    Chanting in the Paris Metro

    Namaste,

    Story of some ISKCON devotees conducting metroyoga - sankirtan in the metro - in Paris.

    Vannakkam Believer: My first encounter with ISKCON was way back when on the streets. I remember enjoying it, by just hanging around, not saying much. Certainly there were aspects of joy there. But then for lots of reasons, the seemed to withdraw from the public streets. In some ways I wish they'd do it more.

    Aum Namasivaya

    Yes, they were very instrumental in thrusting Hinduism to the fore, but then lot of them left ISKCON as they expected instant gratification. With their ranks thinned out, they hardly have enough people to manage their mandirs. The youthful exuberance went away with the disappearance of the youth. It is just like the old South....Gone with the wind.

    Pranam.

    Few years ago, I used to see Hare Krishna devotees selling books on Krishna including Bhagavatam for a very cheap price out at New Jersey's Oak Tree Rd having those entire chain of Indian shops. I don't see any such people anymore there. Miss the books.

    Namaste

    Does Life seem Jolly rotten?
    There’s something you’ve forgotten!
    And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing …




    Whenyou’re feeling in the dumps?
    Don’t be silly chumps!





    Justpurse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing!







    And Always Look on the Brighter Side of Life …











    Always Look on the Lighter Side of Life!


    (From the song, "Always look on the Bright Side of Life")

    Om Namah Sivaya (they are still dancing in Russia, they are still dancing in California)

    You will have to pay the shipping charges, but all the books should be available at Krishna.com
