Harinam Venice 2009 - Hare Krishna - Europa Festival

In every religious tradition we are encouraged to praise God’s names. From the rising of the sun unto its setting, the Lord’s name is to be praised. - Psalms 113:3 / Glorify the name of your Lord, the most high. - Koran 87.2 / All who sincerely call upon My name will come to Me after death, and I will take them to Paradise - Vows of Amida Buddha 18 / Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Acts 2:21 / Chant the holy name, chant the holy name, chant the holy name of the Lord. In this age of quarrel there is no other way, no other way, no other way to attain spiritual enlightenment. - Brihan-Naradiya Purana // Kirtan, glorification of God through His names, is not a sectarian religious practice. It is the natural fulfilment of every person’s desire to sing, praise, cheer and chant the glories of a superior person’s extraordinary activities. It brings happiness, peace and harmony to all persons who thus find their common object of adoration - God.
