In 1967 Hare
Krishna devotees opened their second temple, in San Francisco's
Haight-Ashbury district, where they served prasadam meals free to
over 250 people daily. By the early 1970s, the ISKCON Sunday feast
had been established as a weekly event in major cities throughout
the world, including New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., San Francisco,
Los Angeles, San Diego, Mexico City, Montreal, London, Paris, Rome,
Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Nairobi, Calcutta, Bombay, Sydney, Melbourne,
and Rio de Janeiro. Srila Prabhupada often light-heartedly referred
to the Hare Krishna movement as "the kitchen religion,"
thus expressing his satisfaction with how well his followers were
carrying out his desire to flood the world with prasadam.
