The huge, annual Krsna Rathayatra Festival happens this weekend in Venice Beach, California. What is being celebrated? What do we know about the Hare Krsna movement - beyond the melodic chanting, someone giving you a flower, George Harrison? Upon what are the tradition of compassion based and concerns for cows and other creatures. What about vegetarianism? What about dairy? Is there a growing trend to GO VEGAN in the Hare Krsna movement? These topics will be discussed by BALABHADRA, a spiritual leader and thinker in the Hare Krsna movement who is president and founder of the International Society for Cow Protection (www.iscowp.org). In recent conversations with young Krsna devotees, BALABHADRA said: "... the conscious alternative is to be a vegan. If one is buying dairy from a source where the cows will end up at the slaughterhouse and their bull calves will end up at the slaughterhouse, then the ones purchasing those dairy products are supporters of the slaughterhouse and will reap that collective karma." Also on the next GO VEGAN WITH BOB LINDEN - guest VAIDYA PRIYANKA, ayurvedic doctor from a family of a 700 year lineage of women ayurvedic healers, talks to us from her office in Chennai India (formerly Madras), the hub of knowledge in that country. She discusses diet and lifestyle from her ayurvedic perspective, warning her patients against milk and dairy consumption. Why does she call dairy "filth"? Listen!

I have much discomfort for the world we live in. The planet is so beautiful itself, and yet the people on it fight one another which ruins the world's beauty. It is time we stop fighting. Even if it means those who refuse to fight have to suffer, than so be it. You will never end violence by showing violence for others. This is not just your life we're talking about, it's you're soul.

At the end of their life, the best you can say about some folks is that they really didn't do much harm, or maybe they were nice to their kids. This week on "Indymedia Presents" we pay tribute to another fallen comrade. Jim Hinde, well known Seattle busker, passed away. Just about anybody who has spent much time in Seattle's open-air public market probably saw Jim playing at one time or another. He entertained, all right, but more to the point, he inspired and influenced many with his music. When we got word that Jim had passed, we made another death-defying trip into our archives and found an old piece of Jim Hinde performing live at a demonstration, singing his song "Raise Your Glass, Raise Your Voice." We raise our glass and dedicate this show to Jim Hinde. http://cdbaby.com/cd/hinde4 Public Access producers, community screeners, and IMCs (Independent Media Centers) are encouraged to screen or air "Indymedia Presents".
