They are Vaikunta Children
→ ISKCON Malaysia

BY JAI SITA RANI DEVI DASI

KUALA LUMPUR - With success of our youth in activities like fund-raising, kirtan mela and ratha yatras, we see a new generation taking over very nicely. Much enthusiasm and cooperation were seen among themselves. They have put in so much effort, time and thought to the entire process of organizing these Krishna Conscious activities. Kudos to all the youth for bringing Mayapur to Kuala Lumpur in the recent organisation of Kirtan Mela Malaysia 2014. You have given us hope that Krishna Consciousness will prevail in Malaysia and may you take it to greater heights as you continue to enthuse and motivate more and more people to take up Krishna Consciousness seriously.

These children are given to us by Krishna, they are Vaisnavas and we must be very careful to protect them. These are not ordinary children, they are Vaikuntha children, and we are very fortunate we can give them chance to advance further in Krishna Consciousness. That is very great responsibility, do not neglect it or be confused. Your duty is very clear. - Srila Prabhupada
