74 Mobile Culture Studies. The Journal 4 2o18 Debora Baldelli | Parading in the city’s public space through an attempt to transform the vision and projection of the spiritual practice as a cultural practice of Hindu tradition in a context that promotes cultural diversity. This aspect resembles the moment of the inception of the Hare Krishna Movement through a dialogue with the coun- terculture movement in the United States of America in the 60s, in which music and collective musical practices played fundamental roles (Baldelli 2017a). Several expressive activities and devotional practices developed by the Hare Krishna Move- ment can be seen as proposals to experience Lisbon, meet to the city‘s changes and meeting the cultural policy of the local authority. The Hare Krishna festivals seem to function as immigrant integration activities, being examples of the adaptability of a spiritual practice to the city and its citizens. The Hare Krishna Movement has increasingly brought the “community” into the city‘s festive space, treating spiritual practice as a public spectacle. The expressive practices presented, especially the Ratha Yatra, demonstrate the interest in the diversification of the activities carried out by the Hare Krishna Movement and the Cultural policy of Lisbon City Hall, anchored in a cosmopolitan and multicultural perspective for the city. In this regard, this article hopes to contribute to future research focusing on how religious practices are moving into the sphere of culture, increasingly integrating in cities’ dynamics (Giumbelli 2014, 2008, Mafra 2011, 2009).
