1796: Prabhupāda Made New York a Holy Pl...

RAGHUNATH CAPPO & KAUSTUBHA DAS
About this episode

Sixty years ago Śrīla Prabhupāda arrived in New York City — not by accident, but by design. He understood that what happens in New York radiates out to the world. In this special episode Raghunath and Kaustubha are joined by Aditya Devi Dasi from the Brooklyn Temple to talk about the ISKCON 60th anniversary weekend — a full three days of festivities in the city where it all began. The Wisdom of the Sages community will be there. And as Raghunath says — when devotees gather in the spirit of service, they don't just attend a park. They turn it into a holy place.
