suchandra 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Never heard of this - what's it all about, a devotee on the edge? http://www.sivaramaswami.com/?p=1229 Clint Eastwood moved from spaghetti westerns to spiritual treatises with this 1971 movie about a maverick San Francisco Krishna. DIRTY HARRY KRISHNA “He’s a devotee on the edge… and he’s praying by his own rules.” Shaven headed and sporting a huge .44 Magnum Tambourine, Eastwood created an enduring genre icon in ‘Dirty’ Harry Krishna – a devotee who has little regard for the rules but always gets results. In a defining early scene, he confronts an unbeliever whilst hanging around at an airport: “Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking: ‘did he sing six verses or only five?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all that worshipping I kinda lost track myself. But given that we are all spirits temporarily trapped in a material body, the question you gotta ask yourself is: do ya feel at one with the universe? Well, do ya… PUNK?” Constantly butting heads with the chief of his temple, Harry gets a dressing down over his controversial techniques: “How did you know he was a Pagan?” “Look, when I see a naked man chasing a woman through a field with a sprig of sage and a robe on, I convert him.” Harry finds ultimate enlightenment at the end of the movie and moves on to a higher plane of existence, but the character was reincarnated several times for a series of sequels. ____________________ Ed: in the same search, the following suspect character was also discovered Entry Filed under: Share It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another soul saved, if only for a minute. <center></center> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
