One of the things I love about our two SKP leaders in London, Parasurama and Govinda Prabhus, is that they are always willing to invite younger devotees to lead Kirtan while out on Saturday Night Harinams. They only request that the Kirtan leader sings simple melodies that all the devotees can follow and that will also be memorable to the public.
Last night the Kirtan in Leicester Square was led by young Madhava Anderson Prabhu, a former Kuli and the son of Krishna Dharma and Cintamani Dhama Prabhus. Then later on they invited Bhaktin Denia to lead us along Shaftsbury Ave and back through Soho to the temple at the end of the evening.
See the video of Bhaktin Denia below
Soon, if the numbers of devotees keep increasing we are going to need more and more Kirtan leaders as one of our plans is to split into two or three different parties when we set out from Govinda’s at 7.30. We will then all come together in a huge Hare Krsna Explosion in Leicester Square around 8.30
Can you imagine?
Already magically the size of the Kirtan party has doubled over the last few weeks. Must be something to do with our new flyer. Please keep coming and also invite your friends and families to join us
This week it was wonderful to see four members of the same family enthusiastically taking part. Krishna Dharma Prabhu, his wife Cintamani Dham and their son and daughter Madhava and Radhika
We should always be looking out for younger devotees to take up responsibility for leading and spreading the Krsna Consciousness movement.
See what Srila Prabhupada said just days before his disappearance in Vrndavan. Of course it is not just related to Harinams.
“If you want, you can also become a leader. We have no such thing, that ‘Here is leader.’ Anyone who follows the previous leadership, he’s a leader.” [Srila Prabhupada, Room Conversation, 11-2-77]
This week we distributed another 2,200 copies of ‘On Chanting Hare Krsna’ freely
Here is the YouTube link to the video. Hope you enjoy it.
Please come out and join the Harinam as much as possible. Or better still start one in your own city if there is not already one going on.
Param Vijayate Sri Krsna Samkirtanam
