The forest where even animals sing and dance!

Deeply absorbed in ecstatic love of God, Caitanya Mahaprabhu wandered through the Jarikhanda forest. A life-size tiger was lying on the path and Mahaprabhu touched its head with His lotus foot. The tiger jumped up and loudly started chanting the holy name of Krsna. Then all the forest animals began to dance, and the deer and tigers embraced one another.

Jarikhanda stands for transformation, for change in the world, for empowerment beyond limits by the Lord’s mercy. These days we live in city jungles and people have become like prey and predator. May all chant and dance and embrace one another. May all the world unite in kirtan!
