26 Second Avenue 1968

I went to “The Storefront” (as Prabhupad first called it) after work to find the devotees getting ready for a group picture to send to His Divine Grace. Being dressed in my “karmi clothes”, I took off my shirt and was given a cloth which I hastily arranged for a proper appearance. As you can see, Brahmananda (front center) was our solid anchor in guru seva.
