[vku858]

This makes me want to move back to NY!! New Yorkers are such a good sport. I remember there was this really old man playing keyboard in one of the subway stations and this huge group gathered and everyone started dancing.

[MrMrkurdish]

THIS IS WHAT HAPPAYNESS IS ,

I THINK.

THEY LOOK HAPPY

GOOD FOR THEM, AT LEAST THEIR HAPPY

[lagunabeachcaliforni]

[icinkeful]

Imádlak Krsna!

[HickysBoy]

This clip always makes me happy!

[luckyceltic69]

@HickysBoy thats the purpose of the chant. to make you feel happy. Krishna was a happy peaceful Lord.

[kaveripathela]

this warms my heart. : )

[LOAblue]

That brought a smile to my face :-)

[veganath]

I love the Hare Krishnas... especially there food, & the non-violent vegetarian lifestyle, & the beauty of the spiritual teaching..... almost time to join....lol

[monalisa7]

You guys need some girls in that crowd. :P

Thanks for the vid. Always makes me smile.

[gunnskull]

13 People don't have a clue what is happening in the video. Lord Krishna will forgive them for their sin of disliking the video though.

[homfeldb]

Beautiful!!! Hare Krishna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chhenu]

God Bless the HINDUS!! :)

[holysmoker24]

this is a simple way to spread love ... woooo i like it : love it

[x245jk]

Energetic, uplifting and spiritual. Just what you need when you are feeling a little nasty and negative. Hare Krishna!!!

[MrAvatarra]

new york loooooooves hare krishna

[Thecrayzmapler]

@Sharikazoid it means take away my pain god and give eternal happiness

[ShyamInMyHeart]

... even if these bystanders are 'making fun' or 'having fun' ...

they are still chanting the Holy Names !

I love You Krishna!!! You are the Supreme Maestro!!!

This is a wonderful video :)

[rashi1024]

love it!

[dailydols]

these krishnas are annoying as hell, but they are the last people on the planet to be involved in a violent war, so let them be.

[binta2379]

ha ha i love it! Haribol!

[marietoe15toe]

wow their rockin gin this video :)

[ShaktipatSeer]

Praise God!!

[nicechamp]

gives me hope that people are happy .........say no to terrorism but yes to love...

[akhilasraya]

hilarious,brings back memories.hare krishna.

[Pashupatastra]

Beautiful Kritan

[fjt108]

Most successful Sankirtan I ever saw....Brilliant......Is there an Iskcon Oscar..they should get it.

[Pashupatastra]

Haribol!

[HickysBoy]

Moving, touching and uplifting.

[wildtantralover]

There's nothing like a good Sankirtana.

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

In this Kali Yuga, bhakti through audible chanting is the most effective way to stay spiritual for the masses.

Hinduism recognizes the great influence symbols and sound has on the consciousness. Thats why there are icons of God represented by Deities and bhakti hymns.

[jeffhardy077]

Much Love To All!

[dmnarc]

God I love New York...Somebody start this in Boston!

[attackingangel]

I know how awkward it would feel for people from other religion to see some random guys on street chanting with their weird haircut....But lets put it this way...how often do you get strangers coming together and chant or dance to a mantra without bothering about their problems at home or work and just thank the mysterious force or supreme force( GOD) for giving us a chance to live on this beautiful earth and share it with other animals and not kill them to fill our tiny tummy...peace!

[HickysBoy]

Interesting comparison, go-dragon. I think the folks in Seattle are too drugged out on $7 Starbucks Latte Mocha Pistachio Mint coffee. Not seeing sunshine for six months at a stretch may also figure.

[NarasimhaVishnu]

this video is amazing and so funny!

[MrParveeng]

hare krishna

[originalname33]

the Hare Krsna movement was long long ago infiltrated.

[pipisitoface]

i find it very interesting that people come on, mock & make fun, while also writing "no offence." people are just so generally miserable, and it seems to be getting worse. i guess even coming on here to mock the chanting and the devotees still exposes them to the mahamantra, which is the point. =)

[bhaktadasa]

I am very happy to see and hear the SAMKIRTAN PART in TIMES SQUARE again. This is the life and soul of Krishna Consciousness.

[dabrownlad]

Amazin Video , Come to Toronto !!!!

[slik64]

So amazing and pleasing to see how The Lords name is so great that it can suddenly effect people, subduing them into such great bliss!!! HARE KRISHNA !!!!

[MrNoahwilliam]

Please keep them chanting. Little do they know how much good they are doing for themselves by chanting the Maha Mantra. God bless the Devotees of NYC. Hare Krishna. Bless you guys...

[MrNoahwilliam]

Please keep them singing. It is great to see people experiencing Krishna's love. You can see how people enjoy chanting the Maha Mantra. You can see their smiles and I am sure they can feel the joy in their hearts. new Yorkers rule.

[teratera2029]

so cool

[e3ovuziotica]

Why don't you guys move and walk

[gothictikidragon]

Gotta love the New Yorkers! Look at the video to the right of "Devotees Chanting Hare Krishna in Seattle", what a difference!!! :)

[jrib2001]

@gothictikidragon I know the New Yorkers are grooving! and singing with New York accents!!! I love NYC Hey it's a free party! 24/7 on the streets.

[bodgownall2222]

no offence you guys but the whole hare krishna thing freaaks me out lol like the weird hair cut and thing yer really weirds me out but i didnt want to offend i dont beleive in any gods

[MrAlexvender]

@bodgownall2222 so, the main thing is you don't beleive in God. this is the main couse of your point of view.

[EmMiNeNcE032]

Its nice to see people devoted to their religion. But the meaning behind the chant is ridiculous. But this chant and the tune in this vid has been stuck in my head since i saw this vid in my world religions class.

[indiagreat2]

@EmMiNeNcE032 whts the meaning?? i dont think its ridiculous..its abt chanting gods name in a tune..nothing bad or harming is it?

[luckyceltic69]

@EmMiNeNcE032 Actually the meaning of this Chant and Mantra are great. It fills a human with joy and happiness... doenst the world need more of this. Think about it buddy!

[RockinitOutinUSA]

such an addicting song

[frankbough1955]

hahaha ...sooooo funny to see westerers doing this...hahahah what are the thinking???

[Caesar88888]

@frankbough1955 they are thinking that Lord Krishna is God.

and that chanting His names is ocean of pleasure

[sanitoshp]

Service of things related to the Lord and service to tulasī, from Skanda Purāṇa: Seeing tulasī destroys all sins. Touching her purifies the body. Bowing to her destroys all sufferings. Sprinkling her with water delivers one from death. Planting her bestows attachment of the mind to Kṛṣṇa. Offering her to Kṛṣṇas lotus feet bestows special liberation in the form of prema. I offer my respects to tulasī.

[evilevanevilevan]

religion is lies, have fun wasting your time AND LIFE

[zielak1911]

@evilevanevilevan is not religion this is sect

[MachoDin]

I see all race but indian,.... wow! :-) I am indian by the way! Om Sai Ram!

[TheNam108]

This is New York City , you can sing and dance today and not get beat up by cops, not like in europe, no wonder every comes here, cause freedom of religion, welcome to america lol

[TristanTheSaint]

@TheNam108 freedom of religion is law in all of the of the european countries... and in most evolved countries, even in Iran. The united states is by no mean an exception.

As for the united state being the champion of freedom: dont be ridiculous, take a look back to the last 10 years.

[mysteryRR]

@TheNam108 oh realy i would like to see a islamic celebration in the same area, ur thinkin too wishfully

[luckyceltic69]

What a great video. favourites for sure. cheers.

[therapist66]

how come it's almost all guys?

[jacobehrlich]

Amazing! While I don't wholly subscribe to ISKCON beliefs, it is beautiful to hear and see such joy and ecstasy come from praising God. As the Rig Veda says "Truth is one, though the sages know it variously."

[james005straut]

it feels so good.. hope i woulld be there.. dancing with the hymn of god is much enjoyable than that in the clubs and all.. hare rama hare krishna!!

[amarwarrior]

that is really awesome dude...thanks for uploading the video...hare krishna..god bless U

[510shyt]

AUM

[danaharibol]

[leduchicar]

[HickysBoy]

[xsanctom]

Hare Krishna are one of the few religions I respect, everything they are about represents goodness, even the most outspoken atheists really can't get angry at them.

Always see them cruising around the city in Auckland, it's great seeing them doing their thing, a lot of random bystanders get into it too, businessmen and all :)

[nottylibrarian4u]

Oh how blissful??? :) ancient civilization in modern sinful times.

[ohaiiamii]

it's nice to see such enthusiasm :]

[lumpfish99]

[LeanaJoH76]

No matter what religion you take up, you're a beautiful person. Whatever makes you have peace, tranquility, and harmony in your life go for it.

"A mantra is mystical energy encased in a sound structure and each mantra contains within its vibrations a certain power. But of all mantras, the maha-mantra (the Hare Krishna mantra) has been prescribed as the easiest and surest way for attaining God Realization in this present age."

George Harrison (1943-2001),

[Anonymous4TheWin]

wow it's sad mainstream religions can't get sentient beings as organized as this, they might actually do something good if they could.

[rosenti]

Aww i wanna be there :(.

[luwuhl]

the 21 of september in argentina is the "students day" and everybody goes to a place called "plaza francia". anyways, the last one, there was a group of hare krishna, and it was great.

[varamekoh]

Hey, you great men, God bless you for the nice chanting.

[linkolna]

[fybercyber]

no matter you are christian, you can also sing krishnas song. because hinduism has no barrier.

[baharroth]

i'm a atheist, i don't belive in a god, but next time i see a group of hare krishna's dancing and singing, i will join in.

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna, Supreme Personality of Godhead said,"They who serve even other Gods with a firm belief, in doing so, involuntary worship me. I am He who partaketh of all worship and i am their reward."

Krishna~ I am the Father of all. (Gita 14.4)

Jesus~ The father is greater than I (John 14:28)

Krishna~ For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me (Gita 6:30)

Jesus~ I and My Father are One. (John 10:30)

[rajivunome]

AM all that is unmanifest and manifest (Gita 9:19)

God said to Moses, I AM that I AM (Exodus 3:14)

Im only just beggining to learn about the hare krishna way and to incorporate some of its practises into my life. Im finding judaism harder and harder to take and hinduism seems to me to be so peacefull and welcoming and more like how i already see the world. Id like to learn more about some of the things i can do at home on my own. does any one have any advice ?

God is the summit of a mountain and all religions paths leading up to Him. All paths will finally meet on top.

There really is no need to feel offended by this video. Jesus is just another name and another story but the essence is the same. Treat every living being with respect.
