Living in Harmony- Hare Krishna (2013)

by Tauranga Regional Multicultural Council We had a very interesting evening last week run by the Hare Krishna followers from Katikati under a very capable organizer Bela Reid. The evening started earlier then usual and did not finish until midnight with observance of the birthday of Hare Krishna. We had nearly 100 people attending, but most of us went home at about 9. 30pm, though the core of followers stayed on.
The group did an outstanding job in decorating the hall and creating a special atmosphere for the night, which was full of singing, chanting and even dancing when many of us joined in with various degrees of competence, but we all had a great time; there was even a puppet show and poetry. The group provided very tasty food for all participants, even including dessert of sweet macaroons


For those of you who missed the night, here are a few great photos taken by our paparazzi Mirella Veneziano
