California
Firestone Receives Gita
Posted May 1, 2004

Andrew Firestone, heir of the Firestone tire-manufacturing family and heart-throb star of the television reality show The Batchelor, received a Bhagavad-gita from ITV’s Nrsimhananda dasa at the Pyramid House in Topanga, California. E! Entertainment, a nightly show-business program broadcast nationwide, was taping an interview with local resident Kansas Carradine, daughter of veteran Hollywood actor, David Carradine.

Andrew was pleased to receive something spiritual, and the inscription directed his attention to Bhagavad-gita verse 6:41: "The unsuccessful yogi, after many many years of enjoyment on the planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous people, or into a family of rich aristocracy."

We pray that Andrew, a very nice young man, may take full advantage of his true good fortune: A moment’s association with the pure devotee can save one from the greatest danger. The crew all took prasadam at the end of shooting.
