“Hare Krishna is really unusal approach to us. See pictures. Their costume, their make up, their behavior. You will not be surprised because you are used to seeing cosplay photos. But in case of Hare krishuna, their behavior is also completely strange in Japanese society. they sing a song with unfamilliar language on the street, and beating the portable drum crazingly ringing while walking, suddenly start to dance in crowded place. And the most odd point is that they are always smiling in spite of staying in Japan ! sorry but it is impossible not to think that they are expensive drug addiction people eventhough it’s maybe not so.

But it is very difficult to explain why they are behavioring so without thinking about it or it must be very special method they have. I really want to know their special method to get high.

and this time, I encounter the moment when non-related non religion Japanese start to devote religion ! see the following picures !”

Check out the photos of Ratha Yatra in Tokyo at the link below. A few familiar faces from my time there in 2000. Madhu-mangal, the temple president (chanting above), and the brahmacari who took me to Shinjuku station to distribute books.
