I went to the Notting Hill Carnival on the 26th August on a Sunday. I had known the dangers of going there as one Brahmacari, who was also going there to sing & dance (for Krishna), had told me of sighting "topless dancers" at the previous year! I had started to wonder whether it was even worth going or not as you could easily fall down and go looking at other things *cough* S****ep **e**ha [Fill in the stars! Had to change it due to a - urm - complaint! LOL] *cough*!
You know, I did get a glance of some of the dancers (these were wearing some clothes) and they all looked bored and no life in them. Not a single trace of ecstacy. Just watch the video below of our Devotees dancing and singing away to see where the real ecstacy was!
Regardless of what I had thought and heard, I started to see several advanced devotees participating in this adventure. Basically, all the devotees were going there to distribute books, give out some lovely Transcendental sweets and sing the Holy Names to purify the people and it worked wonders! Lots of people were surrounding us as we sang away the Holy Names and everyone who took our sweets loved them. Book distribution went well, though I have some way to go to...
