I came to the conclusion that unless I found myself and became the change I wanted to see in the world - as Gandhi said - I couldn't contribute much, nor would there be anything fulfilling or meaningful in my life. So I went on a spiritual search.

Radhanath SwamiWhen the kirtan is harmonious with so many people, itโs a tumultuous beautiful sound. We canโt hear just one voice during the chorus; or rather we do hear one voice. But that one voice is actually the sound of everyoneโs voice in harmony. Thatโs our offering to God. And why is it so pleasing to the Lord? Because we are all cooperating for a higher purpose. We are all united for the pleasure of the center, for the pleasure of Krishna, in spite of all our differences.
