I write this beacuse I'm very concern with standarts which Aindra Prabhu introduced regarding 24 hour kirtan Mandali. He was very strict and he was very disturbed when someone was breaknig Akhanda Nama Kirtan. Especieally after His departure I saw SO MANY TIMES neglligance from the crew members about everything namely: not coming on time, talking during kirtan, talking on the phone during kirtan, not chanting maha-mantra when is time for them to chant and so on. I don't know why persons who are not entusiastic in chanting Hare Krishna Maha Mantra should use 24 hour kirtan facility? Only those persons who are knowing basic standarts should be present in the Asrama, not some robots who are staying there to have some facility for eating and sleeping. Aindra Prabhu wanted persons with missionary spirit and he was telling me personally about kirtan standarts. The problem is that new devotees dosen't want to understand kirtan rules. From their point of view I understand that doing 6 hours a day of chanting is taking so much energy, therefore everyone who wants to join Kirtan Party should understand from very begginnig that this is not joke and you need to be ready to do Night Shift and so many time you need to sacrifice, push youfself forward and do this seva for the pleasure of Aindra Prabhu, your Guru Maharaja ans Srila Prabhupada.
I have great hope that devotees who are on the kirtan party will understand this, that for Aindra Prabhu there was no excuse if you was doing nonsense. This much for now. I have so much more to say and more is coming.
Radhe! Radhe!

I remember we were doing night shift kirtan, 1 - 430 am, and we were moaning like lifeless junkies . So, around 4 o'clock, all of a sudden a strong, loud voice of Aindra Prabhu woke us up. He came to us and with a very clear and strong voice sung the tune that we were "singing". He was so concerned about the quality and purity of the kirtan. I understood that this was his idea, to do suddha nama sankirtana that will influence whole Universe. All glories to Aindra Prabhu!

Looks like, Kedaranatha Prabhu we will be in two, discussing something which was essential in the life of Sripad Aindra Prabhu. I hope that this is just beginning and after some time many devotees will try influence Our Supreme H.O.D., who is now "in charge" of this department.
Now is Holi Season and many people gather to chant Hare Krishna. We will see how many people will come and chant with us in May. Ha, ha, ha. This is the price you need to pay to stay here.
