This week’s challenge: Though the photo is a bit blurry, those familiar with New Vrindaban oxen programs, both in the 1970s and 2014, should be able to recognize the person driving the ox cart. Can you identify him?
Extra credit: When and where was this photo taken?
Extra, extra credit: What are the names of the two oxen?
