Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Brazil: Rock Star Welcomes Devotees By Giridhari Das Posted September 27, 2003 All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Dear Devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. We had a nice program here in Brasília, Brazil, and I thought I'd tell you about it. The largest rock festival in the history of Brasília is taking place this weekend, and one of the main bands is The Pretenders. Last Wednesday I got a call from the event organizers telling me that the leader of the band, Ms Chrissie Hynde, wanted to get together with the Hare Krishnas to do a pro-vegetarian media-op. It was held today. Surrounded by a sea of reporters, she chanted Hare Krishna with us for some time. She then spoke to the reporters about the benefits of a vegetarian diet. Afterwards, I presented her with a Bhagavad-gita. Her face lit-up, and she kissed the book and raised it to her forehead. Then she spoke to the reporters. "This is the most important book in the world," she said. "Don’t leave home without it." The reporters went wild and asked her to hold the book out, which she did for well over two minutes. We then distributed prasadam and invitations to the reporters and the crowd. It was quite nice. Thought you might enjoy hearing about it. Your servant, Giridhari Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetstraw Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Animal raisers, killers, meat packers will be very upset. They are attached to ugra-karma. They can't picture themselves doing pious, nonviolent work. Even the president serves his guests dead cows for dinner. Such a putrid pathetic person. Save this rascal please before yamadutas have their love feast dragging his bare behind away for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
