Our December Kirtan














We were surprised to see so many come to the kirtan last Sunday, considering the wet and windy weather. But there of course nothing like the courage of the British!

It was a jolly event with Sakhyarasa, a wonderful kirtan leader and personality. He had come all the way from Birmingham to chant with us. In his traveller's mood, he brought us further afield to both Gujarat in India, as well as Bengal, with his singing and descriptions. So if you wonder why we have pictures of coconut trees and banana plants in this post - ask no further...

Here are the kirtans he lead:

(1) Gujarat

shri-krishna-govinda hari-murari
he-nath-narayan vasudeva


om namo bhagavate vasudevaya


govinda jaya jaya gopala jaya jaya

radha-ramana-hari govinda jaya jaya

govinda govinda govinda govinda

gopala gopala gopala gopala


with the Hare Krishna mantra.

(2) Bengal

Gay Gaura Madhur Svare

hare krishna hare krishna
krishna krishna hare hare

hare rama hare rama

rama rama hare hare


(3) Hare Krishna mantra

hare krishna hare krishna
krishna krishna hare hare

hare rama hare rama

rama rama hare hare


A big thank you to all who came to our chanting sessions this year. We hope to see you again next year!
