I think this one deserves a keep. Devamrita Swami has received significant coverage in this documentary and some coverage in the US media in the 1980s (in New York Times for example), when he was the president of New Vrindavan Hare Krishna community. Also he's one of the few senior leaders in the Hare Krishna movement, where he is a sannyasi, a diksa guru and a member of the Governing Body Commission.--Gaura79 (talk) 06:25, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
