\nKuladri: I just spoke w Svavas Prabhu, the police have him and 40 devotees a block away in a parking lot. they are OK. someone called the police directly warning of a possible bomb. the temple was not called or warned. the police came and evacuated the temple<\/p>\n
Sarvani: I just spoke with Gouri dd who lives in the temple apts across the street with Kriyashakti dd and she told me that all the devotees have been evacuated from the temple. Only ones left in the temple are the deities and Prabhupada….Kriyashakti was one of the devotees in the temple at the time the threat was called in and she is with the other devotees that were led to the parking lot…They have been there since around 7 AM ish (Gurupuja) time. Gouri dd was apparently in the temple also but she snuck away back to her apt.<\/p>\n
Apparently the police are holding everyone in the parking lot in case the culprit who made the threat may still be among the devotees who were in the temple at the time.<\/p>\n
