All Glories to Sri Sri Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari
Harinam at The Golden Road

On a shady side street in downtown Santa Cruz, there is a bright little place called The Golden Road. Inside, there are happy people chanting Hare Krishna and eating prasadam.
|
|
Upon entering, one first sees books about Krishna Consciousness, pictures of Krishna, and invitations to the preaching programs.
|
His Divine Grace, always present and always illuminating the entrance.
|
Every Friday night Sripad Janardan Maharaj arrives at the center to preach, answer questions, and sing bhajans.
|
Several guests and devotees listen to the lecture and help with prasadam distribution.

|
The sankirtan party gathers and walks down Pacific Avenue, the main downtown street.
|
A few devotees grab books to distribute, such as Ocean of Nectar, Inner Fulfillment, and Original Source.
|
As we chant, we get different types of responses from people.
|
Some are attracted to the Holy Name and join us, while others run away.
|
Either way, we continue to march on...
|
...and our enthusiasm never ends. Pundarik Prabhu from Mexico hands out invitations until they are all gone.
|
More devotees join on a large street corner.
|
Harinam Sankirtan ki jaya!
