Hare Krishna festival in Borehamwood, UK.
\nHundreds are expected to attend the upcoming Hare Krishna festival next Friday.
\nNext week the Hare Krishna festival will be held at the Fairway Hall, in Brook Close, Borehamwood at 7pm with live music, dance and vegetarian food and is open to the public.
\nISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) and local members of the Hare Krishna movement have teamed up to invite the public to the festivities.
\nGiridhari Das, a Hare Krishna monk who heads the UK festival team, said: \u201cProbably best known from the Glastonbury Music Festival or for singing in the streets of central London, as the Hare Krishna Festival team we tend to appear all over the place. Whether local carnivals, theatres or town halls we like to be with the people.\u201d
\nThe Hare Krishna Movement follows ancient teachings of devotional yoga with roots in the Vedic culture of India, dating back more than 5,000 years.
\nIt became popular in the 1960\u2019s when its message was brought to western countries by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada \u2013 an Indian guru, aged 70, who left Vrindavan, India, and set sail for the United States in 1965 with just a few dollars in his pocket.
\nWithin a year of his arrival he set up ISKCON, and today the movement has more than 700 temples and centres worldwide, including 60 farm communities, 50 schools and 90 restaurants.
\nThe Borehamwood festival, and other festivals across the UK this year, is part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Hare Krishna movement.
\nBhaktivedanta Manor, in Aldenham, has been a spiritual retreat for thousands ever since it opened in 1973.
\nNathan Hartley, who looks after PR & Communications at ISKCON Festivals, said: \u201cOur philosophy is very rich and attractive to many people. In a world that\u2019s becoming increasingly competitive, and has people believing they will only be happy through material gain, we are showing a deeply positive alternative.
\n“The Krishna Consciousness message is for everyone. A universal, non-sectarian message of love, simple living, service and above all \u2013 connecting the self with the original spiritual source, Krishna.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
