(The Temple of Hercules .. Amman, Citadel)
BB Govinda Swami: Yesterday evening we had our first talk and kirtan in Amman, Jordan.
It was a small group of very nice folks and they all chanted the holy names with full enthusiasm.
I think this must have been the first kirtan in Jordan and while chanting I was thinking of Srila Prabhupada chanting in Tompkins Square Park.
I pray that Prabhupada is pleased by our small efforts and blesses us with his mercy.
Afterwards, we had a royal vegan dinner cooked by Lebanon’s ambassador to Jordan, Tracey Chamoun. She has been a vegan +/- 30 years.
Her wonderful hospitality, knowledge of Krishna Consciousness, and especially delicious food is something we’ll not forget anytime soon.
Amman has more of a desert-like climate, it is spotlessly clean, and we have been really impressed by how the Jordanian people overflow with hospitality.
Tonight we will chant again at “Over The Rainbow” and tomorrow we will return to Beirut.
