I was invited to take part in the Sankirtan on the Saturday 6th February, but I wasn’t sure as to whether I should go as I had too much coursework to complete.
It was absolutely freezing and I was worried I didn’t wear enough pairs of socks but once the kirtan had started and by the time we all started busting a move or two, I was overtaken by the immense joy of serving our Lord Krishna. Even though, it was a challenge to actually get someone to stop on the streets so that we can talk about our beliefs and how Krishna consciousness can benefit them, there were many people that had come up to us and shown interest in what we had to say.
After a couple of hours of kirtan, we began dancing the streets of Ealing filling every passerby with the beautiful words of Krishna. We also had men at the fruit and veg stall join in by hitting a few pots and pans together, and a few drummers from the local church duet with us.
The day was filled with lots of laughter, and every single moment was an absolute joy. Also, by the time I had gotten home I was in a much better mood and had managed to finish off my coursework that very same day.
