On Sunday, twelfth of June we participated in the The Walk for Harmony, an initiative launched by Hon. John Brumby, the Victorian Premier, to promote multiculturalism in Victoria. Its aim was to show support for the Indian student community who have been subject to attacks and robbery over the last few months in Melbourne. Since the Hare Krishna temple is closely involved with many of the Indian students in Melbourne, it was considered most appropriate for us to join in the march against racism and violence towards that community. We danced our way down Swanston St via La Trobe to Federation Square where the devotees mingled with the crowd gathered to hear the guest speakers' calls for unity in diversity. We called it a day at around 3pm after cheering Mr. Brumby's Multiculturalism, Peace and Tolerance declaration. Here's the slideshow.
