Srila Prabhupada's Instructions on Kirtan ft. HG Srutakirti Prabhu | Unfiltered Podcast S1 Ep.1

[@stephenknapp108]

From Chintamani dasi: Srila Prabhupada once stopped the kirtan to tell me not to hit the gongs so loud, and then we continued the kirtan. I was so embarrassed! It was June, 1969 in New Vrindavana. There were 2 gongs hanging from the ceiling. He was present for every morning aratika for around a month. We always had harmonium, kartals and mrdanga. There were only around 10 devotees. It was so sweet. Chintamani dasi. Also, why do so many kirtan leaders now sing Hare Kri-sha-na when Krishna is 2 syllables? Are we now the Hare Kri-sha-na movement?

[@Tswaraj]

Thank you for sharing mataji.

HG Sruta Kirti is always my favorite story teller. He's funny and sincere and just follows his Divine Grace 🙏🏻📿

[@Sweden2023]

THANK YOU - for years, I`ve been listening to Iskcon kirtans from many places. For some reason, Mayapur kirtans are sometimes so loud, leadsinger is screaming and shouting, devotees banging and smashing the instruments. I hope it will change one day! Thank you! Hare Krishna!

[@mavishenator123]

[@mantratodham]

Hare Krishna! its really Very good. We are so fortunate to hear this kind of Podcast. Its really giving us Kirtan Nectar

[@nevilmoncher925]

Once in Hyderabad a sanyasi was getting into using the sarod, harmonium etc into the kirtan. Prabhupada then told us to use only mrudanga and kartals saying we were prone to enjoy the music rather the serving to please the Lord. It is a yagna not for our sense gratification, name and fame. But i guess offensive kirtan is still better than no kirtan. Haribol!

[@sparsh108dhir]

Offensive Kirtan is better than no kirtan till a limit.

[@dharanidhara6648]

Thanks Swami keep it up love from Dharani UK old friend from the Manor YS

Thank you so much please accept my most humble obeisances 🙇🏻‍♀️✨

[@mayanksaini11]

Jai Srila Prabhupada ❤

[@sylviedinunzio8397]

Yes, you are completely right, the important point is to attract Krishna. And the mood of the kirtaniyas and the other devotees is the first point. But, please consider, as Krishna is always Krishna, but a nice devotional way to dress the deities, or cooking with devotion a nice healthy prasada can attract people to Krishna Consciousness, if people are attracted to stay in kirtan more time, with more feeling by having devotional kirtans that are also musically beautiful, it will please Krishna even more. This is the service of music people in our movement. Like artists have so many services, or cooks have service. To do nice musical kirtans for Krishna's pleasure and preaching scope is the musician and singing people service. Everyone should chant Hare Krishna, but it is surely their service. And it is nice that they are doing it at their best capacity. People will want to stay more in the kirtan. Obviously everyone had to do it for Krishna's pleasure. Krishna is surely not limited to one musical style. And regarding Srila Prabhupada stressing shaved hair, he didn't asked George Harrison or outside working grihasthas to shave hair. He stressed that in their own position, they preach Krishna's glories. Now young managers in the world are almost always with short nicely kept beard and hair, so it is socially acceptable that they look that way. Not like in Caitanya's or hippy time. So from their position they are often doing a very very nice preaching job that Srila Prabhupada is surely appreciating and that we should appreciate too, as loving parents or big brothers and sisters. But, yes, always to please Krishna. And many are doing an amazing preaching job actually! 🥰 ❤ Ys, Sri Lalita dasi

[@sudevivrindadevidasi928]

[@ekanshgangwar6079]

Cantt waitttt

[@sylviedinunzio8397]

...one more point...yes, mridangas and karatals etc should not be too loud... Maha mantra is the most important sound to be heard for sure! 🥰 🙏

[@amomtomba3730]

Hare Krishna, thankyou for such a valuable instructions and information

[@gauranga1008]

Thank you.

[@radhikaschwartz3499]

Radhe Radhe

[@AnkurSethi108]

Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu did kirtan with mridanga and karatala and that is perfection. Other things are attempting to improve on that, I don't think the harmonium improves on the perfection that is mridanga and karatala.

Stoka Krsna Gopa Prabhu sounds like he’s got preconceived prejudices about the youth - who are you to judge if they’re attracted to Krishna’s holy names or something else?

[@nevilmoncher925]

Does Shruti Kirti go along with side lining of Shrila Prabhupada as Diksha Guru by unqualified persons as diksha gurus

[@CHAKAT-co9lp]

Everything is an offense, better to stay at home

[@modern.monkE99]

Yes home is peaceful.

[@gordansojat]

😂😂😂😂

[@padmavatisutadas]

Jayadvaita !? Really !? Person who changed Prabhupada's books will tell you how Prabhupada wanted kirtan be ?! you gotta be kidding?!

[@1o1kaushal]

What's happened

[@mightyshadow0447]

You fool, the editor's job is to rectify and cross check , it's called professionalism and HH Jayadvait Swami Maharaj did the most valuable service to Srila Prabhupada which continues to this day.. so shut your filthy mouth and stop barking

[@JohnTurner-o7z]

Jayadvaita swami put together the instructions and guidance given by Prabhupada to his disciples on kirtan. This is not his opinion.

[@chinusingh6890]

whatever you people tell about it, I would tell that you are in wrong path. Because Krishna was never a historical person as God's incarnation in the world. whatever you read is only myths written by sages and rishis. Being Indian I am sorry for you all that are all in a wrong path

[@uttamathemonk]

And what do you know? Nothing.

[@-SACR3D-]

What a funny comment. Lol

[@modern.monkE99]

Thanks for choosing a life that is good for your growth ❤

[@hi.jonathan3987]

🌚Prabhupada?~"Can someone say they are Your Disciple if they are not following ALL Your Instructions ?" Prabhupada replies ~ "FALSE PROPAGANDA." Prabhupāda also instructs in this Honolulu HI May 3,1976 room conversation ~ If you simply follow PRABHUPADA PRESCRIBED ISKCON SADHANA AS IT IS then your actions are non-different from KRISHNA. BUT if you change anything your actions become ordinary.
