Caption for page x: The Swami’s weekly meetings beneath a tall elm tree in Tompkins Square Park, New York City, made Krishna consciousness visible to the Western world for the first time in history. The unprecedented public chanting of “Hare Krishna” caused numerous New Yorkers to take up bhakti yoga, the path of devotion.
