ISKCON Mayapur celebrated the World Holy Name Week from 24th September to 4th October. Every day from 27th September to 4th October, there was a Nama Yajna at Srila Prabhupada’s bhajan kutir from 4 PM to 9 PM followed by prasadam. This Nama Yajna started on 27th Septmeber in celebration of Srila Haridas Thakur’s disappearance and it was performed in front of a murti of Srila Haridas Thakur. HH Lokanath Swami’s ecstatic kirtana on 2nd October was one of the most liked kirtana in Nama Yajna.
There were many other events during the Holy Name Week centered around the holy names. On 27th September devotees did a japa walk from temple to yoga pitha accompanied by a murti of Srila Prabhupada. On 28th September, gurukula boys led a big kirtana. On 1st October, there was a Hari Nama sankirtan by young students of SMIS. The older SMIS students also did a Hari Nama sankirtan on 2nd October. Truly, Mayapur was immersed in kirtana rasa during the entire Holy Name Week.
