Spreading the Mission
Harinama and Kirtana
Residents and people from all over the world come together to engage in Harinama Sankirtana and hear, chant and dance to the constant sound of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra (Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare) and Krishna-katha, thus forgetting their bodily identification and experiencing the joy of loving devotional service.
The topmost priority is preaching, book distribution, teaching, and spreading the mission of Lord Chaitanya within the campus, from village to village and country to country in both traditional and innovative ways to all classes of people. Srila Prabhupada said, “This Mayapur is meant for this purpose, to spread Krishna consciousness movement all over the world as it was desired by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.”
The prime purpose of ‘Kirtan Mela’ is to give devotees an opportunity to experience the bliss of Harinama by absorbing their minds and hearts in the prayerful chanting of the Holy Names.
Harinam parties in the campus facilitate the chanting and hearing of the Holy Names to visitors and pilgrims from all over the world. Srila Prabhupada said, “By chanting, this center will become spiritually perfect – a living temple and true United Nations.”
Srila Prabhupada said, “Therefore our mission is to bring Mayapur everywhere... This is the greatest peace movement, to bring peace to the suffering humanity.” Several devotees visit remote areas in travelling temples distributing books, prasadam and giving spiritual discourses.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura conceived the Nama-hatta, marketplace for the holy name. ISKCON Mayapur Nama-hatta facilitates various congregation programs, House Programs, etc. all over West Bengal, Bihar & Orissa.
