Chowpatty Ethos:

Extract from HH Niranjana Maharaja January 26th 2002

 

As many of you know, the Chowpatty temple in

Bombay is trying to establish a model for our

society. It is actually just like one big family;

the devotees have very deep relationships with

each other. This is because they not only

associate with each other within the service that

they have, but they are learning how to associate

with each other outside the realm of the day-to-day service...

 

So these devotees take themselves outside of

those working relationships and have relationships based upon Krishna-katha…

 

So when the Chowpatty devotees come together and

study Srila Prabhupada's books, they teach each

other, they have kirtans and bhajans together

and, as you probably know, they have a whole

network of support to help each other."
