In 1966 avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas released a short documentary in which Allen Ginsberg chanted Hare Krishna, capturing the vibrant spirit of the times in New York City.
"So far Ginsberg is concerned, he promised before me that everywhere he would chant Hare Krishna Mantra, and actually he is doing it everywhere. So Ginsberg may sometimes be able to understand our philosophy in the future."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, February 3, 1970)
