On December 18th, 2011, the Sunday School performed a musical entitled 'The Story of King Chitraketu'.

The story is from the Srimad-Bhagavatam (Canto 6, Chapters 14 & 15).

Here is the presentation, in two parts:

Every Saturday afternoon

We perform Harinama Sankirtana - congregational chanting of the Holy Names of God in public - in the streets of Montreal. Please join us!

For Spiritual Awakening

"Our basic mission is to propagate the Sankirtana Movement (chanting of the Holy Names of God) all around the world as was recommended by the incarnation of the Lord, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. People in this age are reluctant very much to understand about God consciousness on account of their unfortunate condition of life. They are working hard day and night simply for sense gratification. But this transcendental vibration of Sankirtana will knock at the door of their hearts for spiritual awakening. Therefore, they should be given the chance for this opportunity."
    
-A letter, dated October 1st 1969, by Srila Prabhupada -the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.

Weekly Quote:

kulina-grami purvavat kaila nivedana prabhu,
  ajna kara, — amara kartavya sadhana
prabhu kahe, — "vaisnava-seva, nama-sankirtana
  dui kara, sighra pabe sri-krsna-carana
tenho kahe, — "ke vaisnnava, ki tanra laksana?
  tabe hasi' kahe prabhu jani' tanra mana
krsna-nama nirantara yanhara vadane
  sei vaisnava-srestha, bhaja tanhara carane

As in the previous year, one of the inhabitants of Kulina-grama submitted a petition to the Lord, saying, "My Lord, kindly tell me what my duty is and how I should execute it."
The Lord replied, "You should engage yourself in the service of the servants of Krsna and always chant the holy name of Krsna. If you do these two things, you will very soon attain shelter at Krsna's lotus feet."
The inhabitant of Kulina-grama said, "Please let me know who is actually a Vaisnava and what his symptoms are." Understanding his mind, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu smiled and gave the following reply.
A person who is always chanting the holy name of the Lord is to be considered a first-class Vaisnnava, and your duty is to serve his lotus feet.
