Havi das’ interview.
Havi values special moments in his spiritual life, such as the time he got to
wash Srila Prabhupada’s feet in Venezuela in 1975, much more than he does any
of his career achievements.
He is eager to warn younger generations of devotees enamored with the idea of
fame and the Grammys that there is a dark side to the music business, with
predatory record labels taking advantage of artists, morally bankrupt
companies like McDonald’s sponsoring awards shows, and more.
And ultimately, he says, people worship pop idols because they’re disconnected
from their relationship with Krishna.
Havi, for his part, would rather reconnect people with Lord Krishna, their
original lover and friend, than be part of reinforcing the disconnect.
