AUSTERITIES AND MERCY


Thank God the fire of Lord Chaitanya's sankirtan is being fanned again in the person of Gauraharidas Avadhuta, a good son.
Life in the ISKCON temples in the early 70's was very, very different from what we see now. It was quite bizarre to say the least.
Kirtans meant dancing and jumping in the air and not really knowing if you would ever land. Shouting the Holy Names so loud you would lose your voice.
The only reason anyone performed austerities was because they would do anything to get the Mercy. Now they do austerities to avoid the Mercy.
Funny how that happens.
