Srila Prabhupada deals with Hippy

Tosan Krishna Dasa: One night at the lecture someone came dressed, as people did in the hippie era, in a long robe with moons and stars and with their long hair carefully arranged. This person sat erect during the entire lecture and then, almost glaring at Srila Prabhupada, said, "What about Buddha?" Srila Prabhupada said, "What about Buddha?" and stared right back at him. This person said, "Can you see God?" Srila Prabhupada said, "No, you are in the way." The funny thing was that that person was not the least bit annoyed by what Prabhupada said, but smiled and stayed around afterwards.
