Swamiji spoke about chanting and asked Ginsberg<br />

to lead. He led some really ecstatic chanting<br />

while playing his harmonium. The audience joined in<br />

as well as various band members, as pictures of<br />

Krishna were projected on the walls. The audience<br />

chanting and dancing went on <strong>for</strong> over an hour.<br />

Swamiji gave the benediction and left. The other rock<br />

bands continued the show.<br />
