San Francisco 1970.
This footage by Yadubara captures a historical period in Lord Chaitanya’s Kirtan Movement in America. Many thanks to the hard working souls who served Srila Prabhupada and made this event happen.
The music for this video is a song I wrote in the winter of 1971, Columbus Ohio.
Lord Chaitanya’s moon is rising
No it’s not at all surprising
That we’re singing in the street
Telling everyone we meet we’re going home
There’s a golden moon overhead now
We must serve Chaitanya somehow
He’s the Golden Avatar
Spread the Names of Krishna far, to every town
To every single town
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
This world is dark and full of sorrow
But there will come a bright tomorrow
When we sing the Holy Name
In praise of He who came for everyone
For each and everyone
Lord Chaitanya’s moon is rising
No it’s not at all surprising
That we’re singing in the street
Telling everyone we meet we’re going home
