Chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. BTG Editors (03-08-07)
 The chanting of Hare Krsna, known in India for thousands of years, is the
great prayer for peace -- for individual peace of mind and worldwide
tranquility. By repeating these nonsectarian names of God the sincere
chanter is gradually released from material illusions and elevated to the
platform of pure spiritual consciousness, Krsna consciousness.
This prayer
has been given to the other countries of the world by the spiritual master
of the Hare Krsna movement, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada. He has endowed his disciples with his spirit of traveling and
enlightening the world in Krsna consciousness, and they in turn are using
their Western technology to spread the chanting of Hare Krsna.
Pictured above are some of the traveling students of the Hare Krsna
movement. They have converted three Greyhound buses into mobile temples to
bring the message of Krsna consciousness to every town and village in the
United States and Canada.
Their program consists of week-long festivals,
featuring chanting (accompanied by Eastern instruments), delicious
vegetarian feasts, and lectures from the books of their spiritual master.
They have just completed a tour of colleges in Florida, Georgia, Texas,
Arizona and California and are now preparing for a tour of Canada and the
northern United States.
The Hare Krsna movement proposes to change the
modern misconception that God should be kept locked in a church all week
and then uncovered for an hour on Sunday. The truth is that serving the
Supreme Lord is a 24-hour-a-day engagement, leading to eternal bliss.
As
you read through the pages of BACK TO GODHEAD, you'll find out how the
members of the Hare Krsna movement live this truth and how they teach it
all over the world.
