ACLU Member Receives Ajnata Sukrti
Here's a fun one. Our three-man party is on another traveling sankirtan excursion out of San Diego. A few days ago we were distributing books at Fresno State University in central California. Half way through the day we were approached by the Kazi's constables (disguised as university policemen) and told to stop what we were doing.
