Delta City Acclaims Srila Prabhupāda

NEW ORLEANS-Officials here praised the spiritual master of the Krishna Consciousness Society today for "establishing a workable alternative to the problem of drug addiction and alienation." Representing Mayor Landrieu was welfare chief Morris Jeff, who presented His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada with honorary citizenship, a key to the city, and a fragrant garland of roses. Srila Prabhupada reciprocated by handing Mr. Jeff a volume of his Srimad-Bhagavatam. The brief ceremony took place at a reception held July 31 in the spiritual master's honor. Mr. Jeff later commented that his meeting with Srila Prabhupada was "a beautiful experience."
