Auckland 50th – Arrival of VIPs (6 min video)
Our VIPs are greeted with a traditional Maori greeting, followed by a Haka. They are all then invited to garland Srila Prabhupada.
A haka is a traditional war cry and chant originally used to intimidate tribal opponents and enemies with loud shouts, chest thumps and exaggerated facial features and movements.
In current times, it often is performed to welcome guests or at special occasions, like weddings etc.
