...RAMA RAMA HARE HARE. They contend that this makes their lives sublime, and that it can do the same for you and me. They ask for money and distribute cards bearing the chant I have just outlined. Take a card, because it contains also an invitation to a love feast held every Sunday at their temple in Allston. Lots of free Indian food and skits explaining all about Krishna...
