep feeling, care and attention. This will please Guru and Srila Prabhupada. Then, let's share Krishna Consciousness with everyone interested, and avoid the envious completely. Hare Krishna.
Pranam Prabhu. Hare Krishna.
I wish you all success in Krishna Consciousness.
May Lord Krishna always bless and protect you,
and bestow His Mercy upon you and may He
fill your life with peace and love; harmony
and wisdom. Take care, bye.
