Hare Krishna at Times Square

Comment Email

Dear devotees,
Hare Krishna.

Here is a link to the video of the Times Square Harinam on Saturday night which Locanananda spoke of. It's very amazing, alot of people on the streets join in to chant and dance, especially now that we have a mantra sign alot of people follow along. There are many videos and pictures being taken by many who take them home and show their friends and family. Of course there are devotees distributing literature and mantracards. There is an estimated 50,000 people that pass by that street corner in 2 hours during that time. At the end of this video there is one very interesting picture which was taken after the Harinam when we reached back to the car. It just so happened that right there was a bus stop with an advertisement manifesting several transcendental forms of Lord Krishna, one holding the flute with Radha and 2 Gopal Deities with sweet balls (There's also a Hanuman and Durga Mata in there too). The ad is for Delta airline to fly to India, it's Headlined "Cheat on New York"..."Sneak away to Mumbai,.." I took it as Lord Krishna's indication to somehow or other sneak Krishna Consciousness to the people of New York. What an ecstatic night.

Here's the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA40nHG13lQ.

Hare Bol,
Madhavananda das
