After the success of the Global Kartik Kirtan event, in which more than 30 cities of the world took part, it was clear that it should become a tradition. Warm comments from many delegates encouraged us to start planning the next event right after that first endeavor. For the second time with the intention of creating transformation through transcendental sound vibration, unification of the community and our personal prayers, we are all gathering together in our own parts of the world to share Kirtan bliss.
Global Kartik Kirtan Vancouver Canada
Dear prabhus,
All glories to Srila prabhupada and all glories to the Holy Name!
I would like to take this opportunity to express some deep appreciation for the community, locally and globally, for the success which was the Vancouver 24 hour kirtan.
First, in my sleep deprived estimation, it was a screaming success. Overall, the event ran smoothly with a few minor details which were ironed out. We could see Madana mohan’s hand moving in certain ways that showed us how He wanted the event to unfold. Many of us were forced to accept His desire and just “roll with it”.
From the core of my heart, I have deep appreciation for the devotees who stepped up and took many services and claimed them as their own for the success of the yagna:
Global Kartik Kirtan Soho London
On Saturday Nov 8th, the Soho temple graciously welcomed gurukuli’s, psena, and members of the congregation to join in a global 24 hour kirtan event.
The essence of this Global Kirtan event was about activating our international kirtan community in a simultaneous resounding prayer around the globe, with its source from the heart of Vrindavan.
Surrounding the Earth in the transcendental sound vibrations of Kirtan will have a powerful effect amidst the ever disturbing events of the world.

Exploring the History of ISKCON's "Gurukula Experiment"

Posted August 18th, 2008 by chaits
For Kuli MeLA 2009 I have proposed a presentation currently titled, “Exploring the History of ISKCON’s ‘Gurukula Experiment.’”
The concept is still evolving, but I have a few ideas:
This would be an “interactive” display with photos, video, time lines, highlights, Prabhupada’s quotes and letters about his ideas and intentions for the gurukula, letters and essays from Gurukulis about their memories and experiences, letters and essays from 1st generation people about their memories and experiences related to the gurukulas, letters and essays from the Kuli crowd with their thoughts, memories, appreciations, etc. More as it develops.
