A Day Of Reconciliation (Album of photos) A Day Of Reconciliation (Album of photos)
\nIndradyumna Swami: Today was a national holiday in South Africa officially called, \u201cThe Day of Reconciliation.\u201d It is meant to help reconcile grievous misunderstandings that exist between different ethnic groups in the country. In a spirit of goodwill, we took a harinama party to an outlying township near Durban where African people live well below the poverty line. We chanted Hare Krsna with them and danced in ecstasy altogether. We distributed healthy, nutritious food offered to Krsna. We gave out Srila Prabhupada\u2019s books in Zulu. We spoke with the people and embraced them. We saw no differences between us and them, for we are all spirit souls, part of the greater family of God. Our journey into the township was not without risks. We saw one sign that read, \u201cWhites Keep Out.\u201d As a precaution, we were escorted everywhere by a well-armed police force. They were vigilant. But in the end, love reigned supreme and Krsna stole everyone\u2019s heart. As we rode back home in our vehicles I was thinking, \u201cGood Lord, I could do this every day of my life!\u201d

\nIndradyumna Swami: Today was a national holiday in South Africa officially called, “The Day of Reconciliation.” It is meant to help reconcile grievous misunderstandings that exist between different ethnic groups in the country. In a spirit of goodwill, we took a harinama party to an outlying township near Durban where African people live well below the poverty line. We chanted Hare Krsna with them and danced in ecstasy altogether. We distributed healthy, nutritious food offered to Krsna. We gave out Srila Prabhupada’s books in Zulu. We spoke with the people and embraced them. We saw no differences between us and them, for we are all spirit souls, part of the greater family of God. Our journey into the township was not without risks. We saw one sign that read, “Whites Keep Out.” As a precaution, we were escorted everywhere by a well-armed police force. They were vigilant. But in the end, love reigned supreme and Krsna stole everyone’s heart. As we rode back home in our vehicles I was thinking, “Good Lord, I could do this every day of my life!”
