Welcome to the Hare Krishna Video Sharing Community!

In India there are sacred places where yogis go to meditate in solitude, as prescribed in Bhagavad Gita. Traditionally, yoga cannot be executed in a public place, but insofar as kirtan--mantra-yoga, or the yoga of chanting the Hare Krishna mantra:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare

is concerned, the more people present the better. When Lord Caitanya was performing kirtan in India some five hundred years ago, He organized in each group sixteen people to lead the chanting, and thousands of people chanted Hare Krishna with them. This participation in kirtan, in the public chanting of the names and glories of God, Krishna, is very possible and is actually easy in this age; but as far as the meditational process of yoga is concerned, that is very difficult. It is specifically stated in Bhagavad Gita that to perform meditational yoga one should go to a secluded and holy place. In other words, it is necessary to leave home. In this age of overpopulation it is not always possible to find a secluded place, but this is not necessary in bhakti-yoga.

In the bhakti-yoga system there are nine different processes: hearing, chanting, remembering, serving, worshipping the Deity in the Temple, praying, carrying out orders, serving Krishna as a friend and sacrificing for Krishna. Out of these nine process of bhakti-yoga, hearing and chanting are considered the most important. At a public kirtan one person can chant:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare

while a group listens, and at the end of the mantra, the group can respond, and in this way there is a reciprocation of hearing and chanting. This can easily be performed in one's home, with a small group of friends or with many people in a large public place. One may attempt to practice meditational yoga in a large city or in a society, but one must understand that this is one's own concoction and is not the method recommended in Bhagavad Gita.

The whole process of the yoga system is to purify oneself. And what is this purification? Purification ensues upon the realization of one's actual identity. Purification ensues upon the realization of one's actual identity. Purification is realizing that "I am pure spirit soul--I am not this matter." Due to material contact we are identifying ourselves with matter and, and we are thinking, "I am this body." But in order to perform real yoga one must realize his constitutional position as being distinct from matter. The purpose of seeking out a secluded place to perform the meditational process of yoga is to come to this understanding. It is not possible to come to this understanding if one executes this process improperly. In any case this is the consideration of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu who is Krishna Himself appearing as an avatar five hundred years ago in West Bengal, India. Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says:

"In this age of quarrel and disagreement [Kali-yuga], there is no other way of spiritual realization but this chanting of the names of Hare Krishna. There is no other way, there is no other way, there is no other way."
