I have dealings with a Krsna group in San Jose; the Sri Chaitanya Saraswast Math. Many of them do dress the part with dotis and saris ect. They do stand out in crowds. I find the group to be highly motivatrd and mostly harmless. They do not try to convert me and respect my Buddhism.
INTERSTING TO SEEA GROUP OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN NY A CITY OF COMMERCE AND NEWS. PRABHUPAD DID A WONDERFUL JOB. I AM NOT A HARE KRISNA FREAK. BUT STILL LIKE WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING. THE BEST THING WHICH I LIKE ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DANCE WHEN THEY SING DEVOTIONAL SONGS . ABOUT THIER BELIEF I AM NOT A ENTHUSIAST
