Annual Nagar Sankirtan, at UK
Spreading Devotion Through Street Chanting
Nagar Sankirtan, also known as Harinama Sankirtan, is a joyous and vibrant form of spiritual practice that involves chanting the names of God while marching in public places. This ancient tradition originates from the Indian subcontinent and has gained popularity worldwide due to its powerful impact in fostering spiritual unity and a sense of community.
The term “Nagar Sankirtan” is derived from two Sanskrit words, “nagar” meaning town or city, and “sankirtan” meaning collective singing or chanting of sacred Mahamantra. It involves devotees coming together, singing or chanting the holy names of deities or God, often accompanied by musical instruments like drums, cymbals, and harmoniums. The rhythmic and melodious chanting creates an enchanting atmosphere that touches the hearts of both participants and onlookers.
Harinam nagar sankirtan is not confined to any city, it embraces diversity and welcomes people from all walks of life. It serves as a powerful means of connecting with the divine and experiencing a profound sense of inner peace and joy.

Through Nagar Sankirtan, devotees aim to spread love, compassion, and harmony in society through hare krishna mahamantra. The sound vibrations generated during the chanting of the holy names are believed to purify the environment, bringing about positive energy and dispelling negativity. It is also an opportunity for participants to offer their prayers for the delivering of the soul from this mundane miserable world.
