Celebrities Enjoy Prasadam
Over the past few years, devotees of Krsna have appeared in over two dozen feature films and network television dramas. The chanting of Hare Krsna has also been recorded by many top musicians on their albums. These events afforded ISKCON members the opportunity to share delicious prasadam meals with many of the entertainment industry's brightest stars, all of whom deeply appreciated their experiences with the delicious spiritual vegetarian foods. These include Dustin Hoffman, Muhammad Ali, Sally Struthers, Stevie Wonder, Ed Asner, Steve Allen, Elliot Gould, Richie Havens, Dick Gregory, Julie Christie, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul and Linda McCartney, Marsha Mason, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia and other members of the Grateful Dead, Ray Harryhausen, Jackson Browne, Gordon (Sting) Sumner of the Police, Ray Davies of the Kinks, and many others. In a 1982 interview, George Harrison said of prasadam, "I think it's great. It's a pity you don't have restaurants or temples on all the main streets of every little town and village like those hamburger and fried chicken places. You should put them out of business."
