Among my current projects is a small handbook on kirtana, tentatively called Srila Prabhupada’s Kirtana Standards, developed from a seminar I’ve given. I have a finished draft and am adjusting it according to comments I’ve received.
I’m going to start putting the draft here online, in parts, one after another, so that more devotees can read it and help me improve it. I especially welcome comments—suggestions, criticisms, questions, whatever.
Among other things: If you were personally present with Srila Prabhupada and received or heard instructions from him about kirtana, or were present at an instructive incident, I’m all ears.
I’m also particularly interested in hearing from “second generation” devotees (or third generation)—those born into the Hare Krishna movement or who joined after Srila Prabhupada’s departure. Again, I’m all ears.
Especially welcome: Thoughts or evidence that runs contrary to what’s in the draft or that adds a different perspective or nuance.
The draft has not yet been reviewed for spelling, italics, diacritic marks, and so on. I’ll handle that later. The same goes for formatting—headlines, subheads, and the like. For now, what matters is the content.
You can reach me by the contact form on this site. Or if you have my contact details, feel free to call me, message me, or send me an email.
Thank you very much. And happy chanting!
