The Hare Krishna Movement is a contemporary exponent of Vedic culture or "Hinduism". It is actually millions of years old, but only arrived in the West, in NY City, in 1965. The saintly spiritual teacher, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada began sitting in Tompkins Square Park,chanting the timeless Hare Krishna mantra on his cymbals & began a free Sunday Vegetarian Love Feast . Thousands of spiritual seekers, Hippies, Beatniks, Bohemians, Draft dodgers, & scholars became intrigued by his books and message of achieving world peace & divine love through the process of bhakti yoga, or Krishna ( Christ ) consciouness. John Lennon picked up Prabhupada's recording of the Hare Krishna chant, turned George Harrison on to it, and they both started to experience the joy & purified consciousness that came from the mantra meditation of Hare Krishna chanting. Millions of youth became introduced to Hare Krishna through their music like "I Am The Walrus","Give Peace A Chance"", & "My Sweet Lord"

Hari Bol! Jai Prabhupada!

We need more outlets. There are a lot of websites where there is information, but people want to have a discussion online. Message boards, "blogs", and a chat room would be wonderful.

In the community, being involved in community festivals is an opportunity to distribute prasadam and literature, as well as the opportunity to hold kirtana. Another idea is to schedule time-slots in public places such as bookstores, so that anyone can simply walk in and immediately be exposed.

Multi-congregational churches also lend space for special gatherings, and we could introduce people in this way.

Mostly, chant, chant, chant. All glories to the Vaisnavas. All glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna!

Oh, and we need something so people who are isolated from the temples can associate with other devotees without traveling too far. Traveling devotees.
