In this difficult time when scores of people are dying\ndaily because of Coronavirus all over the world, Iskcon Chowpatty has come up\nwith a novel idea of fighting this disease by invoking the mercy of the Lord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To invoke auspiciousness saints and sages have always\nrecommended that we should perform yajna.  And in this age of Kali Yuga scriptures\nrecommend sankirtan yajna i.e. congregational chanting of the holy names of the\nLord like the Hare Krishna Mahamantra \u2013 Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna\nKrishna Hare Hare\/Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more we chant the names of the Lord, we create\nmore auspiciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost everyone agree that we are suffering from this\npandemic because we the human beings have acted against the laws of nature. Our\ncurrent suffering is because of the sins committed by mankind against other\nliving entities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best way to remove the sins from the world is\nby chanting the names of the Lord. If people from all over the world come\ntogether to call the names of the Lord, then soon the suffering caused by Coronavirus\nwill end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iskcon Chowpatty is inviting everyone to participate in this japa yajna. The goal is to chant 1 crore Holy Names of the Lord from April 1st – April 15th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One has to just invest 15 min daily in this campaign\nfrom 7:30 am \u2013 7:45 am IST. The entire country is under lockdown. All\neducational institutions are closed, offices are closed. If people are working,\nthen they are working only from their homes so taking out 15 minutes daily is\nnot a very difficult thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes around 7 minutes to complete one round of\nchanting which consists of 108 beads. So in 15 minutes one can complete two\nrounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra on the beads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 minutes is not mandatory. One can spend even 10 min\nor even 5 min for chanting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collective japa \u2013 yajna will start everyday from\n7:30 am \u2013 7:45 am IST or (GMT + 5.30).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just people from India but people from all over\nthe world can participate in this yajna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
