Pakisthani devotees cheers New Year Vedic program

The best gift to offer to your best friend is to offer the Science of Krishna Consciousness.

Pakisthani devotees in the New Year Sankirtan

On the New Year 2012 feast in the Naamhat Boxtel, the participants exchanged this immortal gift, an aphorism in becoming Krishna Conscious together with the devotees orginally from Pakisthan. Among the hundreds of invitees to come together for the Vedic cultural activites organised every 3rd Saturdays, this year has started with very interesting group from Pakisthan who has been showing interest in Vedic culture and the science of Krishna Consciousness. People from Vedic and non Vedic cultural background alike were always appealed to come together, at least once in a month and enjoy collectively the oasis of this culture. Generally the  immigrant Nepalese and Bhutanese are being approached for this purpose but yet less than a hand of them turned up so far in the last ten years. Besides these, quite a number of indigeniuous Dutch people and those of Indian background have been participating in this cultural programs, intended for social and cultural integration in The Netherlands. To the organisors of this Naamhat, welcoming another group namely the Pakisthanis is very encouraging and cordial. 

Sankirtan with Pakistani

On the New Year sankirtan program two Pakisthani families arrived with much enthusism. Their relatives and neighbours also sent their interest and willingness to come in future. Another family was from Indian background. We had very interesting interaction and sankirtan together. They came with the children. Children performed a drama based on Puran, the appearance of Sri Krishna-Vishnu in the form of Sri Nrisimha Deva and rescued Praladh. Childrens are the backbone of the society and if they are brought up scientifical methods of Krishna consciousness they shall become very useful to their communities and the state at large because they develop amicable attitude to see evryone as the family of the Lord. They will have very peaceful manners and environmentally friendly conduct being vegetarian.

Perhaps having had difficulties being devotees of Hindu tradition in the country where other´s faith is not much appreciated, Pakisthani devotees has much attachment to the deities and wishdom behind worshiping them. Srila Prabhupada who propagated this Vedic culture has been uniting the people of all backgrounds despite all odds related to politics and seclussion. Its his contribution that we are distributing though Naamhat programs, the best gift to the dearest ones, the science of Krishna consciousness.  Through the participations to such programs, the goal of the human form of life can be attained. Its the cultural orientations that divides people but also unites with each other irrespective of the background they are when its expressed with good will and love.
