CC adi 17.21
harer nāma harer nāma
harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva
nāsty eva gatir anyathā
" 'In this Age of Kali there is no other means, no other means, no other means for self-realization than chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name of Lord Hari.'
SB 2.1.11
etan nirvidyamananam
icchatam akuto-bhayam
yoginam nrpa nirnitam
harer namanukirtanam
etat—it is; nirvidyamananam—of those who are completely free from all material desires; icchatam—of those who are desirous of all sorts of material enjoyment; akutah-bhayam—free from all doubts and fear; yoginam—of all who are self-satisfied; nrpa—O King; nirnitam—decided truth; hareh—of the Lord, Sri Krsna; nama—holy name; anu—after someone, always; kirtanam—chanting.
O King, constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord after the ways of the great authorities is the doubtless and fearless way of success for all, including those who are free from all material desires, those who are desirous of all material enjoyment, and also those who are self-satisfied by dint of transcendental knowledge.

Subject: Can you encourage all devotees to join the 3 day kirtan festival this weekend?
To: kumarpk108@gmail.com
Dear Karunanidhi Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada, I was wondering if you could let everyone about this weekend's
"NOTHING BUT THE HOLY NAME" 3 day kirtan festival?
Day 1: Sat June 9th - 12 HR KIRTAN @Temple 10am -10pm
Day 2: Sun June 10th - Maha-Harinama in the city 12pm - 2pm 6HR Kirtan 4pm - 10pm
Day 3: Mon June 11th (Queen's bday) - 12 HR KIRTAN @ Temple 10am - 10pm
If you could encourage everyone to come on Monday because there's no work or programs or even Crossways service. So it'll be really nice if
all the devotees were all together to chant and dance.
Thank you Prabhu

your servant
