First Experience

Hello!

Yesterday I experienced a 'satsang' first hand. and with experienced I really mean experienced.
The meeting began at 2pm and lasted till 5pm. it started with some chanting and singing. around 3pm one of the members i had email contact with gave a lecture about the bhagavad gita and why he joined the hare krishna. which was 
quite interesting. He first practiced Tibetan Buddhism, but found it to be too negative and so he joined the hare krishna's. I must say that we left the meeting with a big smile on our faces.

After the lecture we started dancing, for them it was letting your self go and just have fun. for us it was the same. a woman pulled me and my group to the dancefloor so we jumped along with them.

I really had a good time and i definately have another opinion or view on hare krishna's.
now that i have seen it for myself i don't think that they are a cult. They have the same holy book as the Hindu's and I believe that they share man of their rituals. So In my eyes they are a religion.
But with that I have to say that is is the first time that i've been there. so i have to see more to really come to a conclusion.
