Isn't Hare Krsna the name of a virus or something like that? 69.192.62.63 01:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
I added one movie and two t.v sketch comedies and a fiction section which included two novels.
To GourangaUK, you shouldn't radically alter this article. I know that it's not all cited, but why gut the article? It's still accurate and informative, it's not like this is some majorly important article that needs to be taken seriously, it's just a trivia type of article in the first place, just let people add to it to see what we can learn, umkay?

I don't get it. The only difference between now and then is the amount. In both cases it's just trivia. Why is less trivia somehow better, when usually in an encyclopedia of anything, the more the better?

I have an odd recollection of seeing an old Saturday Night Live rerun, with someone like Father Guido Sarducci saying maha mantra for one reason or another. Of course, it is a very foggy memory, so I wont quote it until I get some confirmation. One thing I do know, I either heard Maha Mantra on an old SNL rerun (late 70's early 80's), or on the old program Second City TV. Siyavash 12:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
If possible, we should try and reference all of the statements in this article. I'll start when I have time :) Chopper Dave 22:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
On Heroes, during the funeral services of Chandra Suresh, the priest is chanting some mantra concerning Sri Nrsimhadeva, but he appears to be wearing tilak from another Vaishnava sampradaya. I'm assuming this does NOT count to be listed in the article, but I'm mentioning it here just in case. Siyavash 15:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I think there is a reference in the movie Stripes. And as for George Harrison there is also a reference I think in the song "Living in the Material World." MDuchek 04:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
When Will Smith (at 32:47-49 min) crosses the street, two men cross it behind him, one of them looking as a devotee. Any confirmation? J. 90.177.206.31 ( talk) 10:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know how the association of Hare Krishna devotees with airports got started? Frotz ( talk) 08:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Greetings. Airports were great places to get donations for books & flowers & other paraphernalia because people traveling by air usually carry extra cash, and it was easy for trained solicitors to get them to part with some of it. This fact was discovered probably in the early 1970s. I was approached at the Chicago O'Hare airport in 1978. ISKCON was able to legally do this because of First Amendment to the United States Constitution rights. Unfortunately, devotees began using deceitful methods of increasing their collections, and a backlash was created. Some airport employees, disturbed by seeing thousands of travelers ripped off, created vigilante teams which followed book distributors and harassed them. See Russell Chandler and Evan Maxwell in “Krishna: Earthly Kingdom of Movement Evidences Disarray,” Los Angeles Times (February 15, 1981). After many lawsuits they were eventually banned from most airports in the mid-1980s. Henry Doktorski ( talk) 14:20, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
But wasn't the Hare Krishna movement on the decline by the late 1990s anyway, and so wasn't there less of a Hare Krishna presence at airports (generally speaking) around the United States (and possibly elsewhere too) leading up to the time prior to 9-11 anyway? I'm sure that after 9-11 they were even less welcome at airports, but isn't it also true that the movement had been on the decline (visibly and perhaps in other ways) for some years before this also? From what I can tell, this seems to have been the case. Any other views and/or thoughts on this subject? Geneisner ( talk) 23:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
