Playing the mridanga is a very important skill for use in the sankirtana movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is often seen dancing in a kirtana accompanied by mridanga players. Very soon after Srila Prabhupada arrived in America he sent lor mridangas from India. Even though the first American mridangam players were not very expert in comparison with many Bengali players, srila Prabhupada still praised their playing and encouraged them. He also personally gave mridangam lessons to the early devotees.

Now, by the grace of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Sankirtana movement has spread all over the world. Hari-Nama-Sankeertana is heard in all of the major cities on the surface of the globe. Daily in temples throughout the world, regular kirtans, drat is and bhajans arc going on. It is obvious that Lord Caitanya’s movement needs many competent mridangam players.
