Allen Ginsberg had a personal connection with Srila Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and Food for All, a charitable organization. Ginsberg often credited Srila Prabhupada for spreading Krishna Consciousness in the Western world through the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra, which he incorporated into his poetry readings accompanied by harmonium and cymbals.
Star-Studded Event Honors Allen Ginsberg and Launches Album
The live music event attracted hundreds of poets, artists, and Allen Ginsberg fans from around the world. It also served as the launch for the album and book titled "Iron Horse," a collaboration between Youth and Allen Ginsberg.
During the evening event, Parasuram Das, the Director of Food for All, led an invocation, shared the Maha Mantra, and performed alongside other devotees. The event created a unique atmosphere where devotees and fans could come together to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need.
Supporting Food for All's Prasadam Distribution Efforts
The proceeds from the event will contribute to Food for All's prasadam distribution efforts. Food for All is a charitable organization dedicated to providing warm and nutritious meals to those in need, both in London and globally.
With 22% of the UK population living below the poverty line, Food for All's service is crucial in addressing food insecurity. They also extend their aid to areas affected by disasters, with ongoing projects in Ukraine, Turkey, and Syria.
