Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 The first international festival has taken place here for the Iskcon devotees. The Bengali form of kirtan has had a major influence on many of the devotees. Srila Prabhupada expressed some displeasure about the chanting of so many different mantras. He said, "They can chant their 'Nitai Gaura, Hari Bols', but I will chant Hare Krsna and go back home, Back to Godhead." Some of the kirtans did get caught up in the 'Hari bols' too much. If we understood the translation maybe we would know what to do. Srila Prabhupada enjoyed chanting the Maha mantra. >From "Srila Prabhupada Uvaca" By Srutakirti dasa Copyright @ 1996 Hare Krsna. Can someone comment on the history of "Hari Bols" in ISKCON? Where did it came from and why did it became a must for any kirtana? Also "Nitai Gaurangas","Radhe Radhe Govinda" etc. Why we never heard any recorded chanting of those mantras by Srila Prabhupada? Thank you, your servant,Janaka Mahajana dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
