New Vrindaban’s Transcendental “Throwback Thursday” – 01/09/14
New Vrindaban’s Transcendental “Throwback Thursday” – 01/09/14.
Each week we highlight an earlier era of ISKCON New Vrindaban.
This week’s challenge: Name the three devotees who can be clearly identified in the photo.
Extra credit: With a little patience and determination, you might be able to ID a few more.
Post your best guesses on the “who, what, when & where” in the comment section at the New Vrindaban Facebook Page.
Technical stuff: We share the photo Thursday and confirm known details Sunday.
Let’s have a bit of fun and see who knows their New Vrindaban history!
