“Namahatta Prichay” is a foundational text in the spiritual and organizational framework of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), also known as the Hare Krishna movement. The title translates to “Introduction to the Marketplace of the Holy Name,” signifying its role in establishing and nurturing congregational communities dedicated to the practice of bhakti (devotion) to Lord Krishna.
In this book, readers can expect a detailed exposition of the concept and implementation of “Namahatta,” which refers to a network of congregational groups or communities centered around the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra and the dissemination of spiritual knowledge. “Namahatta Prichay” serves as a manual for both leaders and members of Namahatta groups, offering guidance on how to establish, sustain, and expand these communities for the spiritual upliftment of individuals and society at large.
Overall, “Namahatta Prichay” serves as a comprehensive guide for establishing and nurturing vibrant congregational communities dedicated to the practice of Krishna consciousness, embodying the principles of spiritual fellowship, service, and devotion central to the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON.
