Nama Prabhu Is A Person
→ Japa Group

“Nama Prabhu is a person with all the qualities of Krishna just as good as His form, but when you chant mechanically it’s like you’re chanting the puppet rather than the person. The body is tired and can’t give its energy in devotion as it would like to. But you push on and pray for the best.”

Harinam 3.1.2015 in Prague, Czech Republic (Album 40 photos)
For many years harinams – the color joyous procession of devotees singing the holy name of Krishna accompanied by harmonium, mridangas and karatalas – are inseparable from Prague. This singing represents the yuga-dharma for this age. We go regularly on Wednesdays and Fridays at 4 PM from Obecni du*m on Republic Square. If you would like to join, you are cordially invited. “Sankirtana brings grace of Krishna’s holy names to the spiritually inert mass of people and indeed to all living beings who do not otherwise have the opportunity or inclination to Krishna consciousness. This public chanting purifies the contaminated atmosphere of the Kali Yuga. Everyone who will participate, will be dear to Lord Chaitanya.”
