I hate that damn car trip.
I am in Puri today. For those of you who do not know Puri is a coastal city in Orissa. It contains the most holy of holy shrines to the Lord Jagganath, who happens to be an incarnation of Krishna. That means that the place is filthy with Hare Krishnas.
The locals really do not like the Hare Krishna. The view them all as low life smugglers who are way to whacked out on drugs to be any real benefit to society. Hare Krishnas are, for all intents and purposes, Hindus. But not according to the Hindus. See to BE a Hindu, you must be BORN a Hindu. There is no BECOMING a Hindu. So all the Hindus around here look at the Hare Krishna as some perversion of their faith.
I am just happy they keep the singing and dancing to the beach.
