Hare Krishna People

The Hare Krishna People is a documentary about a religious movement aiming to spread Krishna consciousness around the world.

The video starts by introducing a spiritual master named Prabhupada. Prabhupada was born in 1933 and became a disciple of a bona fide spiritual master. He was then ordered to spread Krishna consciousness to the English-speaking world. In 1965, Prabhupada traveled from India to New York City to fulfill this mission.

The documentary explains that Krishna consciousness is a tradition that has been passed down from spiritual master to disciple for a long time. Prabhupada founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), also known as the Hare Krishna movement, to spread this tradition. ISKCON translates and distributes scriptures and philosophical works such as the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.

The Hare Krishna devotees believe that by following the teachings of Krishna consciousness, people can achieve God consciousness. They chant mantras, including the Hare Krishna mantra, and hold festivals to spread their message.

The documentary also features interviews with devotees who explain why they joined the movement. They say that Krishna consciousness fills a gap in materialistic culture and provides a meaningful purpose in life.

Another important aspect of Hare Krishna life is community. The video shows devotees living and working together in Krishna conscious communities. They believe living a simple life based on nature and cows is key to spiritual development.

The documentary concludes by expressing the hope that the Hare Krishna movement will continue to grow and spread Krishna consciousness around the world.
