Very clean and hygienic Respectfull place

Was invited by a friend to experience the World of the "Happy Clappy" Hare Krishna's in Dnipro. I spent an hour talking to the monk as he explained the basis of the religion and then I watched as they clapped and chanted their way through a ceremony. It wasnt as terrible as I expected, I actually enjoyed it. The ceremony was very tribal, relaxing and enjoyable to watch although it did go on for a bit and I was keen to escape at the end. Essentially they overload the senses with smells, unison chanting and spinning. Now if you chant for 30 minutes it goes without saying you will get yourself into a state of euphoria, in the same way as taking several deep breaths in a row before free diving. (Similar to the 3 hours of chanting Sigh Heil before Hitler walked on stage at the Nurenburg ralleys, he would then appear, at which point the audience were overcome with emotion and believed they were in the presence of a living God... Or the Whirling Dervishes that spin themselves until they get high and can communicate with their God). Personally I stood and watched and clapped a bit. I refused to join in with the dancing etc standing and watching instead - not really my cup of tea. That said, the actual underlying theology is positive and can't really be faulted treat others as you wish to be treated type deal. Do good for others, God is first, and look after youself. Meditation is a positive influence on anyone's life. It is important to take a breather from the stresses and strains of everyday life, and it genuinely seemed to make everyone very happy. It was a pleasant experience. I would prefer it on LSD, but alas those days are long gone. If you are searching for answers to life's big questions it is possible you may find them here, or at the very least a support network. Why not try it, if you do not find what you are looking for, at least you will experience something new!

Good
