krishna 13 July 2011
A group of Hari Krishnas went past the flat yesterday in great form, dancing and singing. They seem to me to have been missing for ages. Time was when they’d daily walk along banging hand drums and chiming chimes and chanting ‘Hari, Hari, Hari Krishna’ in their peach coloured robes. Yesterday the robes were the same and chimes were chimed and drums beaten BUT there was also accordion and whistles and it was very very tuneful, more so than the Old Style – in other words, bigger production values… I couldn’t help but wonder if this is as controversial as when Bob Dylan went ‘electric’…
