Biography - Jumping, yelling, even crying and shouting

The kirtana continued and the ballroom looked like a human field of wheat blowing in the wind, with people swaying to the sound of the mahamantra. The chanting continued for over an hour and finally everyone was jumping and yelling, even crying and shouting. Someone placed a microphone before Bhaktivedanta Swami who was perspiring and his voice resounded over the powerful sound system. Suddenly it ended and the Swami's voice rang out, offering obeisance to his spiritual master.
