Karanamrta is a second generation woman within the Krishna Consciousness movement. I always refer to her as my daughter. Born to please audiences with her sweet voice at kirtan (chanting) she had her crowds dancing. An inner drive compelled me to reach out for any djemby player I could find and start a chanting circle without a stage but on the ground with people. Before long our humble make shift band of four swelled to a convergence of many enthusiastic chanters and dancers, people in fervour for fun. I was impressed how many people committed themselves to learning the mantra. The final kirtan on the main stage was phenomenal, the participation – remarkable. It is a clear confirmation that mantra power is “the way to serenity” within this age.
The truth spoken by previous mentors who predicted the coming of a spiritual sound and how it would transform the world was something I can now clearly bear witness to.
The organizers of Woodstock in Poland, Europe’s largest open air music event, attracted 300 000 people with 110 000 plates of Krishna food prepared and distributed to the public on the weekend.
Finally a truly rewarding experience was receiving those positive remarks from those who witnessed our dramas over the weekend. It was not always easy to gain a focus from the “plastered” crowd but when our players came on the stage with those black and silver “Gita” outfits it would bait them..
