Hare Krishna Study

Hi!

I'm so excited for sunday! Me and a group of other students have been given the assignment to study one particular group in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. After discussing different types of groups we've decided to go for the Hare Krishna movement in Rotterdam, where they are well known and easily recognised.
I had taken the responsibility to make contact with them and asked if it would be possible for me and my group to do some interviews and be present during certain rituals etc.
Yesterday I had an email from them saying that we are invited to one of their meetings on coming sunday. where they will be singing/chanting and dancing ang giving lectures about the bhagavad gita which is the holy book of the Hindus.

The next couple of weeks my group and I will be interviewing some members and learn as much as possible about this religion who some people call a religious cult. I cannot decide on that before I have experienced a meeting for myself and talked to these people. I believe in the teaching of the Buddha and I have thought about many of his teachings and still do. I do not blindly believe in what is said. so I am curious to know what made them join the hare krishna and what kind of impact it has had on their lifes.

I you are curious about the hare krishna ( and other religions) and want to learn more about them. I suggest you keep an eye on my blog, because I will be writing about them regularly.

I'll be back on sunday!
