were encouraged to join in as the chanting began. One devotee thumped an Indian-style durnal called a Mrdanga, while another played a keyboard instrument called a Harmonium. Maha Dyuti himself clamped the Karatalsa, a pair of metal hand cymbals.
The drummer led the chant and the beat grew more high-pitched and feverish as he thumped drumsticks and louder and chanted, "I'll be here." The chantine subsided after about 20 minutes.
Saying knowledge of the "absoluta truth!" would come to anyone who was serious, humble and submissive, the clean-cut, in-depth, the clear-eyed so suited to the image he described.
Following the chanting of the mantra, Kanu Pri Ya Dasa, another of the three devotees, gave a lecture from the Bhagavad-gita. The teacher was 18 years old. It explains the science of Krishna.
LYRICALLY SPEAKING in Sanakrit at various intervals, Kanu Pri Pria translated the message of the Bhagavad-gita with soft-spoken sincerity.
While listeners questioned him about his lecture, the Maury Dhati served the guests praisons, the vegetarian foodstuff eaten by them, and the sanctified and offered to God before eaten.
As he described the ingredients in the various vegetable, rice and bread dishes, Maha Dyuti remarked, "There is no arsenic in the food."
Maha Dyuti's KU crusade isn't his first. He has traveled to hundreds of colleges across the country, and says he enjoys the atmosphere of college towns.
"S spiritual awareness seems to be one topic the universities don't teach," he said.
CONTEMPORARY MAN is too concerned with material goods, and his attempts to be happy are usually centered on drinking, gambling and other desires of the flesh, Maha Maha and others. He is rather with them; their material concern because they are only part of a temporary existence.
"People are trying to find pleasure through touch of the body, but the body is one temporary," he said.
"Human life is meant to seek spiritual involvement. In order to understand spiritual experience, one must
Instead, Maha Dyuti explained that people
should study spiritual matters and come to an understanding of their relationship with God.
The Krishna Consciousness movement requests its followers to comply with four regulatory principles. Those regulations are: no eating of animal flesh, no indulgence in illicit sex, no taking of intoxicants and no gambling.
WHEN THE MEAL CONCLUDED, several visitors began arguing with Kanu Pri Ya about his lesson from the Bhagavad-gita. One visitor called it "drive" and another vehemently disagreed with many of the principles discussed during the evening.
Maha Dyuti later commented on the disturbances, saying the session had been over.
"It was completely opposite of what it generally was. It is usually a thoroughly joyful experience."
"We don't expect people to solely accept our philosophy, but we do expect that they will be at least polite on a material level, especially if they come over here.
"I've been in contact with him, and I'm sure he feels an appeal would not be appropriate."
JVJ
From page 1
VJH JAD FACED a deadline of tomorrow for the team, so the Manager was allowed 30 days to file after the Man.
Ed Carter, former Lawrence mayor and a major liaison between JVJ and the city, said he was "not surprised" with the firm's decision not to sue.
"As I've said before, JVJ is a highly respected, first-class operation," Carter said. "I'm sure they want to be appreciated, and don't want to be insulted." He added to the furor that 'already been created.'
The "furor" Carter referred to manifested itself at Lawrence-Dougall County Planning Commission and City Commission hearings. Both meetings, held Feb. 23 and March 17, featured overflow crowds that expressed welcoming sentiment against a cornfield mail.
"It just wasn't the time, the project wasn't right," Carter said of the request. "I will say they are working hard, all if they're back in a few years or even before, depending on what happens downtown."
"I just hop we can work with the retailers and get something going. If we don't, we're just moving forward."
ZINN HAD SAID earlier that "JVJ has no desire to ram a cornfield mail down the unwilling throats of Lawrence's citizens."
He said that JVJ had noted the results of the recent City Commission election. All five candidates opposed the cornfield mail.

from Tom Gleason, pronounces herself
"really pleased"
LAWRENCE'S NEWLY ELECTED mayor,
Marcel Francisco, expressed similar sentiments.
"I think we're going in the right direction on the retail issue downtown," she said. "I think we're eventually going to have a really nice downtown with a lot of more urban-type activity."
"That's really civilized of them," she said. "I'm pleased to see that what we do to the downtown will not be the product of threats, but of things we both want to get done."
"If JVJ had sued, it would have set up a very different relationship with the city, which not when you did. It was not."
