Kirtanananda Temple

 

While I was on a japa walk a couple of evenings ago, I stopped by the building which was purchased by disciples of Kirtanananda, who call themselves the "League of Devotees". It's a six story building at 25 1st Ave., in the same block as Prabhupada's original temple at 26 2nd Ave. They have three very nice, newly finished efficiency apartments available, only to devotees, for $1500 to $2000/mo. They say that they could easily get $3000/mo. by renting to karmis. The apartments are going to be ready for occupancy in about three weeks. If you have any questions, you can call them at (212)473-0370.
