In the forbidden land of Beijing, China, we experienced their ancient culture and the influence of the rules of this country upon its citizens, although we found it a prosperous country with happy people. Without Facebook, Google and YouTube the Chinese people experienced a mix of solitude and at same time protection of their personal relationships. The city of Beijing is beautiful and the people are interested in spiritual life, mantra and yoga. We went to the Great Wall of China and the city of 延庆Yanqing for a Holy Name retreat and Sankirtan on the streets meanwhile in Beijing we had house programs and Temple programs.
Our center in Beijing is very large with amazing Chinese vegetarian food offered to Kṛṣṇa (prasada). The people there really know how to cook roots, leafs, vegetables and yummy noodles!
In the Kirtan everybody was very enthusiastic, concentrated with smiles on their faces. You can see in our pictures and videos the wonderful time we had there! Looking forward to going back.
