New Vrindaban’s Transcendental “Throwback Thursday” – 02/27/14.
Each week we highlight an earlier era of ISKCON New Vrindaban.
This week’s challenge: There are fourteen devotees in the photo. Can you correctly identify them all?
Extra Credit: Why are they dressed up so colorfully?
Post your guesses on the “who, what, when & where” in the comment section at the New Vrindaban Facebook Page.
Technical stuff: We share the photo Thursday and confirm known details Sunday. Let’s keep it light and have a bit of fun!
Special request: If you have a photo showing New Vrindaban devotees in action, share it with us and we’ll use it in a future posting.
