If 10,000 suns were to rise simultaneously in your heart, I reckon it might sound something like this:

Janardan Kewin - Hare Krishna Maha Mantra by go-run-ga

These recordings are from the 12 hour Kirtan hosted by ISKCON New Govardhana, Australia on the 25th of July 2010, organized by Krishapada Dasa and Sitapati Dasa from Kirtana Australia kirtanaustralia.com. Recordings by Ekendra Dasa (go-run-ga productions).

Check out the Go-run-ga Productions Facebook page where more kirtans from the event will be made available as they are edited.

To make the event more 'family friendly', the kirtan concert on the 24th of July will now start at 3pm instead of 5pm as previously advertised. Then Sunday there will be kirtan all day starting at 9:00am in the temple before, including and after the Sunday Feast. We hope you can make it.

Note : On Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th prasadam will be available to purchase from the prasadam hall shop. For Sunday this will replace the normal 'feast' part of the Sunday Feast program.

This Thursday the 22nd of July at 4:30pm, ISKCON New Govardhana will host a memorial service for His Grace Aindra Prabhu who passed away recently in Vrindavana, India.

Program: - bhajans - readings & remembrances - pushpangali - Gaura Arati - prasadam

Aindra Prabhu was a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and was in charge of the Twenty four-hour kirtan at ISKCON Krishna Balaram Mandir as ordained by Srila Prabhupada. His sincere devotion and commitment generated pure spiritual atmosphere in the temple and strengthened perfect devotion in the minds of all visitors of this holy abode of Lord.

H.G. Aindra Prabhu received Harinama-diksha in 1973 from A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in Washington D.C. For many years he served as a puiari at the temple and regularly engaged in harinama-sankirtana and book distribution. After several visits to Vrindavan Dhama, he was inspired to revitalise the 24 hour kirtana which was originally started in 1975 at the Krishna Balaram Mandir. In 1986, Aindra Prabhu arrived at Vrindavan to live here permanently and since then he coordinated and led the 24 hour kirtana and his wonderful devotional kirtana records spread and far and wide the ethos of joy in the hearts of many devotees.
