Hare Krishna
For my first site visit I attended the Hare Krishna temple located on 3220 Virginia Street in Coconut Grove I chose to attend a Hare Krishna service as my first visit because I would always see the Hare Krishna devotees dancing and singing along the streets of Coconut Grove, wearing a robe and carrying instruments and could not help but think that they were somewhat weird. ... Before attending the Hare Krishna service, I gathered some background information so I could get a grasp of it. Hare Krishna’s are part of a religious movement that was brought to the West in 1966 by a man named A. ... Hare Krishna is a monotheistic religion that believes in only on Supreme Being known a Krishna, which means “the all attractive one.” Although they believe in just one God, the devotees believe Krishna has many different names and forms. Unlike Hindus the Hare Krishna’s do not worship Shiva and Vishnu as their Supreme Being. They believe these Gods come from the Supreme Being known as Krishna and they are known as demi-gods. The Hare Krishna’s have devoted their entire lives to worshipping Krishna, which can also be known as deity worship.
