that is the poster to the mantra rock dance arranged by alan
ginsberg,with the grateful dead and the bggest bands in S.F.,
i think it was 67', to pay for the hare krishna temple,everyone
was there.


in 1965 america lifted its immigration ban on asians because they wanted an influx
of trained professionals for the new high tech industries ,the u.s. was
lacking what they thought was enough qualified engineers,etc.

so in came the first wave of immigrants from india, almost all professionals,
educated and well off, the first "brain drain".

also came a hindu monk sponsered by one of india's richest royal families,
Srimati Scindia gave A.C. Bhaktivedanta free passage and her sponsership
to N.Y. City,he was 69 years old,and had been initiated into the renounced
order of mendicants,sanyassa, giving up family and all material possesions,
living in india's holiest city and translating his sects holy books into english,
which he was asked to do by his guru many years previously.


he landed in america with a few dollars,in a few years he would count among his
friends and disciples alan ginsberg the 'guru' of the counter culture just beginning,
george harrison,john lennon, and some of the children of the richest people in the world.

by 1970 "iskcon" or the hare krishnas had temples all over the world,
they were the only world wide hindu church,making it the only place for the
indian diaspora to congregate, this had a profund effect on indian
politics in the years to come.

Watching Hindu Interests

VViswaISHVA HINDU PARISHAD

VHP remains alert on the conditions of Hindus living abroad and takes up the issues affecting the Hindu interests. The question of discrimination against Hindus m Arab countries was taken up with the Government of India. A seminar on "Threat to Religious Freedom in Fiji" was organised in Delhi on 13th September, 1988 presided over by Justice S.H. Sheth. Shri A.P. Venkateswaran, former Foreign Secretary, was the principal speaker. Matters regarding persecution of the members of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in USSR and Greece were also taken up with the authorities of those countries. The threat of closure of Bhakti Vedanta Manor (Krishna Temple of ISCON) held out by the Hertsmere Borough Council, U.K. was opposed, Protests in regard to maltreatment of Chakmas and Hindus in Bangladesh were also lodged, and demonstrations were also held in this regard. When relations got strained between Bharat and Nepal, the Governments of both the countries were urged to resolve the differences amicably. Attention of the Bhutanese authorities was drawn to the alleged maltreatment of Hindus in Bhutan. The Ambassador of Bhutan took pains to explain the position in detail. He sent photographs of the King of Bhutan presenting idols of deities to Hindu Temples and attending Hindu functions.
