Srila Prabhupada himself came from Calcutta on the 8th, and from the very beginning of our programs in Bombay, Srila Prabhupada became known as one “who is startling India with kirtan.” Our kirtans were full of so much excitement—they were so thrilling—we were like one throbbing heartbeat—the heartbeat of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission of Krishna consciousness. It is difficult to describe how much potency we felt in the kirtans—not just in the chanting, but how the chanting was being received by others. It was amazing how clearly we could see how the chanting changed the hearts and psyches of so many people, and this simply spurred us on even more. Like a holistic circle—the dynamic circle of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtan Movement—we took the process our Guru Maharaja gave us to heart, practiced it, gave it to others through Harinama Sankirtan, and then saw it act on their hearts. It was truly a magical, wonderful thing, and I felt so privileged to be part of it.
