New Vrindaban’s Transcendental Throwback Thursday – 08/14/14
New Vrindaban’s Transcendental Throwback Thursday – 08/14/14.
Similar to last week, since the people in the photo are not easily recognizable we’ll ask a broader question.
This week’s challenge: How many devotees can you name who were part of the New Vrindaban construction crew around the time of this photo?
Extra credit: When and where was this photo taken? (hint: same as last week!)
What to do: Post your guesses on the “who, what, when, where & why” in the comment section at the Brijabasi Spirit Website.
Technical stuff: We share a photo Thursday and confirm known details Sunday. Let’s keep it light and have a bit of fun!
Special request: If you have a photo showing New Vrindaban devotees in action, share it with us and we’ll use it in a future posting.
