Turning the Hippies into Happies
Srila Prabhupada wrote a letter to his disciple, Damodar Das, 3 December 1971 in which he said that this Krishna consciousness movement was turning the hippies into happies. I have first hand experience of this since I was one those hippies who became a happy. This was the great kindness of Srila Prabhupada that by his unflinching loving mercy thousands of hippies became his disciples.
In this regard Srila Prabhupada wrote to his disciple, Sridama Das on 8 July 1970, "It is a fact that the hippies are our best clients. I had very good response in San Francisco during Rathayatra festival. I saw that they were taking up the chanting of Hare Krishna maha mantra very feelingly even without the presence of any devotee to lead them. They appreciated my lecture and I appreciated their attitude. They joined in Rathayatra very enthusiastically. So try your best to convince them by very nice preaching and in particular very nice Sankirtana party and distribution of our literatures."
Now we are praying that just as Krishna consciousness became very popular with the hippies, that now it will become popular with the entire world.

Reply: Blind Leading the Blind
Rajneesh does not know what he is talking about. If you follow such bogus gurus it is the blind leading the blind and you will fall into the same ditch that he is trapped in.
