Kirtan in London report

http://vimeo.com/59904754

On Saturday night we celebrated the auspicious Appearance Day of Sri Adwaita Acharya Prabhu, with another blissful Saturday Night Harinam. About 60 devotees took part. The Kirtan party left Govinda's and headed straight to Piccadilly Circus, where Parasaram prabhu's 'Food for All' project had been feeding a gathering of hundreds of young people that had been demonstrating throughout the day. When they saw him returning with a 60 strong Harinam Party, the young lady with the microphone welcomed the devotees and began to encourage the gathering to chant Hare Krsna with us. For the next 20 minutes or so, there continued an ecstatic Kirtan with hundreds and hundreds of people joining in with the devotees - chanting and dancing enthusiastically. It was beautiful and a astonishing. I think that almost every person there accepted a copy of the 'On Chanting Hare Krsna' booklet. Certainly by the end of the evening we had distributed almost 2,000 copies.

The Kirtan was powerful, and because of this, it was very easy to hand out the booklets. Everybody wanted to find out more about your movement

a little later, two really nice middle aged ladies followed the Party for almost an hour. When they finally decided to carry on their way, they came up to me, and full of sincerity, thanked us for making them smile so much. They both held in their hands copies of the 'OCHK' booklet along with invites to the Soho Street Temple.

Next Saturday is Lord Nityananda's Appearance Day and we are expecting over 100 devotees to take part in the evening Harinam. There are also kirtans planned for Oxford Street during the day time. - Bhajahari dasa
