Hare Krishna!!

Dear Suda Sing, Jessica and Sisza
Please accept our greetings and best wishes.

ISKCON KZN is holding a Maha Harinam today, Saturday, 02 March 2012 at 10:00 am, starting at the Durban City Hall through the streets of Durban.


The ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Harinam Party extends an invitation to your esteemed media to kindly cover this historic event.

Leading the Bhaktivedanta Harinam Party is Sri Natai Gaura Hari on Their magnificent and majestic Palanquin to celebrate Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Appearance Day, the Yuga Avatar, who taught by example the Yuga Dham Harinam Sankirtan, the public chanting of Lord Krishna's Holy Names: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.


 

This is the most important day in the life of the Vaishnavas and all living entities to collectively participate in the chanting, dancing, glorifying the activities of the Lord and His Devotees and taking refreshments, maha prasadam.

This  prestigious and colourful procession is also part of remembering His Divine Grave AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada only visit to Durban, South Africa and addressed a capacity audience at the Durban City Hall on 07 October 1975.

"Remember all Indian Nationalist passports were  stamped and read, all countries, except South Africa", said, His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami.

Against all odds his Spiritual Master His Divine Grave AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada visited and met with leading personalities, like the then late Professor Oliver,Rector of the then University of Durban Westville.

"Why do you not have a Department teaching the difference between a living and dead body," asked Srila Prabhupada to Professor Olivier.

"Professor Olivier was stunned and fully agreed to open a department. Srila Prabhupada was prepared to send Dr T Singh, His Holiness Sawarup Damodar Maharaj to teach, said His Holiness Partha Sarathi Das Goswami Maharaj.

Hence by the vision and spiritual potency of Srila Prabhupada, the Professor opened the Department of Hindu Studies.

His preaching tour took him to Durban and Johannesburg, his only visit to the Republic of South Africa.

His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami fearlessly followed in the footsteps of his Spiritual Master as the then Chairperson of the Governing Body Commission risked losing his passport, came to the shores of Durban, charming and enchanting the enthusiasm of the local pious people in Chanting Hare Krishna to date.

All glories to Natai Gauri Hari. All glories to Srila  Prabhupada.

The most Auspicious Appearance Day of Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu's the Yuga Avatar Ki Jai

Our latest recruit, Thando, 6 years old enjoyed the chanting at the 21 Birthday bash last night of Papa, Lights, Avish Singh, baby son of Geetha and Prem Singh, an Actural Student at UKZN.

He and his mum Sne promised to come to the Sunday Love Feast Program at NJP in Phoenix.

A sumptuous meal will be served after the Supreme Worship of Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Hari Hari Bol, the Supreme  Super Soul Rock Star, so let's Rock & Roll in the Streets of Durban.

"Even a child and a poor man can take part in the chanting and dancing," said His Holiness Giriraj Swami quoting His Divine AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna
With love
