Harinama in Hong Kong on New Year’s Eve

Dear Devotees,

Dandavat Pranams

We had an extraordinary Harinam to celebrate the end of 2002 and welcome 2003 with chanting the Mahamantra in the main street of the Tsim Sha Tsui district in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Devotees had started preparing prasadam in the early hours and putting it in small plastic bags for mass distribution during the chanting of the Hare Krsna Mahamantra in the streets of this great city.

How fortunate are those people who heard the holy names of the Lord at the end of this year! Thousands were blessed by the nectar of the names of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu the most merciful incarnation of the Supreme Lord.

Many devotees led the kirtan during the procession, which ended in front of the our temple. Just before midnight, Prabhav das prabhu chanted the Nrsimha prayers for the protection of all the devotees around the world. It was great to see people on the street dancing in front of the procession. Many of them were taking pictures of the devotees while following the transcendental Harinam.

For this program, many devotees did a great seva along with the congregation members of our community with enthusiasm and great devotion for serving Srila Prabhupada in every town and village.
