March Maha-Monthly Sankirtan Festival - A Report

In spite of the extremely cold weather, we received an over-whelming response as 4 teams headed out on the streets on Sat March 26th - Our 22nd Monthly Sankirtan Festival, being celebrated as Gaura Purnima Special. Accompanied by constant harinama, prasad distribution and books, enthusiastic faces adorned prime city corners at - Bloor & Dufferin; Bloor & Spadina; Yonge & Dundas; and City Hall.

Additionally, there was also a team of devotees going around to some motels that day, endeavoring to place Bhagavad Gita in the motels.

By the mercy of Lord Gauranga more than 80 devotees participated in this sankirtan festival, and many more sent loving prayers! We were also able to distribute 178 books and several hundred pieces of prasad!

Thank you very much for your inspiring contribution. Your participation in the festival, your support through preparation of prasad, your help in organizing the logistics and even just sending us your prayers - indeed made this event a success!

tattva-vastu — kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa-bhakti, prema-rūpa

nāma-sańkīrtana — saba ānanda-svarūpa

The Absolute Truth is Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and loving devotion to Śrī Kṛṣṇa exhibited in pure love is achieved through congregational chanting of the holy name, which is the essence of all bliss. CC Adi 1.96

We pray that all of us together, continue to experience this "essence of all bliss" - Harinama Sankirtana for rest of our lives!
