ISKCON Devotees Viral Video: After a video went viral showing a British YouTuber eating KFC chicken inside the purely vegetarian Govinda restaurant run by ISKCON, social media erupted in anger. The man ignored warnings and went ahead with his prank, which many saw as deeply disrespectful to the faith and space. But instead of reacting with anger or confrontation, ISKCON followers responded in a powerful and peaceful way. They stood outside a nearby KFC outlet in London and began chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, turning the moment into one of calm spiritual protest.

Their peaceful chants weren’t just a protest; they were an open invitation to the KFC staff and the public to join in and experience spiritual harmony. The YouTuber later realised his mistake and issued a public apology for hurting religious sentiments.

“If I had known that the restaurant was with the temple, I would have never filmed that prank and left. I stepped over the line and began to eat chicken in a vegan restaurant, which was associated with the Hindu community. My actions were ill-timed and irresponsible.

"What a wonderful way to protest. Though KFC directly didnt do it, an insane customer did. But the message delivered," a user wrote. "Hare Kṛṣṇa, spreading vibes higher than their secret recipe," a second user added. "Great way to engage negative people and influence positively," added a third user.
