Picture a small Midwestern town: cold weather, silent streets, gray skies, and no crowds in sight—this is what many Krishna communities face. In such situations, how can they do sankirtan?  

In Southeast Michigan, The Harmony Collective Team (THC) has discovered a radiant solution. For the past three months, they’ve brought Krishna’s message to psychic and holistic festivals across the Midwest, finding eager souls ready to embrace wisdom. These indoor gatherings have become a beacon for book distribution and heartfelt exchanges.

Unlike bustling downtowns or sunny sidewalks, these festivals thrive regardless of weather or foot traffic. Held indoors, they attract spiritually curious visitors—individuals open to exploring Krishna consciousness.

The THC Team reports an exceptional response, with many attendees accepting books and engaging deeply. Across the Midwest, these events consistently draw the region’s most receptive seekers.

The team’s method for sharing books is both practical and personal:

• Preparation: They stack books in advance, courtesy of Krishna Life.
• Engagement: They ask visitors, “What brought you on your spiritual journey?” This question opens lots of doors.
• Inspiration: They explain how the books connect readers to the Supersoul, offering guidance.

The results are remarkable. Nine out of ten people take a book, touched by the approach. Beyond distribution, The THC Team enhances their outreach with basic astrology readings, drawing further interest. Siddha Hari Das has offered to teach this skill to others. The team also delivers talks at some festivals, captivating listeners with Krishna’s teachings.

Locating these events is simple:

• Search Tools: Google or ChatGPT can uncover local psychic/holistic festivals.
• Major Events: Body Mind Spirit Exhibitions stand out as the largest, justifying their higher cost with strong turnout.

A recent visit to the Milwaukee Psychic Festival showcased their success. The above photos showcase The Harmony Collective Team connecting with attendees, books neatly stacked, and an inviting indoor atmosphere. These festivals serve as fertile ground for reaching “ripe souls”—those poised to embrace Krishna’s message with enthusiasm.

This strategy proves Krishna consciousness can flourish anywhere. In quiet Midwestern towns where traditional sankirtan faces challenges, psychic and holistic festivals offer a dynamic alternative. The THC Team encourages devotees to explore similar events, highlighting their potential for impactful outreach.

Based in Southeast Michigan, the team plans to continue this service across the Midwest, refining their efforts to reach more hearts. To learn more about the ongoing service of The Harmony Collective, please visit their website and follow them on Instagram.
