There's a difference between how you might feel before going on yātrā and after you were on the yātrā. Generally, devotees report that before the yātrā, they may be slightly distracted. Their sadhana might be restrained or slow, but after the yātrā, they feel, "Oh, I want to keep on track."

So just stay on yātrā all the time. And that's the beauty of bhakti; you can do that. You can do it in Seattle. You can do it in Portland. You can do it in Mumbai, where Manasi Ganga is. You can do it in New York City. Can you do it in New York City? A good concept. London. Definitely do it in London. It means we have festivals—more festivals than any other religion in the world. Some people, they go to church once a week and just go and drink a little wine from the cup, and that's all they get. Maybe a little singing in church and stuff like that, but we have singing, dancing, food, everything.

We're deeply grateful that you host us here every year at this, to me, the most beautiful of all ISKCON temples in the world. Because you've got Ganga right here in your backyard. This is a place of explosive pastimes, especially from Lord Nityānanda, who saved Raghunātha Dāsa by giving him his unconditional mercy. So we can pray for that unconditional mercy in this place, Pānīhāṭī, where Lord Nityānanda showed his causeless mercy and held a festival just to attract all the souls of the world.
