Havi das\u2019 interview.
\nHavi values special moments in his spiritual life, such as the time he got to wash Srila Prabhupada\u2019s feet in Venezuela in 1975, much more than he does any of his career achievements.
\nHe 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\u2019s sponsoring awards shows, and more.
\nAnd ultimately, he says, people worship pop idols because they\u2019re disconnected from their relationship with Krishna.
\nHavi, for his part, would rather reconnect people with Lord Krishna, their original lover and friend, than be part of reinforcing the disconnect.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I\u2019m waiting for the first opportunity to open the door and run away,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m 65 years old \u2013 enough is enough! I want to dedicate the rest of my life to serving the Vaishnavas and talking to people about Krishna. And if the fact that they think I\u2019m important helps me, well, then I\u2019ll use that.\u201d

Havi das’ interview.
\nHavi 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.
\nHe 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.
\nAnd ultimately, he says, people worship pop idols because they’re disconnected from their relationship with Krishna.
\nHavi, for his part, would rather reconnect people with Lord Krishna, their original lover and friend, than be part of reinforcing the disconnect.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, I’m waiting for the first opportunity to open the door and run away,” he says. “I’m 65 years old – enough is enough! I want to dedicate the rest of my life to serving the Vaishnavas and talking to people about Krishna. And if the fact that they think I’m important helps me, well, then I’ll use that.”
