Ranchor Prime came all the way from London to lead us into chanting and he created such a wonderfully spiritual and relaxed atmosphere. He brought with him his Tambura (which you can see on the photo) that he bought in the 70's in Kolkata, and which he reckons must be the largest in England. It indeed had a wonderful sound. Here are our recordings:

As Oxford got flooded by the rising waters of the Thames, we left the kirtan flooded by the chanting (but with dry feet). I hope you'll enjoy the kirtans as much as we enjoyed them on Sunday. [The photo below is the grass meadow on the side of Magdalen Bridge, looking rather more like a lake than anything else]

Ranchor's kirtans are sublime! I've really enjoyed listening to them.
But the Hare Krishna one (the third one) appears not to be there. I'd like to hear it too.
A well-wisher.
Thank you Suzannah. I tried the link for the Hare Krishna mantra and it works, so I don't know why it doesn't work for you.
Glad you're enjoying them though.
