A Sharing to the Outside World
Between today’s meetings, the local television outlet came to interview me. I couldn’t get the name of the station but one of the participants to interview me, a Krishna devotee, was keen to know about two major things: Why all the walking? And, secondly, what is it about Krishna Consciousness that youth can find stimulating?
First of all, the long walks through countries are a way to connect with people. You are trekking along by the road and a motorist takes a fancy, offers a ride, to which you decline, and then you strike up a conversation, bringing them that much closer to nature and its maker. I also explained that numerous opportunities arise to speak to the public by way of media networks and talking engagements at community centres, libraries, yoga studios, and so forth. “The health benefits of walking are also immeasurable.”
The big draw for youth to the Hare Krishna, in India and abroad, is the practice of kirtan. “Kirtanis a collective effort to share the joy of the soul. People love the beat of the drum which makes you want to dance. The singing is uplifting and is an import beyond the universe.” I went on to say that it is a party. Young people in particular are trying to find their place in the world. Kirtanis very grounding.
Before the crew left, I asked if the group would speak with their feet. I had an incentive now to be the interviewer and ask them something basic for Instagram. So we did something. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFlTLelbaV/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=xnsy7gairue3
