Dear Friends

Holy Name Week 17-23 September

Fortunate People

This year, the ISKCON Kirtan Ministry headed by His Holiness Lokanath Swami has partnered with Fortunate People with the idea to make others fortunate through the chanting of the holy names. It’s simple! Just send a video of you chanting the maha-mantra for Love & Peace via WhatsApp +91 81268 68100.
Once you offer your own chant, it’s time to make others fortunate! Reach out to at least one person amongst your family, friends, or associates who don’t usually chant and ask them to offer their maha-mantra chant for Love & Peace as well.

Home Kirtan Videos

You are invited to submit a kirtan! Record a 15min – 30min kirtan at home with your family and email your video to whnf2020kirtan@gmail.com by Friday 11 September. Your kirtan will be played on Facebook South-Africa-WHN-Festival-2020 between the 17th and 23rd of September.
