Harinam in Croatia
By Bh. Stipica

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

In Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, Saturday (2002/03/09) was not only Ekadasi day but it was definitely the day of the Holy Name. On a nice sunny day, more than eighty devotees gathered, led by His Holiness Sacinandana Swami, to take part in a big (probably the biggest ever) walking Harinam through the streets and main square of Zagreb. The procession was also carrying Gaura Nitai Deities. There was nice media coverage of this (unusual) happening. Harinam finished after more than three hours of chanting in ecstasy.

In the evening of the same day, there was a big (five-hour-long) Nama Yajna, also led by His Holiness Sacinandana Swami, which gathered around 200 devotees.
