Hare Krishnas were getting a bit closer to nirvana in Washington Square Park at the Hare Krishna Festival.
Krishna, bus, mariachi music melange
Music was in the air — including
atop a bus and in the park — on
Saturday. More specifically, a
mariachi band teamed up with
the roving Abracadabra bus in
Union Square, and Hare Krishnas
danced ecstatically to hypnotic
beats in Washington Square Park
at their Hare Krishna Festival.
The mariachi band members were
celebrating President Trump’s
declaration that he was calling
off his threatened tariff war with
Mexico over immigration. Abracadabra,
which also vibed for a
while with the Krishnas in Washington
Square, finished up on Avenue
A at Tompkins Square Park.
Although the groovin’ bus has
been doing monthly jaunts around
the Downtown area, including
stops at the Whitney Museum,
Washington Square and Tompkins
Square, a band member said it’s a
big production to put on and they
may be taking a break for a little
while.
