It is good that we are together again. For many of us, this is our first meeting of the year, so I am happy to see you. In the last two or three months, many things have happened—in your lives, in your bodies, minds, emotions, intellects, and families. Every minute is very active. Yet, somehow, by the blessing of Mahāprabhujī, we are continuing. We shall not stop; we shall always continue. Some difficulties and problems come along the way to wake us up, so we wake up again and begin to walk. The highlight during these months was the Kumbh Melā. And the sadness was—which was not easy—that hundreds of thousands of people died. Not that they died, but they died in a very difficult way, suffering. That part of India is very spiritual, with very devoted and well-educated people. But why it happened, God knows. We were about 1,500 to 2,000 kilometers away in Prayagraj (Illahābād), where we could feel the earth movement. But we have also damaged our building in Jadan, which is one of the first buildings we built there, where Holy Gurujī is staying. We are going to either repair or rebuild the whole building. On that day, the day of the earthquake, nobody was sleeping in that room, in that building. On the day of the earthquake, no one slept in that building.
