Gurgaon police turn to harinam kirtan for stress relief: Internet reacts to 'law and order, bhagwan bharose' approach

A video showing Gurgaon police officers, including senior officials, participating in a 'Harinam Kirtan' session has gained widespread attention online. In the footage, officers are seen clapping along with members of ISKCON Gurugram during the session held inside the Gurgaon Commissioner’s office.

The kirtan session was a part of a stress management program conducted by ISKCON Gurugram on Police Day. The initiative aimed to help officers manage the pressures of their job. Aradhya Gaura Prabhu led the session, creating a calming atmosphere intended to provide spiritual upliftment. According to ISKCON, the program received positive feedback from senior officials, including the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Police, who expressed their gratitude.



Online reactions to the video have been mixed. Some users praised the initiative for creatively addressing police stress. One user commented, “I see nothing wrong with this; they're performing Harinam Kirtan, which is truly soothing to hear. ISKCON contributes immensely to society by spreading the wisdom of ancient scriptures and uplifting us through Harinam. This inspires us to do more good for the community, unlike the empty influence of vulgar film songs. #Iskcon”

However, others questioned the practicality of kirtan as a stress management tool for law enforcement. One user asked, “What if you dial 100 for an emergency and the police are busy with Harinam Kirtan? Will it be soothing to hear?” This concern was echoed by others who expressed skepticism, using comments like “Way to go” and “What a fall.”
