Hare Krishna

Where’ve all the Hare Krishna’s gone? When I was a kid they were everywhere, on street corners, at airports, at sporting events, at concerts. You couldn’t go anywhere without being harassed by a Hare Krishna. They’d dance and sing and bang on their drums in their loose fitting robes, their hair shaved to the skin with ponytails sticking out from the back of the heads. But today they’re gone. Vanished. I miss the spectacle. I miss their antiquated attire. Enrollment must have slipped. Maybe they won a big law suit and don’t need the money anymore. It’s strange, they’ve just plum disappeared.
