Harinam “new dimensions”

Thanks to innovations by Indradyumna Swami and Sri Prahlada dasa, the accordion has been added (sometimes amplified) to moving Harinam parties in some western cities. Also, London harinams, already using amplified accordion, are also using an amplified bass guitar. Unusual drums and percussion instruments other than mrdangas and karatals can be used in a way that preserves the essence of Srila Prabhupada’s and Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mood for chanting the holy name in public. Kudos also to Guna Grahi Swami, Bhakti-tirtha Swami and many others, as their innovations over the years have made chanting of the holy names increasingly attractive for one and all.
