Via Hare Krishna Recife is a clip from 2010 of the 24 Hour Kirtana led by Amala Kirtan Prabhu in Campina Grande , Brasil. It is serendipity that my spiritual master , Maharaja , has been the ISKCON GBC of South America since 1972. He has an especially strong connection to the Brazilian devotees , many of whom he has known since the 1970s ; and now their children & grandchildren. Bhakti & kirtan are truly ecstatic & joyful , but as this clip illustrates , the Brazilians make it even more so , " tudo joia, beleza " . Hari Hari !
"The depth of the practice can't be seen in asana. Somebody that can do a backbend and grab onto their ankles isn't going to be further ahead in their practice than somebody who has trouble forward bending or is stiff. That doesn't make a difference- that's not what the practice is about."
