Tremendous response from the Chinese community


Jai Srila Prabhupada!



The Singapore Hare Krishna Yatra has entered a different phase resulting from the tremendous response given by the Chinese in Singapore.



For many years, the Chinese in Singapore did not have anything to do with Krishna Consciousness. Surprisingly though, there was a sudden growth in the number of Chinese devotees in a matter of last few weeks. The Chinese (of course, the others also) seem to love the ecstatic kirtans, the Bhagavad Gita classes (both Chinese and English), the dramas, the sumptuous Love Feast, it is just a great weekend for all of them. More Chinese books are being sold. They started chanting on the beads. They performed valuable service in making the Ratha Yatra a grand success.

Starting with only 3 to 4 people, the attendance of Chinese devotees for the weekend program increased to nearly 30 in six weeks' time.



The children are also learning dance from our dance teacher Bhakta Xavier for performing in the festivals.





Srila Prabhupada is showering downpours of mercy on the Singapore Yatra. Long live Srila Prabhupada's great movement! Hare Krishna!
