Sri Harinam Sankirtan Nectar – Sydney CBD Sri Harinam Sankirtan Nectar – Sydney CBD

\nIn the Krishna Book Srila Prabhupada writes that the \u201cdevotees of the Lord, are not selfish. Whatever benefits they derive from the Supreme Personality of Godhead as benedictions they want to distribute to all other persons. That is the greatest of all humanitarian activities.\u201d (Krishna Book, Ch.43.)
\nWhen we think of humanitarian activities, we might think that it is about doing \u201cgood activities\u201d – whatever that may entail. Doing \u201cgood\u201d activities is of course better than doing bad ones, but devotees of Krishna knows this isn\u2019t the goal of life.
\nThe concept of \u201cgood\u201d can be subjective and simply setting out to do good can keep us tied to this material platform.
\nIt can be said that true humanitarianism is to share with others the power of the holy name. The difference between this activity and any other is that it is all encompassing. The analogy of watering the roots of the plant rather than the leaves has been used many times to demonstrate this, but it\u2019s a clear example. Chanting the holy name, and so connecting with Krishna, is the ticket to being able to see the bigger picture, and ultimately bring true happiness, rather tham superficial happiness, to all beings.
\nThis is why we are chanting in the streets of Sydney every week – to introduce every possible person to the sound of the names of Radha and Krishna.
\nToday Radhika Prasad distributed 24 books in city. Some ladies visiting from Singapore, who took some of Srila Prabhupada\u2019s books to read, graciously bowed to Radhika Prasad requesting that he continue this good work of Harinam and book distribution. Another man who took back to Godhead asked if he could hire the devotees for their determination.
\nDon\u2019t forget we are chanting in the street every Friday in the City of Sydney. We meet at 6.30pm at Town Hall.
\nPlease join us whenever you can, you will enjoy it and everyone will benefit.
\nAll glories to Sri Harinam Sankirtan
