Krishna’s People (Gente di Krishna), a new online talk show in Italian, gives voice to the devotee majority in Italy – those who live regular lives working, studying and taking care of their families, while incorporating Krishna consciousness.
The program, hosted by Villa Vrindavana temple president and Italian Communications Director Parabhakti Das, takes place live on Zoom every Friday at 7pm Italian time, and is broadcast to platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. It is viewed live by about 35 to 50 people, and 50 to 60 the next day, and aims to reach newcomers as well as devotees.
As the pandemic first set in during March 2020, Parabhakti began offering online programs for the Italian congregation, reading and chanting together and taking questions, so that people from across the nation could connect with others and have some Krishna conscious association.
