Sankirtan, What Is It?

Sankirtan is about participating in spreading Krishna consciousness, simply put. Whether it involves going out into the streets to sing kirtan or distributing literature and knowledge through available media.

"So go on with your organization for distribution of my books through press and other modern media and Krishna will certainly be pleased upon you. We can use everything—television, radio, movies, or whatever there may be—to tell about Krishna."

-- Srila Prabhupada, Letter to Bhagavan -- Bombay 24 November, 1970

"Sankirtana means preaching, so for some time try in other ways to spread our Krishna philosophy anywhere and everywhere, by selling books, as many as possible, by holding kirtana and classes in schools and college—wherever there is preaching, that is Sankirtana."
