An emergency wake up call for Krishna Consciousness

If other karmi groups can organize everything from "million man marches", to

gay pride parades to Super Bowls, why can't all the different temple groups of

Hare Krishnas re-energize Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan Movement, and zero in on

New York City? This is a perfect "launch window" of opportunity!

 

It's no coincidence that Srila Prabhupada chose New York as the epicenter of

Krishna Consciousness in the western world. New York City sets the pace for

the rest of the world in every sphere of activity, from finance and fashion, to

art, music and cuisine. If devotees could stage kirtans around the clock all

through the city, with special focus around the damaged areas, they could not

only help to counteract the glaring effects of Maya, but could also focus

international media attention on Prabhupada's Movement!

 

This terrorist event is actually the wake up call for all the Krishna Devotees

of Prabhupada's Society to transcend the "little sectarian differences" that

have preoccupied and stagnated the movement! This in-house quarreling has not

only turned-off multitudes of potential new devotees, but it has kept existing

devotees from the real work that is so urgently needed, RIGHT NOW, which is

widespread, intensive, and focused efforts to invade New York City with Krishna

Kirtans!!! As an ex football coach, believe me! There's nothing like a

"COMEBACK KID"!

 

Why not start a massive, second wave of Krishna Consciousness in America?

With a constant onslaught of kirtans all over the city, devotees could get

media coverage on Larry King Live, Oprah Winfrey, 20/20, Nightline, you name

it! (Besides, all the other religious groups are banding together to pray for

the victims of the terrorist disaster, and they're getting media attention!)

So, it is in this spirit of national urgency that I urge all the leaders of

ISKCON, plus any and all other Krishna groups to unite in the Holy Names, and

really BOMB New York with the one sound that can end all quarreling and

dissention:

 

 

THIS IS THE TRUTH.

Paramvijayate sri kishna sankirtana.
