Hare Krishna, these instructions are for sincere devotees. Others will never follow it. They will still do kirtan as it should not be. As we can see in so many kirtans.
We have to educate and train ourselves and other's also.. that is the point here.. not that we say 'others will never follow it' first we have to learn the Right Standards that will inspire and set the correct standards.. my humble opinion..❤🎉
Sincere devotees don't have to follow everything that the two of them said. What is inline with Srila Prabhupada's teaching, we should follow. And if they are out of line we can reject.
Aalap is very essential part of the traditional music ...srila Prabhupada sang many bhajans in slow alap style and also bhakti vinod thakur has given us the gaura arati which is sung in very beautiful alap kiba jayo ....there can be nothing more traditional than gaur arati ... Sripad aindra Prabhu was the perfect example of some one who inspired millions by his pure chanting ... Alaps are very inspiring and they take you to the deep slow meditative mood of focussing on each word of the holy names .... The whole point is that one should present krishna with the most exquisite form of clasical ragas and raginis ... Automatically as one keeps chanting krishna inspires him with more and more deeper nuances in the science of music which comes from the spiritual realm . As far as non devotional spirit is concerned , it does not matter how you sing it a karm misra Bhakta will always have ulterior motives to impress others that has nothing to do with the alankars and techniques of devotional service As our moment evolves devotees will become better at music and better at shastras and better at using technology None of our acharyas preached in RUclips but that is also essential in the modern age .. Hence when lord Chaitanya says there are no hard and fast technical rules for chanting ....we need to take the mukya vritti of this statement and accept it as it is ...the most important thing is to chant as much as possible and without offences ...and without ulterior motives .. techniques and details are not important...osrila Prabhupada would have extensively elucidated it in his books which are law books of ISKCON if he felt that ragas and alaps etc were not needed or needed ...both are simply details and donnot effect the mantra in any way ..

Prabhu Hare Krishna dandavat pranams 🙏 Sorry, but the musical performance, dance performance, show off of clothes and hairstyle can be distracting for some people. If the focus is more on musical performance or something else rather than kirtan itself, it is definitely distracting and it is not kirtan anymore. It's a show - to show off musical skills, hairstyle, clothes etc. If we keep kirtan simple, we can definitely focus on it more. That's my experience and experience of many others.
Yes, HH Sri Krishna Chaitanya Swami Maharaj did Came to Sangli, Maharashtra, and Majaraji's association is really full of Bhakti rasa, He is really full of enthusiasm and energy.. I was felling energetic after looking at his Damodar Lila Role play, And he was running around whole temple like Bal Gopal, It was really Blissful..❤
Its very nice we have started discussing how our Hare Krishna kirtans should be. If there's something you don't agree with, no need to be extremely critical or negative about the whole discussion. From such discussions slowly the right way of kirtan will emerge as devotees get more knowlegeable about how Srila Prabhupad wanted these kirtans.
1) Rock music is good for attracting Gen Z people. But normally Rock tune suppresses Holy name, so our focus should be Holy name in kirtans as we advance in Devotional Service. 2) Some devotees have misunderstood about raag and alaap. Raag and alaap are important but not more than Holy name. And Loknath Maharaj is a pure devotee, he chants Pure Holy name already so if he uses raag and alaap it's not a problem. Problem comes when we do kirtan for musical entertainment only. Please Forgive me if I hurt anyone. Hare Krsna Gauranga
One question to Krishna Caitanya Swami - you did interview Sripad Aindra prabhu on kirtan standards. He explained to you about alaap and alankar. You accepted what Aindra Prabhu was doing in kirtan was right, but why now you are picking on his style of kirtan by criticising alaap and alankar? Devotees who don't know how to use them, shouldn't use them. But of those kirtaniyas who know how to do it, what do you gain by suppressing them.
Singing, lecturing. preaching and extra are for Krishna's enjoyment not for the public or the audience or personal. Even your interview now should be for krishna's pleasure . Why we are talking abt singing only what abt the style of talking? We have a kind of stylish talking just to attract the audience.
Whenever he goes to talk with any acharya he says he is my inspiration when he is with mohan Rupa he says he is my inspiration I am confused who is your inspiration
Every acharya every senior devotees should be our inspiration...it benifits our bhakti only ....what's harm in this ? We should idolize every devotee who is senior to us in bhakti .
Hare Krishna but if a person wants to offer his music sadhna to Krishna then he can show a proper Raga Based aalap and taan Even "SWAMI HARIDAS JI" was taking aalap and taan
@@TheJigyasu and it would be better prabhuji if you can take information about Mangal Aarti that how to sing it Secondly this stylish and modern kirtan is rule of temple this is commitment from some of ISKCON CENTRE
No ,you being Indian is East India company for the nation ...that's why be a devotee and have respect for saints . Plz understand first what iskcon is then make some advice .
Please stop this nitpicking. Is it right for you to comment on Maharajas and Amogh lila prji Gaudiya Vaishnava movement is for preaching. Just see what they have done for preaching KC. And what is your contribution to it And you are nitpicking on the orange color. This is not in line with mood of Srila Prabhupada
@@vkps108 Please try at least using the proper cloth .. Dont be so influenced by Indian culture where you see the mayavad sanyasis wearing this orange clothe .
Fools start to teach gauidya and mayavad ask your self how much you prech in society. Don't teach about offence first You see you are pointing senior devotee .
These videos are disappointing to say the least, such over emphasis on details which we know can be changed or altered, a store house of opinions and criticism and speculation in mood and judgments. It is funny hearing this that all these devotees during kirtans, which are for Krsna, are sitting there passing judgement and speculation of mood and taste in the offering. Purity is a force, but is kirtan propaganda ?
Amogha Lila Prabhu is there criticizing devotees who use Alaps in kirtan, while Sri Krishna Caitanya Swami’s own spiritual master Lokanath Swami happily uses them in every kirtan he does. Why doesn’t Sri Krishna Caitanya Swami interject to defend his guru??
See Lokanath Swami Maharaja is in a perfect stage of Krsna Consciousness so in whatever He does it also becomes perfect but it is not the Case with us we are in a kanistha stage
Actually for pure devotee there are no rules still they follow it for seting example. In that if sometimes they flow out of there spontaneous love for Krishna it should not seen out of rules and regulations
Krishna Caitanya Swami is the one who asked Amogha lila pr. Both forgot that Lokanath Maharaja uses them in his kirtan, and started making fun of this. Probably both should have been careful with the question they ask each other and how they answer it.
Sorry , but prabhuji this is only your jealousy . Loknath swami also sings "RAMO " and takes "ALAAP" AND chaitanya krishn swami maharaj ji is saying 27:15 not spinning them around, while there is a vdo on you tube of amogh lila prabhuji spinning round with another devotee and amogh lila prabhuji is also use RAMO ... Why is this Duality??
For pure devotees there are no rules cause their renunciation is perfect. But why are we mad after chanting Ramo? Why can't say Ram simply and admit the instructions
The interviewers should have included all those western instruments that have been included in kirtans. There's even saxophone , electric guitar in traditional kirtans. Even Krishna Caitanya Swami was using his trumpet for more than a decade in kirtans. Only after sannyasa we don't see him using his trumpet. All these western musical instruments which are born out of mode of passion should be banned in ISKCON. I am surprise they didn't talk about all that is going on in the name of kirtan in the west. Kirtan leaders wearing shorts, some participants wearing bikinis, kirtan leaders with no tilak, no neck beads, - these are the point they should be talking about. Harinam with some dancing matajis like mannequin parade. These are not standards that was set by Srila Prabhupada . Instead they pick on kurtas. At least they are still using kurta, not some t- shirts and pants. How about a podcast on bridge preaching and mantra lounge? These diluted form of preaching that's going on in the form of mantra lounge has influenced even the youths in the east.
Unnecessarily criticizing and creating division! If the respective gentleman is a bathroom singer and he's not a kirtaniya why is he chosen to speak about kirtan standards? Why to criticize anyone as a matter of fact? Don't we have enough work with ourselves. Song describing a feminist theme critical of men who catcall women is stupid? Why? Such an embarrassment for the Hare Krishna movement this man ideas.... just talking, talking, talking like a madman without thinking!

You are right. Kirtan ministry shouldn't suppress the use of alaap and alankar if the kirtaniya knows how to use it.
