Pamphlets on the glories of the Maha Mantra and Krishna prasadam were distributed during the procession. Procession ended at the Radha Krishna Asrama with ectatic kirtan where HG Kripa Sindhu Krishna dasa delivered a short lecture on the glories of the Holy Names of Krishna.
Day 3: World Holy Name Week at Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia.
The Harinam party had a good start at Bukit Mertajam town covering three housing estates in two hours. With a twenty devotee strength the Holy Names were chanted in the Taman Sejahtera, Taman Selamat and Taman Nirvana. The housing estates residents were very respectful to the devotees on Harinam and offered prayer items and fruits to Srila Prabhupada Murti. Bhakta Chris and Gokul Damodara dasa took turns to carry Srila Prabhupada Murti on the full procession.
HG Kripa Sindhu Krishna dasa was so ecstatic that he mentioned having similar Harinam processions three times a year respectively for the North, Central and South of Peninsular Malaysia.
Day 4 - World Holy Name Week at Taiping, Malaysia.
Yesterday about seventy devotees came together at Taiping to celebrate the chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra for the World Holy Name Week 2009. The combination of children carrying colorful flags, youths and adults all well organised in two rows while a few devotees were distributing prasadam and flyers explaining the glories of the Holy Name was a wonderful sight to the many onlookers. Other than the bramacharis all the other devotees were of the Taiping congregation.
The procession began at main town Taiping beside the St. George's school at 6.30PM amidst a beautiful weather. The Harinam party took to all the main streets and returned at about 8.30PM. The Harinam party passed by many signboards highlighting issues such as Stress, Drug Abuse, Vehicle thefts, etc. Lalita Madhava dasa Prabhu was in ecstacy preaching to the city onlookers mostly of Chinese origin. Since it was Ramadan breakfast timemany of our Malay friends happily accepted murukku snack packets. Devotees then proceeded to the Taiping Hare Krishna centre for prasadam. The local devotees prepared many wonderful dishes for the pleasure of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.
On Day 5, around forty devotees took part in the World Holy Name Week celebrations in Sungei Siput on the morning of 5 September 2009. It was very enlivening to have the Harinam party going around the town area especially at this time. The town was crowded everywhere and the holy name benefited all of them. Dry sweets were distributed together with leaflets of the World Holy Name Week. Fifteen new youth boys took part in this glorious chanting and helped us to carry the flags and banners. Kripa Sindhu prabhu was leading the kirtan and singing very sweetly from the beginning till the end. Gokul Prabhu carried Srila Prabhupada's murti all the way and Siva Caitanya Prabhu was snapping all the unforgettable shots during the procession. Also, Dharma Prabhu was present to give more enthusiasm.
We believe the congregational chanting on the streets should be increased as much as possible in order to expand Lord Caitanya's movement. Not only does it give us a lot of realization and inspiration but it also reaches the people who we never approached before or who never heard anything about our movement. The Holy Name never differentiates anyone. It simply benefited whoever watched us or heard the melodious chanting.
The Sungei Siput congeregation would like to thank the brahmachari team for showering their wonderful mercy to all the devotees in Sg. Siput.

It makes me feel so little in front of the Universe but in the same time so part of it. I like to think that this is Krishna portrait.
