Hari Krishna Sightings?

I am always amused when i hear and then see Hari Krishnas parading down a town's street or sidewalk - i have been seeing them for decades all over the world.

But it seems at least in my town, when the Krishnas routinely would be playing on the local college campus area that they rarely are around any more.

And i rarely remember seeing them in Europe recently either - but a few weeks ago in the center of Rotterdam there they were - seranading down the main pedestrian shopping street on a busy Saturday afternoon - with the chants of Hari Krishna, Hari Krishna, Hari , Hari, Krishna, Krishna or whatever.

Any recent sightings of Hari Krishnas in Europe?

curious

A blast from the past. Remember when they used to be at airports, inside the terminals?

They do good work in London with the homeless.

I haven't seen any Hare Krishnas for a while but there are several ISKCON (as the religion is called) temples and centres in the Netherlands still.

The HQ for Transcendental Meditation (which has nothing to do with the Krishnas) is in Vlodrop, in the Netherlands, or it was, they were talking of moving after the Marahishi died.

There is at least one TM school in the Netherlands.
