KRISHNA LOKA GAME

This game is for ten players. By reciting one Hare Krishna mantra a player is chosen to be leader. Arrange a row of eight mats in a circle. The circle represents Krishna loka which is shaped like a lotus flower. The mats represent petals of the lotus and the players are devotees trying to enter the Krishna loka planet. The leader begins chanting Hare Krishna, and the nine children march around the circle of mats without touching them. Without warning the leader stops the Kirtan , and all the players scramble for a mat. The devotee who does not get one falls down from Krishna loka. He must then chant Hare Krishna to prepare himself to reenter Krishna-loka. He exchanges places with the child who was chanting, and the game continues.
