The legal battles to establish public Harinama in America.
Satsvarupa Das Goswami: “I don’t remember the exact details, but somehow I decided to go to the library to research the Supreme Court’s decisions about the type of activity we were carrying out. I discovered that almost all these decisions were made by the Supreme Court Justice Warren in the ’40s and ’50s, and almost all the cases referred to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. There was one laywer I noticed—he was himself a Jehovah’s Witness—who had gone again and again to the Supreme Court and won. In delivering the judgment, Justice Warren had made strong statements about how the First Amendment approves the right of people to share their religion in public places. The fact that they asked for donations didn’t make it any less religious. Thus I discovered that the Supreme Court had clearly defended ISKCON’s right to witness our religion on the streets and to collect money for our tracts.
