12/11/11. At times of dufficulty Hare Krishna's scientific approach to human happiness is practical in life and at the time of death. This is the impression a family originally from Pakisthan living in Rotterdam gave to the aspirant devotees who gathered for the Vedic cultural program organised in their house on 12th November 2011.

Worth to mention is that their family members in Pakisthan are dedicated in chanting the mahamantra that gave them the real happiness at times of difficulties like the death in the family. 'When my mother left her body, she was leaning at my father's breast and calling the name of the Lord Krishna- Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna' said Manoj showing the visitors fotos and videos of the gatherings of devotees chanting Hare Krishna mahamantra during the funeral rites of his mother.
He said that the devotees in dozens came to their home all the 13 days of the mourning period and chanted the glories of the Supreme, day and night. This is something surprising which is taking place in Pakisthan. This is the mercy of Srila Prabhupada that despite the severe divide between the followers of Hindu and Islam, there is still an amicable scientific approach to human life to live in peace and harmoney. And that approach is the Hare Krishna tradition.
Naamhat program is addressing the people at the grassroot level. Manoj has his old mother-in-law and other little children to take care and everyone of them found peace in this tradition of Hare Krishna. He has perhaps for the first time launched such a program in his new home in Rotterdam that purifies his existence. About 20 devotees gathered there and did about three hours of bhajan kirtan.
It is expected that this family will conduct regular sankirtan program at home. At times of difficulties during the divide of India and Pakisthan devotional sevice of Vaisnavism continued in few families and lived happily. So in the materialistic metropolitan city practicing this traditon shall not be difficult. Hare Krishna, when taken up honestly will address anyone's heart and enlighten them with real happiness. It is the only scientific approach that sees no borders of any kind among all the living entities.
