    I stand before you today to explore the rich tapestry of religious beliefs in our

    present world. In the contemporary landscape, religious beliefs play a crucial


    role in shaping societies and individuals. It's a testament to the diversity of
    human thought and spirituality. One such vibrant tradition is ISKCON, a
    movement that has gained global prominence for its emphasis on devotion to
    Lord Krishna. Founded in 1966, ISKCON has become a beacon of spiritual
    enlightenment, attracting followers from various walks of life. One of those
    personalities that ISKCON magnetized was Steve Jobs, the founder and former
    CEO of Apple. In his early days with Apple, when it wasn’t the multi-billion
    dollar corporate it is right now. Apple was headquartered in Steve’s garage
    whereas Steve lived in the basement that he had rented. Jobs had revealed in
    an interview that he walked 7 miles to the Hare Krishna temple every Sunday
    to enjoy the bhajans and kirtans and have his only proper meal of the week in
    the Sunday Feast of ISKCON. He had also mentioned “I love Hare Krishna food”.
    Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a 15th-century saint and the proponent of the Gaudiya
    Vaishnavism tradition, has significantly influenced the practices of ISKCON. His
    teachings emphasize the chanting of the holy names of God, specifically the
    Hare Krishna mantra. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy is a timeless
    reminder of the universal nature of spirituality and the power of devotion to
    bring people together.
    In recent times, we've witnessed a reawakening of Hindu identity and pride.
    This resurgence is not just limited to the confines of religious rituals but
    extends to a broader cultural and social awakening. People are embracing and
    celebrating their roots, fostering a sense of unity and community. This
    renaissance is a testament to the enduring strength of Hinduism and its ability
    to evolve while staying true to its essence.
    However, this journey of rediscovery faces challenges, with some historical
    temples being demolished over the years. The revival of these sacred spaces is
    not only a restoration of physical structures but also a reclaiming of cultural
    heritage. Communities are coming together to rebuild these temples, breathing
    new life into the spiritual centers that hold profound significance for many.
    Now, let's engage in a brief quiz to test our understanding of these topics:
    1. Who is the founder of ISKCON, and in which year was it established?
    2. Name one key teaching of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
    3. What is the significance of the reawakening of Hindu identity in
    contemporary society?
    4. Why is the revival of demolished temples important for communities?
    Let us cherish the diversity of religious beliefs, appreciate the wisdom of
    spiritual leaders like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and actively contribute to the
    preservation of our cultural and religious heritage. Thank you.
