By most measurable indicators, the world today is far from peaceful. Armed conflicts persist across multiple regions, families are being strained under mounting pressures, and economic instability continues to erode livelihoods on a global scale. In both private and public spaces, conversations are increasingly dominated by anxious, often polarized discussions of politics and geopolitics.
It is within this atmosphere of collective unease that ISKCON Farmington Hills in Michigan will host a week-long, uninterrupted Kirtan Festival for World Peace—168 consecutive hours of Harinam Sankirtan, offered freely and open to all, beginning on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya.
“Right now, three wars are going on,” said Yugal Kishore Das, Temple President of ISKCON Farmington Hills and Zonal Supervisor for ISKCON’s Michigan and New York state operations. “Wherever you see, there is so much unrest. Wars, people being killed — children, women, men. People are losing jobs left and right. Rather than criticizing and spending so much energy on who is involved, who is the reason behind that war or this war, let us do something positive and constructive.”
