JAHNU SAPTAMI & HARINAM SANKIRTAN
On the auspicious day of "Jahnu Saptami" (Friday, May 17), ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV) is organizing a Maha Harinam Sankirtan in the busiest streets of Palo Alto distributing the holy names to everyone as desired by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We will also be distributing the sacred Ganges water to everyone. On this day, the Ganga is worshipped and many people make offerings to the forefathers, and bathe in the Ganga. It is very auspicious to worship the Ganges and bathe in her waters on this holy day. Let us invoke the mercy of the most sacred of rivers, the Ganges by enthusiastically participating in the Harinam Sankirtan which is the Yuga dharma for this Age of Kali. Join us for this most exciting and all-blissful activity of publicly chanting the holy names for the benefit of all the living entities!
