Krishna leader visits

This article, "Krishna leader visits" was published in The Honolulu Advertiser, October 10, 1972, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

In a flower-strewn ceremony at Honolulu Airport yesterday morning, Swami A. C. Bhaktivedanta was greeted by 20 chanting members of the Oahu Temple of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. 

The Indian spiritual leader, who is in his 70s, was here for a 14-hour stopover en route to Manila from San Francisco. 

After four days in Manila, he will fly to Delhi, India. 

The greeting party had piled purple and striped cushions on one of the terminal benches. 

The Swami seated himself on these and clashed a set of small cymbals together in accompaniment to the chanting.

A short time later, he left for his hotel to rest before delivering a lecture at 7 p.m. yesterday at the Krishna temple at 2016 McKinley St. 

He was scheduled to leave Oahu at 1 a.m. today.
