Aksayananda's stepfather, Hector (Robbie) Robertson, had volunteered to drive Prabhupada to the hall. Early in the evening, the same quaint old car that had picked up Srila Prabhupada at the airport that morning coughed and splut
A small, burgundy-coloured prefabricated house now served as New Zealand's first Hare Krsna Temple. Mount Eden was situated at the end of a lava flow from an old volcano.
