Arrival Lecture — April 13, 1973, Los Angeles 730413AR-LOS ANGELES [15:25 Minutes] Arrival_730413AR-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: [leads singing of Jaya rādhā-mādhava] [prema-dvani prayers] Thank you very much.
Devotees: All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. [break] [06:12]
Prabhupāda: So I am very glad to see you again. And especially to see Śrīman Rādhā-Mādhava, Gaura-Nitāi is being worshiped nicely. Thank you very much. So my traveling was in India, Australia, New Zealand.
I was to go to Africa also, but I could not go. Everywhere our International Society members are worshiping very nicely. In Australia—Sydney, Melbourne—Deity worship is going on very nicely. Similarly in New Zealand, Auckland.
They have also purchased one house, and worship is going on nicely. New York, they are also doing very nicely, and you are also doing very nicely. [chuckles] Perhaps you are still going ahead. [laughs] Yes.
So I am very much thankful to you that Kṛṣṇa, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, came to your country. He wanted to come here, and you have well received. And worship Him, serve Him; He will be happy. Introduce this movement all over your country.
America is favored country. Little misguided about spiritual affairs, but if you introduce this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in right way, keeping yourself to the standard, then people will accept it gradually. Of course, it is not so easy to accept Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One must be very fortunate.
