The Yuga dharma for this Age of Kali is "Nama Sankirtan", the congregational chanting of Lord's names. Harinam Sankirtan, also known as Nagar Sankirtana, was inaugurated by Lord Chaitanya over 500 years ago to publicly chant these names and not only benefit oneself but also give it out freely to others. Lord Chaitanya stressed that the chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare is the easiest means of self-realization.

You are cordially invited to join us for performing the Yuga Dharma Harinam Sankirtan in Palo Alto. Please join us for a happy dance party and musical chanting of the Lord's Holy Names.
