Hare Krishna! The Mantra, the Movement, and the Swami Who Started it All: Featurette. The man's name was Sri Prabhupad, and he brought a form of Hinduism with a strong devotional emphasis on Lord Krishna to Westerners who ate it up, party under the influence of the Beatles. The Hindus of India were not to keen on what the Westerners were doing in the name of Krishna, chasing bliss with sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. So a giant Bollywood production was made to put their feelings on display for the whole subcontinent to see.
Asha Bhosle sings "Dum Maru Dum," a famous song about the hippies who came to India to use a special kind of hash pipe, circa 1971.
