So, whatever happened to the Hare Krishna movement?

Back in the 1970s, robed members of the sect were frequently seen on street corners, chanting the “Hare Krishna” mantra, with their hair shorn.

These days, you are more likely to see robed Anglican bishops occupying a corner of Bay and Front Sts. and passing out literature.

As one senior devotee says, “we are now more interested in quality than quantity.”
