Tompkins Square Park Hare Krishna Tree

Comments

The Hare Krishna Tree is located here in Tompkins Square Park.

The park's entrance is at East 7th and Avenue A, and it has been the heart of the neighborhood since it opened.

Additionally, the park is also the place where Indian Sadhu A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada came to sing and preach in 1966, beginning the worldwide Hare Krishna movement. An elm tree in the park's southern plaza that he chanted beneath is now considered sacred to the Hare Krishna faith, as noted by a New York City Department of Parks and Recreation plaque.^[37]
