Street Chanting
How Did You Reach That Conclusion?

Hare Krishna Prabhu,

From your article, it appears that you equate Sankirtan (congregational chanting of the Holy Name in public) with the fact that the Israeli Yatra did not grow numerically; ie: now that you do not chant in the streets, it has grown. What exactly brings you to that conclusion?

If you are now growing in numbers, surely it cannot only be due to the cessation of Harinam? Surely now you must be doing other things that attract people? If only stopping "street chanting" would increase our numbers then I am certain we would all follow that advice, but somehow, I feel it is misleading.

With all due respects.
