The Lord’s Message Goes to America

02 October
This article, “The Lord’s Message Goes to America" was published in a local Bengali daily - Dainik Basumati , August 13, 1965, in Calcutta, India.

The Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said, prithibite ache yata nagaradi grama. That prophecy is going to be fulfilled now! Srimad Bhaktivedanta Swami, a resident of Vrindavana, has translated the Srimad Bhagavatam into English in sixty volumes with word-to-word meaning and purports. Before this great work could be appreciated by his countrymen, people from far off America have expressed their admiration of his supernormal achievement and have invited him so that they may meet him in person and acquaint themselves with his work. Hence he is departing from Calcutta for New York this 12th (sic) day of August.

Chants, Flowers for the Swami

27 September
The spiritual leader of Krishna Consciousness was spirited away in a Cadillac taxi at Honolulu Airport yesterday afternoon. 

A reporter tried to interview A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami - spiritual master of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness - but the swami was shielded by a cordon of devotees through the baggage-claim area and into the waiting taxi. 

The swami appeared to have arrived without luggage. 

Incense trailed in the wake of the group of about 20 persons who greeted him. Drums sounded, and the chants ensued. 

IN THE CENTER of the wailing chanters stood the swami, in traditional robes, with plumeria leis piled high onto his shoulders. 

He has a regal bearing, chin uplifted and a benign smile crinkling his face. 

In the taxi he crossed his hands, as if in prayer. On his fingers were two large rings. Alongside on the seat lay a ripe mango, a gift from one of the faithful. 

Members of his flock tossed leis onto the antennas of the taxi. 

As he sat in the taxi, his followers knelt on the side-walk. 

Then three attendants got in the Cadillac, and it left. 

A few minutes later, the chanters got into two small trucks and followed.
