Hare Krishna is a mantra, and it was sung yesterday by the above people at Greensboro's 10th annual Summer Solstice Festival. The mantra (hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna, krishna, hare hare, was first popularized around 1500 AD. It is meant to bring spiritual enlightenment. Strict followers of this stict belief system aspire to lead holy lives and they abstain from intoxicants.
The Hare Krishna group sat still for a very long time yesterday chanting and playing their various instruments. A few, we walking around explaining their belief system to others. Stay tuned and we'll feature mora about the solstice event later this week. And, if your want to read more about Hare Krishna, do so, here. Happy Sunday, and Hare Krishna, dear readers!
Oh, it's been a long time since I heard of Hare Krishna.
Thanks for this reminder.
