Chakora

Chakora is a blog written by my old friend Brian Frank, also known as Bhagavan Das, who I met about 12 years ago while he was living in the Hare Krishna temple in Pacific Beach, San Diego.

I used to go and eat at the temple every week because they served really great vegan prasadam. Anyway, this guy would be selling the Bhagavad Gita out on the streets in full Krishna monk garb, but he would also be wearing some raver stacked shoes and a feather boa or some shit. Dude was crazy and awesome. He now lives and works in New York City, and the mania is alive and well. Read all about it here.

A side note; he is also the one who introduced me to black metal. So that's that.
